Rok, I've known others who don't care for the Hill Country sound.  Not sure what you mean about outside influences, but it's generally a harder-edged music than Delta.  I like it all.  RL's soulful singing and driving rhythm in "See my Jumper..." ...

I had precious few lines that ever worked, but that's life.  They're just ice-breakers - that's when we really had to step up.  It's fun to look back on it all.

Yep I'm ancient and I'm giving out too.  What do I replace it with?  Recommendations are welcomed.

Kenny Wheeler - one of the best ever.  I have no idea if he lamented the lack of notoriety, but I hope it never bothered him.  I strongly doubt it did, as it should be.  Hats off Kenny, well done.

@pjw81563 Late 70s.  Hank Levy (with Stan Kenton's help) had those college kids playing way beyond their years.  Quite an accomplishment.Once every summer, a sweet outdoor concert with a hot big band.  Life was good.  Glad you like it! 
Power Wedge 114 - Voltage Spike Damage
Thanks, I guess it's now an unsafe Power Wedge 112.  ;) I'll start investigating other options ASAP.  The 114 saved the expensive stuff.  That's why we use these things.

All - the confusion over "Glass Bead Games" was my fault.  I was addressing Acman3's link to that specific track, but there was no way for any of you to see that.  So, I was talking about the title track without getting the overall context.  Life ...

Lee Konitz was on fire in "Motion."  It sounds like he didn't need a rhythm section that day.  He was going where he was going, damn the torpedoes.  Yikes.  Great stuff, thanks frogman.
