Commentary:

Good grief -- what a week!

The ice storm lasted well into Monday, after which the temperatures plummeted to near-zero, leaving us pretty much stranded on the hill for three days -- only to be followed by more snow, ice and, finally, rain on Friday. Ugh! Fortunately, we only lost power for a couple of hours -- a minor miracle considering the conditions -- so it was actually a nice stuckation with Liz, cozy and warm in our home.

But, you see, we had other vacation plans for this week. We were supposed to go to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to see Anthony Braxton's residency at the University. Having never seen the man live, I was incredibly disappointed to be unable to get there.

Oh well. What can you do about the weather?

Nothing. I may try to get down for the tail-end of it, anyway. We'll see...

To compensate, I made a Vinyl Community video about Anthony Braxton's Arista recordings:
