An Unearthed Gem
Hello little crackers...
So I was digging through the racks at Streetside Records the other day and made a discovery that has me so excited I had to check in real quick and let everyone know about it.
For a mere $8.95 plus tax I picked up the double disc of T-Bone Walker's complete Imperial Sessions 1950-54. It is 52 tracks of pure bliss.
If you don't recognize the name you should know T-Bone was the King of Texas Swing Blues. He is generally recognized to be the first bluesman to use an amped acoustic guitar and the first to record electric blues.
No less than B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughn (pre-death one presumes) have cited T-Bone as a principal influence in their music.
So there you go. I now challenge each of you to go to your nearest record store and find a treasure of your own.

JeffRey,
Two things:
1) Your blog here needs more updating.
2) Let's get ourselves some drinks sometime before the start of school.
