Billy Joel, who famously sang he'd rather die young as a sinner than old as a saint, is 73 years old.

My new T-Rex arrived today!

Got me some new solid gold alternative easy action from the Groover!

Here's a preview. Marc Bolan grinding his axe live on "20th Century Boy" (European broadcast version, 2019 release). Steve Curry sounded a little funkier on stage, Mickey Finn's fingers a bit faster.

#introduction #introductions Well, I told myself I wasn't going to sign up on a bunch of instances, but the more I've thought about linernotes.club the more I've realized it's the social media outlet I've been waiting for; any time I'm moved enough by a song/album/band I'm really digging in the moment to post elsewhere, I pretty much get crickets.

I might get crickets here too, but at least I feel like people here "get it."

Musically? Grew up listening to my parents' #beatles, #simonandgarfunkel, #davebrubeck, #herbiemann, and #henrymancini #records, with a dab of #masonwilliams thrown in.

Also grew up listening to my older brother's #1970sRock, which colors my prejudices and preferences to this day. But I've definitely branched out. (See also: @banjo)
