I have yet to experience great Mexican food in San Francisco, although I don't doubt that Tippy and others have had that pleasure.

In this case, "unfortunate" is a matter of taste. I am certainlty VERY happy that it was recorded.

That is still quite nice. 1998-2003 were vintage years at Jazz Corner: Reynolds, DEEP, Nags, Brooksie, Conan, etc. I hope that it doesn't disappear. It would be nice to save it.
