Are there any Eva Cassidy fans in the house? The complete recordings from Live at Blues Alley have been released in a 2 disk set. Sounds like a killer set to me.

Samples: Eva Cassidy - Nightbird

Yeah, met up with a sprinkler buddy & my friend-computer builder, speaker builder, audio buddy, for an annual couple of tiples to celebrate the season & wish each other a Prosperous New Year.

It was a couple of 12 yr Macallans on the rocks here (with a glass of water on the side)

Have a great weekend Mr. Cactus
