In keeping with the spirit of the holiday, here’s a list of stuff I’m glad I don’t have to live without:
1) The Fillmore Auditorium – One of my favorite rooms in the whole wide world.
2) Jimi Hendrix on guitar – Has anyone else ever come close? I think not…
3) M. Ward’s croak - One of the greatest instruments in the world.
4) John Phillips’ solo album – The definition of a lost gem. Sounds fresher today than the day it dropped.
5) Hank Mobley on sax – Who’s underrated? Hank’s underrated.
6) Mike Watt’s philosophy – The ex-Minutemen bassist’s enthusiastic musings on doing-it-yourself were a prime inspiration for me to start writing about music.
7) The Great American Music Hall – Another gorgeous room, and an amazing place to see a concert.
8) My Uncle Henry – He’s passed along nearly 2000 primo albums over the last couple of years. Huge props for Henry!
9) Andres Segovia - A different kind of guitar genius, but a genius nonetheless.
10) The P - My love, my life, my wife…

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
