Respect your elders





Here are two examples of people paying respect to their musical elders.

If people doubted the Everly Brothers influence in todays music just listen to this album. Bet most people would not have figured these two doing this album.

The we have Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan singing the classic hit by Peter, Paul and Mary.
Of course this was put together by T. Bone Burnett who has an amazing way of putting current musicians together with classic music from our American past.

Speaking of music I went to an antique store yesterday looking for something to put on Ebay.
I ended up buying two things. One was a large package of items from the Tom Jones Fan Club.
It included a 45 recorded for the fan club, fan club pins, press photos, a little Tom Jones puzzle, a couple calendars, and postcards for album releases. All for a whopping $3.

The second thing I bought was a bag with 285 assorted snapshots of Tom Jones. Some are of him in concert and the others are assorted casual shots. From what I can tell these were taken by someone connected to his assorted fan clubs. They are actual pictures, not press shots or anything like that.
One is autographed. This was also a whopping $3.

I know I can a least get my money back.
