    I can't believe Saleski hasn't already commented. I did, in fact, use the word "vinyl."

    And you didn't even mention how much you don't like "Marys Place." Not once. Not to worry though, I managed to sneak in a reference...

    And the side goes down swinging. You all missed "the" album of the week. Willie and Wynton captured performing together live is a classic. Better luck next time.

    It does look like a goodun' Bicho. But since I just covered a Willie release last week, I figured I'd give the rest of the artistic world some ink this time around.

    i knew about the Wynton and Willie thing...but i just stared at it and didn't know what to day. plus, Patti really trumps almost all.

    and the fanboy is using the word 'vinyl' these days....scary.

    Damn, I wonder if there's an artist out there Willie hadn't teamed up with yet. Just last night I was listening to him trade vocals with Dr. John on a cut from Rebennack's latest album. He's gotten his duets with Tony Bennett out of the way, right?

    Abe Vigoda...now that's a band name you don't forget.

    Willie Nelson and Bruce Eisenbeil!!!

    ok, maybe not.

    How about Willie and Abe Vigoda? (no, not the band...)
