"I wrote 'Jesus Was A Capricorn (Owed To John Prine)' because I was so influenced by John. When I heard his songs I felt like his writing had kicked me into doing it. You take things from all over the place, though you don’t always admit it! I was really influenced by Roger Miller, Shel Silverstein and Mickey Newbury. Everybody you admire influences you somehow in your art."

@SSS HateHto beba nnoodge but you shouldn't play Judy Garland on a crank Victrola. The later era shellac is not designed to stand up to weight of the reproducer

Check out the mind-blowing held note at the end of this version of "St. Louis Blues"--it's a humdinger.

It warms the cockles of my heart to see how much love this old music is getting. Bravo, Joe! I hope somebody is driving down the turnpike scanning the dial right now and goes "Wow! What IS this?"
