Comment:

A mix for my three brothers We all share a deep enthusiam for and interest in da stuff. We've all had wild adventures at shows, although they didn't go to gigs together much. Most of the choices are for old times' sake, but I did put on a few new things. My brother David hitchhiked from Santa Cruz to San Francisco to see Bruce Springsteen at Winterland (at my insistence) and saw one of the best shows of our lives. David turned me on to Boz Scaggs and Ellen McIlwaine and maybe Duke Robillard. Carl, the younger one, and I have regular chats about music; we saw Chris Gaffney tear up the place at a blues club in Long Beach. He was the author of the hilarious comments I sent around to the splitters about Los Lobos. He introduced me to Bill Frisell. Michael, the oldest one, dragged me around when I was still in high school. I clearly remember getting stoned and listening the Garcia album the day it came out. He took me to see my second Grateful Dead concert at El Monte Legion Stadium. Route 66 was a road we travelled as children with our parents. Dave Alvin, Chris Gaffney, and Los Lobos are our homies. Is that too much information?

Wish my sister had taken the bait when I tried to turn her on to punk rock; when I failed I began to realise we had nothing in common whatsoever(parents not withstanding) Anyway, this is a terrific mix Sally, lucky bros you've got.
