Afternoon folks!
This week there are two solid blues albums one from harmonica player and singer Little Junior Parker and one from Koko Taylor, there's a great zydeco album from Buckwheat Zydeco and in the blues-rock category is an album from the Butterfield Blues Band. For some diversity this week there's a bluegrass album from Jimmy Martin and a great rock and roll album from The Beat Farmers.
Enjoy and have a great weekend!

I didn't do any shopping or casual search for prices of staples, other than gas, which did not increase, and milk, which did not increase. Nonetheless, inflation is reported to be steadily on the rise. Tough times ahead, be as prepared for it as possible.
Happy Friday everyone. I hope everybody is doing well. Post any photos, memes, or music you like.

These pieces of art were on display at the Good Guys car show last weekend at the Del Mar fairgrounds.
