And then it was December...

Funny how time slips away...deep in the holiday season, it's post as one can, and here, for your general amusement, is the one & only Buddy Rich, sweet talking his band as only he could...

On the other extreme, some hardy soul went to the trouble to cobble together stage chatter from various shows of the DC underground stalwarts, Fugazi. Ah sweet nostalgia...it always seemed like a weird dichotomy that a band capable of such prodigious noise & energy would willfully sabotage the pacing of their shows to keep a (relatively) violence free atmosphere, and it is missed. Also, while the music can come off as dour, a great sense of humor reveals itself onstage. All in all, a welcome blast from the past.
