December 2, 2016 Mitch

When going through my album collection, rarely does “The Last Waltz” get pulled out for a spin. It’s almost taken for granted as a classic album and the spectacle that it was. So before the legendary evening of Saturday, November 26, 2016, I decided to give it a listen for the 500th time. I felt… Read More
