Merle, Waylon, Willie, George, Hank, etc... you mention those names today and nobody knows who they were. Don't get me wrong, I like some modern country music. Huge fan of Garth Brooks, the former Brooks and Dunn, etc.. back in the 90's. But those aforementioned names were staples on the old am/fm radio sitting in my mom's kitchen back in the day. Good memories.
Is there a what you listening to thread on buzz?
PA-PLAYA Damn man, Ambrosia? Really? Awesome recordings!
PA-PLAYA Hard for me to hear this song...
Currently... like right now:
The incomparable Billie Holiday, One of my favs to put on making dinner
One of my favs from 30 years ago. Hard to believe it's been that long!
This seems fitting for The Buzz

Money Is Too Tight To Mention - Simply Red cover by the Hindley Street Country Club
If you have never heard of HSCC they are from So. Australia (Adelaide) with a huge YouTube following.
and Olivia Newton-John's Magic Lead singer Nikki is one of the best voices around.
Shared a few drinks with Simply Red's former lead guitarist, Mark Jaimes, in London back in 2012. He crossed over to the Smooth Jazz genre in the late 2000's and plays lead for the some of the more modern, popular smooth jazz artists touring the local London areas. Seemed like a really down-to-earth guy who just really loves what he does for a living. The following year he noticed me in attendance at this hole-in-the-wall place in Soho and bought me a few beverages. Cool cat, that guy, with a memory like an elephant. My only real claim to brush with fame is rubbing elbows with him on a few occasions.
All those guys have some interesting stories that they'll take to their graves with them. Especially in crazy town Soho!
I was listening to the soundtrack to the movie Wonder Boys.....love it. First to last song. Lots of Bob Dylan (later stuff), but many other artists/songs on that album that I've grown to love.
