A somewhat forgotten footnote these days, string bands in their time were an indispensable part of rural community life, and these bands were particularly suited for live shows, rattling off reels, quicksteps, and waltzes for dances where the only rule was to move your feet. Within that framework, however, there was room for variety, including [...]

I'll grant that Oliver has pitched well for two years, but what the hell was he doing taking Lackey out after 104 pitches? You'll have to take my word that this was a first guess, but wow.

Bob Dylan Christmas in the Heart Columbia Records Strictly speaking, Bob Dylan is singing about Jesus again. But "Christmas in the Heart," the enigmatic one's first-ever holiday-themed release, is less a reprise of Mr. Dylan's Christian era than it is an extension of his work as host of the satellite-radio program "Theme Time Radio Hour." Like the great music historian Elijah Wald...
