Well Well Well. A tall order indeed but here at IBA I aim to please, especially on the musical front, so though you may think it not possible here they are, doing one of the Greatest Country tunes ever written.
Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Willie Nelson
Crazy

Yeah, that's a great one. It was for Willie's 70th birthday bash. Diana and Elvis weren't married yet. I was still hoping!
Elvis messes up the lyrics of the chorus! Listen carefully. He sings I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying, instead of al revez, iirc. I've watched this video much. It always leaves me wistful.
I love it when Diana sings: I knew, you'd love me as long as you wanted, then someday, you'd leave me for somebody new:)
I remember watching it the night it premiered on tv. I couldn't believe the luck, Willie and Elvis! And Elvis looked marvelous!
Wow, what a trio.
It's hard to believe Willie Nelson is in his 70's.
Pastorius,
You the man. I go to the dentist, come back and there's so much stuff on this blog, I don't think I can read it all and still hit up my usual haunts.
Does your site take donations? You do a hell of a job. I'm kind of partial to Glen over at TROP, but I'm in love with all you guys, so where's the tip jar? :)
Glen at TROP is great.
Thanks for the offer of money, but I don't think we want to go there. Next thing you know, me and Midnight Rider would be like Paul McCartney and John Lennon. I already have an Asian wife, so you can see where that would lead.
;-)
Yeah, Barack Obama would be buying the rights to all our material. . .
Hehehaha,
Well keep up the good work dudes. Pretty amazing pace you keep here. I stumbled upon your blog while doing a little research on Fareed Zakaria a while back. The double whammy of him followed by Ms. Amanpisspour and the quick kick in the ass to Lou Dobb had me wondering about things at CNN and Fareed, in particular. The comments I found on your blog regarding him were a great read. ... So now you're stuck with me. Just gots to think me up a name here? And if there's anything I can ever do to help in any other way aside from helping to spread the word and keeping my eyes and ears open, which I do actively, .... just call my name, ... wait a minute, I don't have a name yet? Gotta work on that:)
That would be Christiane Amawhore, as we refer to her 'round here.
:)
