What's lying around your sound equipment looking well used? And, just as a wee quiz, any idea what the connection is between the first and last artists in that list above?
Right, off to file everything away alphabetically again ...

So what is the connection between Benny G and Bob D - aside from their being marvellous talents? I'm intrigued.
Re Modern Times: I think it's some of his best work, ever. Right up there.
The connection? A chap called John Hammond who 'discovered' them both, and signed them to Columbia Records.
He did the same for Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Aretha Franklin, George Benson, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Not a bad haul for one talent scout. :)
Re, Modern Times: Yes, you're right. Can't quite work out though why he takes the writing credit for the likes of Rollin'& Tumblin'?
