David Bromberg

April 14, 2023March 28, 2023 by jeckman

Second full length from Bromberg. Love the version of Mr. Bojangles here maybe even more than Jerry Jeff Walker’s original. Also a great version of Tennessee Waltz.

With Andy Statman, Tom Sheehan, Ken Kosek. Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann and Keith Godchaux join on Sharon, plus Phil Lesh on Demon in Disguise.

My copy from a local thrift store $3 bin.

Think of it like a language: if a writer’s only engagement with it is grabbing words from … Read more

Mastodon Thoughts Worth Reading

January 17, 2023 by jeckman

Paul Stamatiou’s Thoughts on Twitter, Mastodon, and owning your data says many of the things I’ve been thinking but unable to articulate as I start stumbling into the Fediverse and the Indie Web.
