Please post those locations for his books.......you know...the ones you can actually hold and smell and put in a bookcase. I treasure real books. I do not do e-books or any of the other formats / trappings of current society. Thanks and thank your guest.

Thanks Neil. I don't know if any local bookstores have them (they can probably order them, though) but they are available on Amazon and most other online booksellers.

Wow thanks, Mike. It has been so long since I have listened to Rickie Lee Jones. Think I told you I lost my vinyl collection in an uninsured flood. She was a regular play in my home.. Looking forward to the Bobby Darrin track; huge fan !!

I really like Rickie Lee Jones' version of Reason to Believe. Bobby Darin did several Tim Hardin songs and really sounds like Hardin on them.

Very instructive and educational first part. Will definitely investigate David's series. And then, Tim Hardin - such a wonderful songwriter and such a tortured person. He left a true legacy of songs and recordings. All of the covers were just perfect. Looking forward to next week's show.
