FINALLY making a systematic effort to go through 500+ CD's & rip everything. It's been interesting -- I thought I had 9/10ths of my CD collection ripped, but it's maybe barely 2/3ds. Completing lots of incomplete albums from back when I didn't have a big enough hard drive. I've also culled about 30 clunkers, so far.

@Devils_Rancher tonight I only made it through J-K. This is slow going, but I now have 5 Robert Earl Keen albums in iTunes instead of 2 so that’s a win.

@DistroJunkie Joe Ely used to just tear that one up live when Grissom was in his band.

@Devils_Rancher
Was that the guy that played guitar on the Lord of the Highway album?

@DistroJunkie I think so? He was in John Mellencamp’s band for several years after Ely. He was in Storyville after ha came back to Austin. Monster player.

@Devils_Rancher
Yep, that's him. Mellencamp stole him from Ely. I loved his sound and Lord of the Highway is my favorite Ely album. Probably because of it.
