When I was living in Port Aransas, TX., I got a phone call from a friend one evening. He told me that Leon Russell was going to be playing in the courtyard of a local restaurant in a few minutes. I thought he was joking, as the population of that town was less than 2000. Of course I hurried over. No entry fee at all, and sure enough Mr. Russell showed up. There were less than 20 people in attendance, and most seemed to care less. I couldn't believe it. I was a big fan, and it was sad to see him in this situation. I heard that shortly after that Leon Russell stopped touring all together. I heard that Elton had quite a time convincing him to record with him. Luckily he persisted, and he eventually won him over. The album was a critical success, which I think did a lot for Leon's self image.

Yola @Webster Hall in NYC last night. She sounded great, but I'm getting too old for standing-room only venues, especially on a weeknight.

Timber Bryan Rahija 2021 https://album.link/i/1568000393 Example: Another new artist. Solo Acoustic Guitar. I decided to share a live track to give an idea of his playing technique. I liked this a lot. The focus on melody over flashy techniques makes it very listenable for an album. There are great musicians out there (I am looking at you candyrat records), that way over use techniques over melody.
