Howdy,

Lots of additions to the music library this week. The big find was a rare
recording of a live show done in Houston in 1961 headlined by Johnny Cash
but featuring a then-up-and-coming guy by the name of Roger Miller! Great
show! I'll be working in tracks from this show into rotation over the next
few weeks.

I've been in traveling in Asia this week for my day job and managed to carve
out a couple of days of vacation in Tokyo. Of course I've been prowling
through every record store I can find. So far I've only found new music
stores and I'm still looking for a used store. But it's been interesting to
see what they are and aren't selling on the twangy front. I've seen several
modern folk types on the sheves and some soul acts such as Ben Harper and
the Innocent Criminals. The pleasant surprise is that Rockabilly is fairly
popular and my big find today awas Brian Setzer's released called 13, in a
prominent end-cap display with a hand written recommendation sign next two
it obviously written by a store employee. Pretty impressive considering that
the CD came out in 2006. I have to say though that it distresses me to see
how big an influence rap still is on the pop culture here. Sigh.

As always, the full rotation is
