Hey Jack Kerouac 10,000 Maniacs In My Tribe
More Than This 10,000 Maniacs Love Among The Ruins
Avalon Roxy Music Avalon (…Interesting to compare those two 10,000 Maniacs recordings.. Love Among The Ruins was the band’s first release without Natalie Merchant. “More Than This” reminded me of that Roxy Music classic.) (Songs of life and death…)

Cup Of Coffee Ramblin’ Jack Elliot The Long Ride

Check out www.ramblinjack.com for a great bio). (We might have overdone it with the coffee in that last set. Now Amy Farris can’t get to sleep…)

Those Were The Days Rachelle Garniez Live At WDFH
(…We heard Rachelle Garniez with a live, off-beat version of that Mary Hopkins hit from the late 1960s, recorded live at WDFH in April. The improbable hit song was written by a fellow named Gene Raskin, who added the lyrics to an old traditional Russian folk tune. Raskin passed away last July at the age of 94.)
