Late June Music Infusion
In addition to picking up Johnny Cash’s American IV: The Man Comes Around, I also got Riding With The King by B.B. King & Eric Clapton and You Are So Good to Me by Waterdeep. The Clapton album continues my long-standing love affair with Clapton’s music—some teenage boys have a Led Zepplin or AC/DC phase, but I had an Eric Clapton phase—and the Waterdeep selection is influenced by John Wilson, who has been trying to get me to listen to Waterdeep for a couple of years now. Soon I’ll relent and buy a bunch of Waterdeep like I did with Over the Rhine at Jeff Holland’s behest.

After dinner we walked backstage and watched his show for about 20 minutes. (or 1 guitar solo) I was glad to see that Steve Gadd was backing him up on the drums. He’s a favorite of mine..

As I mentioned, I got a Paste Music Sampler [Sampler IV, to be exact] today. The CDs had come in a while back, but I hadn’t gotten them out of the apartment office. [Why that place keeps bankers' hours is beyond me!] I now also have:
