Would you mind sharing that hilarious link with us, Clint?

Glad you enjoyed it, Jimmy. That's pretty special stuff, all right.

I sent an e-mail to our friend, Squaredancecalling Steve, and got a response this morning. He thanked me for the invitation, but said that he was having (to paraphrase) a wonderful but hectic summer, so couldn't participate until (possibly) this fall.

Thanks a million for that clip, Joe! Man, I wasn't hip to this project, and it's worthy of our attention, without question.

What a lineup of flutists, and what a sterling rhythm section. The arrangers are 1st rate, too.

I may join you and pick this up myself.

Thanks for the link, BT!

Sweet.

I hope the gig went well and that you had a great turnout, Joe. That is a good cause, indeed.

You're welcome, tippy. I think you'd like it here.

Some of you already know that we've had record-breaking temps this summer all over Alaska. Anchorage just broke another record, enjoying 38 days where the temp was over 70°, including the last 14 consecutive days. Don't laugh at this, please. It's a big deal, especially after last summer's laughable...

Not to pick nits, but it's Smoked Salmon Vodka, Clint.

Will do, Walto.

I plan to send Steve an e-mail in the next few days.

Another couple of shots from my Summer Mini-Vacation in our front yard. We've broken records for the most consecutive days above 70° ... 38, with 14 consecutive days above that mark. It's been a fantastic summer, but we have some clouds predicted to roll in this weekend and wipe the smile off our fa...

I'm with you on both Blanchard and Jarrett, Peter.

I had a chance to meet and speak with Terence a few years ago, and found him engaging, patient and totally approachable. It was a gas!

I'm still waiting for my chance to hear Keith in a live setting and monitor the grunt quotient.

I realize I am not impartial...but best U.S. made Vodka is distilled in Austin. Tito's, BABY! Did you say that having already tasted Permafrost Vodka? ;) OK... :? Let me just say that I love Salmon. Raw, smoked, fully cooked, you name the game. And I like vodka. Um... But... I'm with you, Scott. Th...

I didn't know it, but Guy Clark visited Alaska in 2003 and played at Alice's Chamgagne Palace in beautiful Homer, south of Anchorage on Kachemak Bay. The following video is from that October 2003 performance. There are more at YouTube.

Permafrost Vodka . http://www.alaskadistillery.com/sites/default/files/permafrost.png Bet you won't see this anywhere else. ;) http://www.alaskadistillery.com/sites/default/files/salmon.png This distillery has a very interesting offering...

Thanks for the listings, fellas!

Man, what a list! Thanks for the update, Fred.

There are several events on that list which Steve Reynolds will be salivating about if he sees it.

Be glad that's nowhere near Anaktuvuk Pass, Pat!
