What I'm listening to today

Using our new streaming and download music service over the past month has me back in the habit of listening to music while working. Last week I finished downloading an album for Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, a prolific blues guitar and fiddle player from Texas. I think the album was simply titled "Live in Concert". I saw him play once in Houston in 1999 or 2000 when he must have been around 70 years old. He sat down in his chair on stage, lit his pipe, and proceeded to tear through a jump blues set with such energy and enthusiasm I still get chills thinking about it today!

Today though, I've gone down a classic bluegrass path, listening to 'Tis Sweet To Be Remembered: The Essential Flatt & Scruggs.
