That album is strictly in a St. Louis groove, they sound St. Louis local.

Out of all of the many years that I've lived, there are only "moments" that make it all worthwhile, and I wish I could live in a cycle that would repeat those moments over and over; moments trapped in time.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP6m...

Acman, your submission that impressed me the most was Regina Carter "Day Dreaming On The Niger", which is a very interesting river in West Africa. I could imagine day dreaming while floating down that river."Miners Child" from Southern Comfort wa...
