What are you listening to?

[Laffitupfzbl]

Listening to the Ed and Judy Howard Band, one of my guys' bands. Ed is having health problems, so thinking of him tonight. Health insurance is a major issue for a lot of working musicians. I think Ed's old enough to have some retirement type benefits, which is good. Several years ago, he would have been in real trouble. Stinky.

Here they are a local steel guitar convention. Ed is the singer, his lovely wife Judy on keyboard. Jerry Erickson is the steel guitar guru, also known as Muttonchops. Troy LaHood on drums. My guy, Jimmer, on sax and his best friend, Tom Stoner, on trumpet. They are known as the Pawn Shop horns and play with multiple bands together. Another awesome guy at the convention was Terry Crisp, if you care to youtube him. Great tunes by him. This is Mexicali Blues, a Dead song, I think?
