does Stefanik look so weak that she's attracting random competition?

Second, by Stephen Vitiello, Brendan Canty, Hahn Rowe 9 track album

there's a lot of guitar, and a lot of not-guitar, on this album, and it's not always obvious which parts of the arrangements originated as guitars

Andy Moor's playing here concurrently sounds everything like his playing and nothing like a guitar

it's confusing to reconcile this with polls that show conventional candidates within four points in dark-red TN-07.

I'm trusting Wikipedia here, which seems likely (but far from certain) to be correct.

The Internet says that the Hohner Pianet, which was used on "You Like Me Too Much" was invented in 1962. I'm curious if this Richie Barrett song uses one of the first Pianets, or if that's a Wurlitzer (first models date from 1954).

The excellent biography of Rev Gary Davis discusses how Jorma learned from one of his first students, and Quah includes a cover of "I Am the Light of This World", so I'm unsurprised (and happy) to see Harlem Street Singer here.

Disraeli Gears is my favorite. And Layla is definitely the last time he had a good guitar tone!

I remain mostly fond of Clapton up through Derek + the Dominos. Unfortunately, there are 1 3/4 CDs to go...
