A day late and a dollar short. I spent last week checking out a lot of music shrines and cities I'd never visited. Caught some great jazz, Charlie Louvin (hopefully not his last show) and some serious honky tonks. Some good stuff going on this week, unfortunately I'm still frantically playing catchup...
