SugarMegs SugarGems: Dead People & Jews

It’s been a good long while since we’ve gone rummaging through the Internet’s greatest bargain bin: the SugarMegs archives. So while my plate remains full with tasks related my daytime salaried position (read: piss off, freeloaders!), hopefully I can trust you fine folks to play quietly in the corner until things subside. The five gems below should occupy your time quite nicely, if you’ll allow…

• Mike Bloomfield Band (w/ Al Kooper) — 3/31/74 — NYC, NY
• Rick Danko & Paul Butterfield — 12/13/79 — Boulder, CO
• Stevie Ray Vaughan — 7/4/81 — Kansas City, MO
• Thelonious Monk Quartet — 3/20/66 — Paris, France
• Silver Jews — 3/11/06 — The Earl in Atlanta, GA

And if these five ain’t your cup of tea, you can always take a musical time out and pay closer attention to your evaporating portfolio. We got the Recession Blues.
