Thanks Blackberry Smoke for spending 1,019 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Run Away from It All. #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/pIuM9cxJGZ

@HammerAndAle Yelp lists y’all as “sports bar” - got tvs and if so will you have the Ole Miss vs Alabama game on?

@aceatkins @JanetMaslin @ThatEricAlper I can say with some certainty that Dire Straits’ “Brothers In Arms” holds the title for 1985-86.

@Music__Mentor After decades of being a fan of the original Allman Brothers line-up, countless listenings to "Live at the Fillmore East" and playing along w/"Whipping Post" I just recently stumbled across a very cool version of it by Gregg Allman on his solo album, "Searching for Simplicity"

@Music__Mentor @RobertDashow Mark told me that during the session neither Fagan or Becker would speak to him directly. They would ask Gary Katz things like "Could you tell him to play..."

@Music__Mentor @blackberrysmoke @tompetty @amandashires Damn! Thnx for the turn on! Love "Let Me Down Easy" They did w/Amanda. Have Charlie Starr lined up for an episode of my Newsweek podcast. Will let y'all know when that drops

@elicranor @aceatkins An amazing guitar player, singer and musician. Besides his own great solo career he played on hundreds of recording sessions as part of the LA Wrecking Crew but could not read a note of music.

@aceatkins I'd be greatly disappointed otherwise, hermano!

Friend, former landlord, fellow tequila lover and generous giver of writing advice, Ace Atkins for the win! Congrats, amigo! The El Luchadore organic 110 proof awaits to be cracked in celebration!

[Ace Atkins @aceatkins]

I don't often talk book business here. But when I do, it's big news. Thrilled to be joining the @WmMorrowBooks roster for two standalone projects I've been wanting to write for a long while!

@CharlesPPierce Was around while Knopfler was writing/recording the soundtrack for "Local Hero" - big fun and an excellent film.
