  1. That's not their problem; that's your's.
  2. Oh no, totally not - he died 11 years ago or so.
  3. Probably influenced more guitar players than can be counted on a few hands and feet. In celebration of his 100th birthday, the album I Am a Pilgrim was recorded, with 15 artists paying their tribute by covering one of Watson's songs. Last night, a few of those artists, along with Doc's former manager Mitch Greenhill, got together at the Rubin Museum, to talk about Doc, and to play songs from the tribute album. Needless to say, it was pretty great. Yasmin Williams, sitting between Bill Frisell and Steve Earle, is holding and playing one of Doc's guitars. To the right of Bill are Matthew Stevens and Mitch Greenhill. The interviewer, NPR's John Schaefer, is to the far right. A little bit about Mitch Greenhill: Yeah, it was pretty great. A little taste of Doc: A couple of these people will be at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in San Francisco at the end of the month.
  4. You know what's great about the record? You don't have to buy it. Or listen to it. Or view the videos. I wonder if someone held a gun to Sydney's head to be in the video?
  5. You know, if people were smart, they would just subscribe to this.
  6. And it's not as if the subscription price is going down any time soon! We're doomed.
  7. Yes - they do have a couple of different cured hams from Spain, France and Italy, but none from country ham country.
  8. At Essex Market, they do have those nice, smaller salamis from Fra' Mani...but no Broadbent, unfortunately 😋 .
  9. Can't these all be bought online? (I think it's Broadbent).

    Madrid

    And then maybe @Orik can restore some of the good stuff previously posted re: Madrid and Paris? Unless, of course, Ori's busy! In any event, is there a way to find the history somewhere else anywhere in these funny tubes called the www?
  11. As I said to friends, we had no service issues whatsoever - but we sat at the bar.
  12. If you saw ther McCaffrey scamper... Then you saw the receivers Brandon Aiyuk and RayRay McCloud take out a few DBs. And if you're an old 49ers' fan, then it might have brought back some memories of John Taylor's two TD catches, with Jerry Rice blocking... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbvmTHzjtG4 (you'll have to click, it won't embed). On the second of the TDs, Jerry basically blocks for 95 yards, taking out countless DBs along the way. It was also great cause it was against the Rams on a MNF game.
  13. I believe the butter lettuce in the Butter Lettuce Salad would be from Satur Farms, even though it might taste as if it's from Saturn.

    You slept through the game where Madison got broken at love, with 3 double faults = choke.

    That was your second mistake.
  16. Jeez - if Brock wins a super bowl this year, not only will I be floored, but he'll be worth half a billion.
  17. This ought to be fun, but is Arverne on the way to Far Rockaway...or to the Rockaways? And my favorite Forever Jerk has their big set up on Arverne Blvd. and B. 62nd St.

    Oy (I do think we once had a discussion about what "choke" means in sports. maybe last night was the definition?).
  19. How about that Joe Burrows????!!!!
  20. I find that there are more important things for me to be aggravated about. No one is telling you to look at that video, or buy that record. And since when have attempts to conceal our physical bodies all of a sudden become so pathetic? People have been doing that since the beginning of time. Maybe you haven't noticed tattoos?
  21. If that gets you "pretty angry," you gotta learn to:

    US Open 2023

    I seem to be seeing many of the matches (Coco earlier this afternoon, Novak/Fritz now) via youtube tv...of course, since SNY dropped youtube TV (or vice-versa, ya never know), I can't watch the mets since the end of June. Which actuallyt turned out to be a good thing this year...I'll drop youtube tv after football season.

    They all seem to be real good. Johnny Mac, on his (in my opinion, most welcome) return today after a bout of covid, actually started to mention the cluster fuck vis-a-vis Disney/Charter you refer to; and then caught himself and kinda stopped. FWIW, and to quote @Sneakeater, all these services can bite me.
