There are some opportunities in St. Louis-and I haven’t even taken advantage of those. But (hits self in the head) just realized that with all of those nights on the road- in cool places (like San Francisco, Los Angeles, DC, San Diego, Chicago….)

Oh my.. I need to buy this album. Imagine James Earle Jones—singing in Portugese. Well maybe his voice is not quite that low. Very rich. Check this guy out I think the link is still on Http://www.npr.org
