So happy to hear about your move to Austin, Ted! Sounds like the perfect musical environment for you! And wow...this "selection" is such a fun goodie bag! I have the foghorn video playing as I write this. So atmospheric.

Oh, dear. I've been a passionate jazz lover since I was 13, but my taste runs heavily towards post-bop and free jazz. The more dissonant, the better.

You'll do well in Austin, music permeates pretty much every aspect of Texas life. Just either stay inside during the summer, or plan a daily visit to Barton, because every summer here is a test of the will to live.

I like your take on Dylan turning 80. You mention an important point about the lack of a viable counter culture embodied in the music and other art forms of these times. Our son lives in the Round Rock area of Austin and teaches guitar.
