He was obviously sick, walked with a cane, needed help getting on stage, and his wife sat there on the stage with him for the entire set. I think he even had an oxygen tank nearby in case he needed it. But he still played like a demon!

Comment on Looking for Eagles-style rock recommendations in ~music

As for newer bands, this is really not in my wheelhouse. But maybe try Roddie Romero, Anders Osborne, Eric Lindell, Luke Winslow King, or Jason Isbell. None of these are really a perfect match but they're at least in the same ballpark.
You might also enjoy a singer-songwriter I sometimes play with, the Reverend John Delore. Everything he does has that '70s Americana influence. Here's one I played on. And here's another that I'm not on but I dig like crazy.

After a long break the Big Dig is back with a survey of the music behind the iconic jazz photo from 1958, "A Great Day In Harlem." Every song includes at least one musician who appeared in the photo. With great trad jazz, swing, bebop, cool jazz and hard bop, this episode really cooks! Including tracks from Gene Krupa, Lester Young, Charles Mingus, Horace Silver, Gerry Mulligan and much more.
Special thanks to /u/cfabbro for prodding me to get this finished.

I need to do some editing and re-recording to make it sound more like a radio show and less like a history lecture. Maybe soon. No promises.

Comment on I Found the Best Burger Place in America. And Then I Killed It. in ~food
boredop Link The author reckons with the effects of his piece which anointed a small family-owned restaurant as the home of the Best Burger In America.

Traffic from food tourists led to increased wait times, declines in service and extra attention from the local health department, all leading to a decision to close the place down.

Lately the sounds of typing and mouse clicks have been driving me bonkers. I recently moved to a new area of my office which is much quieter than where I was previously. Now there's nothing to drown out the keyboard clacking and mouse clicks all around me and it's making me crazy.
And yes, the chewing thing also. Sometimes I'll put on some music while my gf and I eat dinner just to give my brain some other sounds to concentrate on.
