Good list, yourself. And you've got it down to the essence -- reserved, up front, you're known, no hassles.

Did a quick pass thru the Mavericks, Clinch Mountain Boys (did Ralph Stanley really want to be there?) and found Raul Malo's Stardust quite interesting.

To which end, allow me to share the greatest version of the greatest song ever written -- Lionel Hampton All Stars -- Stardust

Lawdy, I'd have loved to be there for that!

I saw Lionel Hampton. He was great. I noticed his bassist was Jimmy Woode who had played with Duke Ellington and talked to him later.
