The list of performers that should display an Amazon link if you hover the mouse over doesn't seem to have worked - though earlier references (eg Pete Morton) DO work, so it's difficult to know why these new listings don't work.

Hello again!
Last post 2004! Goodness!
Well, I'm back and aim to develop this blog, along with all my others, including JazzNews.
A report on Cropred 2007 soon, plus a review of the reissue Liege and Lief CD with bonus CD, and all the folk that fits.
Don't forget my "Greatest Hits" show at Bradford's National Media Museum on Saturday September 15, 8pm, when I'll be presenting (among others) a clip of Bob Dylan's very first electric gig, with the Butterfield Blues Band.
Hope to see you there.
