Wow great tunes. Just turned radio on in time for your intro to Bruce - my fave album of his. We're the same age -when this album came out i was working my 1st job at a small radio stn in BC and he played Kimberly with Hugh Marsh. I've always thought Loner is the most bittersweet love song ever. Love Bill Frisell too : ]

Ha... I had to laugh Anne as I was reading your note about the quiet and reflective pieces I was spinning as I was launching into Hard Plains Drifter by Bill Frisell. Glad to see that your up for this crazy ride as well. I don't know of any piece that better illuminates his ability to play in so many styles and still create something cohesive... well sort of. I will always recall when he played the Ottawa Jazz Festival in 1989 and the band came back for an encore and the audience screamed for Hard Plains Drifter. Bill was tickled by the overwhelming call for this piece ... he shrugged and then the band burned through an explosive version of it that ended in some insane groovy jam. A musical highlight of my life!! Enjoy
