The Winter Slow Down


Well, if you live anywhere in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, chances are your life came to complete halt this weekend as temperatures hovered around -10 degrees with wind chills around -30. I decided to take shelter from the storm and hide out in the Dylan exhibit at the Weisman Art Museum. After getting through about half of it (before the museum closed), I came across some really intriguing things - my favorite being a recording of young Dylan and his friend playing guitar and piano in his parent's living room. There's tons of pictures as well as a stash of fun facts hidden throughout the exhibit that will draw attention to even the most devoted fans. Since the weather was perfect for a nice walk, I headed over to 14th Ave. and 4th St. Here is picture of an alley just west of that intersection. One of the four windows shown belonged to Dylan's old apartment.

Fairly soon I should have audio up from most if not all the past shows. I will also provide playlist info so you can track down all the things you've heard.

One last thing. I'd like to make a correction regarding last week's show. I stated that both Bay Area Funk compilations were released on Ubiquity. However, they were released on Luv 'N Haight, a subset of Ubiquity. I mentioned this correctly in a previous post, but did not during the airing of the show (Andrew was quick to correct me!).

I think you should play more contemporary, regional jazz, such as Mark Davis.
