Re: Book promo event with Rosanne Cash , Brooklyn, Nov. 10 '15

Great night, so much better than nYPL because of Rosanne and their interaction. Building on the similarities of musician fathers, spouses, etc really offered commonalities for insights. As did the questions from friends Rosanne posed Handled the tributes to AT wonderfully with the ability to move to...

Re: RIP ALLEN TOUSSAINT

AT was a great musician and a better person, so generous with his time and talent, full of respect and love for everyone What a pleasure to see 20+ shows at Joe's Pub in NYC and numerous others in recent years. When talking with him many times and places, he was unfailingly patient and appreciative ...

Re: Book promo, New York 16 October 2015 - 'live stream' online tonight

I liked EC's comment to the effect of the book is a story, not a reference document and that's why there is no index and it's not chronological

(Then again, there may be a deluxe reference 2nd edition in chronological order with index waiting in the wings????)

Re: Anyone know if recordings exist

I was lucky enough to be at both of the shows at the root of this thread. It'd surprise me if something doesn't exist on each For the numbers show, it was on a screen for the overflow crowd at the bar. So maybe captured on the way? At the phjb show I sat next to someone who was professionally filmin...

Re: Terry Staunton remembers his encounters with Elvis

I agree that he must have been at a different Tower of London show. So did EC when I mentioned it as a "miss" and he apologized for it

Re: west palm beach August 12th

For me the tours with the tko and crescent city horns were some of the best and most memorable shows

There is always the hot as a pistol DVD, even though it's only most of the show!

Re: Elvis & The Imposters play Holmdel, NJ, August 1 2015

Will be attending! Hoping it's sweet although short - like the police opener at the same venue a few years back

That was also on the day the Haskell was run nearby and with the recent triple crown winner running make sure you don't spend the show time stuck on the parkway

Re: EC/Imposters Caesars AC Sat, Mar 8 2014 09:00 P

90 minutes on the button, just like the casino shows always are

One song to the next and almost no talk between songs. Band and voice were in good form

Highlights for me were girls talk, secondary modern, red shoes and all of the stuff from WUG

Hope it won't be too long to see them together again
