“Nick of Time” is pretty much my theme song. Or will be, once I take care of that “finding love” part.
top 10
Blind Boys of Alabama
All I know is, if I could sing like that, I might pick a group name that focused on my voice. Just sayin’.
Bill Laswell
Not Bill Frisell. Also, not someone I especially like (which at least gives him something in common with Bill Frisell).
Bill Frisell
About a year ago, Marcia and I went to see Ron Carter—a show that was disappointingly short and unexciting. Bill Frisell, who I also think is unexciting, has a song called “Ron Carter.” Coincidence? I think not.
Bill Evans
My friends often lovingly and supportively make suggestions for playlists. I believe Marcia’s exact words were: “If you don’t give Bill Evans a list, I’ll never speak to you again.” So … Bill Evans.
Big Mama Thornton
No offense to my fellow dudes, but if Big Mama Thornton took on Big Joe Turner, I’d put my money on Wille Mae every time.
Big Joe Turner
Ben Folds
You know the whole John Hiatt/John Prine thing? 90s version: Ben Folds and Ben Harper.
Bela Fleck
On the other hand, with titles like “Sex in a Pan,” “The Sinister Minister,” and “Flight of the Cosmic Hippo,” I bet Bela Fleck really is fun on a date. (P.S.: That line makes a lot more sense if you read yesterday’s post.)
