I feel like hell. Back when I’m better.
The “Get Well, Get Well Soon, We Want You To Get Well” Edition
Bob Dylan & The Band, “Don’t Ya Tell Henry;” Blind Willie McTell, “Will Fox;” Bob Dylan, “Stack A Lee;” Bob Dylan, “Mr. Tambourine Man” (Live 1966 — an amazing performance); Elvis Costello, “Your Mind is on Vacation/Your Funeral, My Trial;” Blind Willie McTell, “Mamma, Let Me Scoop for You;” Charley Patton, “Magnolia Blues;” Issa Boulos, “Wa Ma Wajadtu Shafa ‘Amir;” The Fairfield Four, “Noah;” Elvis Costello, “Poisoned Rose” (Solo Demo).
Actually, in between “Your Mind is on Vacation/Your Funeral, My Trial” and “Mamma, Let Me Scoop for You” is a short sound clip from Kindergarten Cop where a young boy chirps helpfully, “It might be a tumor,” and Arnold responds, trying to sound authoritative but clearly exasperated, “It’s not a tumor!”
Dude, we watched that movie the other day and I’m still entertained by it. I just can’t help myself.

Did you know Wanda Jackson is playing here in May? It just so happens some good friends of mine are relatives of hers. So, spread the word. Also, Moonshine Mason and the Rot Gut Gang are opening.
Word is born.
