Harmony Park
This is irritating as hell, the yuppies trying clap along with a improvised jazz piece. They couldn't clap on the backbeat on a bet. Why on God's green earth would they have the balls to think they know where Victor Wooten wants to go with this piece. All they can do is distract him and screw things up. He ranted.

Raul Malo
This one was a tough call because there is also a version of Indian Love Call. (You may have heard Raul singing this as you filed out of the Apollo movie)

A mandolin?
It's amazing that an old Robert Johnson tune written 75 years ago, played virtually note for note, is still fresh.

Good Morning America
ABC's Good Morning America was broadcasting from Albert Lea this morning, covering our Blue Zone community health and exercise programs, which promote quality of life and longevity. Ms. Lorna is a walk group leader and managed to get on nation television. We're hoping this will open doors and she will finally be discovered and become a movie star... or at least a commercial spokesperson promoting sturdy walking shoes or baggy, comfy walking shorts.

Kenny Van Hummel Survives Again!
"I was left by the bunch on the first climb today but I stayed at my own pace and kept on going. I had to take some pretty big risks on the descent to limit my losses but I can do that. I can go downhill very fast when I have to. I can gain two minutes back, no problem," Van Hummel said with a grin, after making the cut yet again.
"On the flat part after the first climb the terrain was up and down and of course the second climb was also hard, but I could hold the speed a little bit. Once I got to the top I knew that I would make it to the finish in time."
Van Hummel has received attention from the press in this year's Tour for his style of riding, but he's doing more than just surviving, often competing in the sprints, with several top 10 places to his name already. "I just do my job," Van Hummel said when asked about the media attention he has received.
"There are some better climbers than me in the race," Van Hummel joked. "I'm a sprinter and generally riders like me tend to struggle in the mountains. In the Pyrenees I had a few guys with me but they've all gone home now."

Old Five and Dimers Like Me
If it wasn't for BJS's songs, you wouldn't know Waylon Jenning's name. I still much prefer the BJS version. Too bad you can't hear it. Life is a series of day to day compromises:
