Brother JT - Mole in the Ground - Live on WPRB

notes:
-after 3 weeks in italy, I had to play some italian music to start the show. my family was all very excited to hear that I liked paolo conte. he sure beats the hell out of most music I heard while I was in italy, which mostly suffered from creed syndrome (the "I've had my asshole sewn shut for a year now" school of vocals). that and a lot of led zeppelin.
-linda perhacs is a wonderful folk/psych singer, a style which I have been enjoying a lot of lately.
-the mingus was played because I've been listening to it almost non-stop for a month and had to get it out of my system. definitely the best piece of large-ensemble jazz I've ever heard. the gershwin is in my opinion deeply connected, though the cincinnati pops version of it was not the best ever. unfortunately, that was all I had.
-I was recently informed that the correct name for black elf speaks is elvish presley
-props to jon solomon for having brother jt in. what a great live set.
