I was drinking my first cup and cruising the web, reading the news as is the routine and, I was listening to the Jazz Guitar channel at Accuradio which, is pretty good, by the way. One song caught my ear and I had to check who it was. Don’t know why but, I was a little surprised-Roy Clark and Joe Pass. I didn’t realize that these guys made a record. They did, “Roy Clark & Joe Pass Play Hank Williams”. The link there is to CDBaby. Amazon has another version, a “re-issue”, that….
1. Doesn’t even have Joe on the cover!!?? and, 2. Some of the reviewers were complaining about because a couple of tunes were left off. So, I’ll pimp the CDBaby version. Even though Derek, the owner of CDBaby, is hitchhiking across Asia or something and gleefully recommends a hands off approach to running a company and, even though he’s made enough money from selling CDs and fees from indie artists to do just that and, even though he told me that the best solution to the problem of excessive micro-purchase fees that credit card processors tack on to music downloads was, to give the music away, I’ll still pimp for CDBaby.
Here you go, check out Roy Clark and Joe Pass on “I’ll Never Get Out of this World Alive”. Oh yeah, the other thing I didn’t know was that this was Joe’s last release.
As always….just hit pause on the music player over there, to your left, on the sidebar when playing the YouTube.

Hey that reminds me; what ever happened to the Les Paul/Chet Atkins tape you borrowed?

And it sounds like Derek is as cool as Doyle… I’m with you and the curmudgeons… CDBaby it is!! Can I get a WooHoo from the T center?? You too Jd’A, Dave and all — set a base camp up on CDBaby.
[This utube is truly spectacular. I'm trying to figure out how to put it in my MSN Media files.]

See, there you go, right there. You have the pick I gave to Marinell. See, I was feeling guilty about it. Even lost sleep over it a few times. Not anymore baby. That’s all behind me now. Today is Independence Day.
