Drove away.
Have you seen La Vie En Rose, the new film about Edith Piaf? I still don't know enough about her career to understand how she wound up recording a Leiber and Stoller song. Here's video footage of Piaf recklessly throwing herself into "L'Homme a la Moto." It's quite odd, and not just because the sound is out of sync. Chris Spedding, on the other hand, seems born to sing the song. It's the single best contribution on this 1993 tribute project. Willie DeVille, Leon Russell, Ivan Lins and Emmylou Harris also appear.

I've been digging the MP3s saxophonist Greg Osby has made available at his site.

I don't want to give away too much, PB, but I might find a nice home for that and dozens of other KC jazz links in the near future. Thanks for the tip.
Spedding's career is remarkable. Is there anymore I really need to add than ask of people to check out his extensive discography? Whew!
