Yeah, thanks for that Keely song Joe. I was lucky to see her with Sam Butera (Louis and Keely’s old saxist) in Vegas in 1994, then got the chance to interview her in the early 2000s for Time Out — she was so generous with the stories and (as far as I could tell) did not sugarcoat any of it. Great woman.

@steveo that makes me feel better about the 85 degrees here in Maine. I don't mind it except for the fact that I already tossed my window fan because it was broken in a way that made it impossible to dissemble and clean.

Autumn makes me want to hear the Misfits covering Doris Day. Joy Division covering Doris Day is also acceptable.

Mornin'! Back in my record store days we had to make handwritten placeholder cards for sealed CDs to put in the racks, and it became a game to quickly and accurately recreate the album covers on post-its. My two favorite people to draw were Chet Baker and Hank Williams; both had sharp features and beady eyes that were immensely satisfying.

And then there was this comment made by some reader named "Stu", saying that he liked what he was listening to but he got the feeling from the song that it was in the 70's and was "a little too "lonely" for today, although of course I was wrong. But I figured Stu was probably older than a lot of me and is like me, so I thought it was time to revisit Baba and I'm just going to give it a whirl. In any case, now you guys know why I like it so much.
