The Landmark has been around for a long time. I remember being at Syracuse University in 1986 and seeing Joe Jackson there.

Byron Bay has been on my bucket list for a decade now. If I had known Elvis was playing the festival before now I would have thought about going.

Thanks, Teresa. The more I read about it the less excited I get. However, if I were to go I would not do the camping bit. I would get a B&B or a hotel near the campgrounds. I have never been to London so I might make Glastonbury for one day and do other stuff.

I, too, think Juliet Letters is great. You should search out Elvis' collaboration with Anne Sofie Von Otter.. It's got some good tracks on it.

As I was making my corned beef sandwich. Bama Lama Bama Loo came over my earbuds. I decided to listen to the whole album. I consider it one of his best.

I have been to five New Orleans Jazzfest and it is the best, but I have never been to London and been thinking of going to Glastonbury. At first I was excited about going, but I have read some blogs and they say it can get disgusting with all the walking, carrying your gear, and five days without sh...

The first weekend of JazzFest has ended and it was great! It is always a good time no matter who is playing. You have local brass, funk, Cajun, and rock bands playing. There are big name national acts, too If you don’t like one type of music you just move onto another. The Who and Chili Peppers were...

The cubes have come out today. The cubes are the times all the artist are performing. Elvis and the Imposters are on stage at the same time The Black Crowes are on the main stage, Busta Rhymes on the Congo stage, and Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes in the Blues tent.

I may have to miss Elvis this time. The Who and Randy Newman is weekend one while Elvis is weekend two.

Mr. Wein has died at the age of 95.

I know there are some Nick fans here - or there were at some point. Here is Lizz Wright's jazz infused version of 'River Man'.

I pulled up the soundtrack listing of ‘The Chair’. If Sandra is picking the tracks kudos to her.

Cheers, Top

‘The Chair’ stars Sandra Oh. I don’t know if Sandra had any say in picking King Of America to end the show, but there is a YouTube video out there with Sandra dancing up on stage while Elvis plays during his Spinning Wheel concert.

Edit: She is an Executive Producer of the show.

Elvis and Imposters play Oct 16. Elvis also will be a part of tribute to Dave Bartholomew on the 15th.

Rounder has many great artists on it. There are a few New Orleans based musicians on it.

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is scheduled to begin October 8. What is the chance Elvis will play?
