| Sam Ash closing I’ve never lived near a Sam Ash but G.C. never impressed me much. Limited inventory and poor customer service have been the norm, in my experience. I once went into my local store and told them I was shopping for a short-scale electric. The respon... | |

| Best Covers @immatthewj Seen her live? I wish ! Saw EmmyLou in '76, though, with the original Hot Band. That was special. | |
| Best Covers @immatthewj My introduction to her was "Car Wheels..." I don't recall whether I bought the "white album" before or after having seen the ACL broadcast. I have the 2CD version that includes live performances. These two remain my favorite L. Wi... | |
