Thanks, Michael, for your kind mention of my little corner of the 'Stack! Always much appreciated (as is any poody pix I anxiously await tomorrow)! So much entertaining content today, MA....even more so than usual! I NEED to see both those docs...The Wrecking Crew and Hired Guns....'tis shameful I haven't yet!

Just as I'm writing this, my friend, Mark (Jack White's A&R exec @ Third Man Records), drops me a note reminding me that a Tom Petty doc, "Somewhere You Feel Free...The Making of Wallflowers" is now free on YT. Your readers may enjoy taking advantage of catching that.

Another embarrassment (understandable as an '84 release, smack dab in the middle of my 3-year foray back to college at 30!): I've never even HEARD OF (much less heard) Keats! I know each member of Keats "intimately" (aurally...I'm hip to their previous credits...Camel and Pilot chief among them!) Didn't care much for this song, which is neither "hear" nor there, but I think I need to check out that album! I'm going to start an article page, in case I end up featuring them, and I'll put a link to this piece on it, to at least remind me to credit you for the tip!!

Speaking of tips, I'm dropping Billy Strings article #2 tomorrow (Friday) at 7am CT...there will be TWO stories about the acquisitions of different Martin guitars! Billy's got a heart-tugging story of retrieving the Limited Edition D-93 his father sold when Billy and bro were kids (so they could eat)! Plus, I'll include a link to the article where Stephen is racing to be the first to a gorgeous Martin 1923 Koa wood model! We've included an exclusive photo of him playing his Koa model in the article!

Thanks again, Michael, and you and readers have a great weekend!

Lots of good stuff on the Keats album - I chose that one because it’s maybe a bit more “acoustic” sounding - so much good on there though, hard to choose - I like the whole album!
