I tried, Sam, I really did...

Hey, I really love that Holloway/ter Linden/Mortensen concert from Copenhagen in 2008. That is sumptuous chamber music!

Sam said...

Still no "SMiLE" joy, eh? Damn, thanks for trying! Yes, that Holloway disc is really nice...perfect for late-night reading.

Hey, Sam - how is that Alex Chilton 1970 record? I was looking at it at the record store today... :)
