The Landmark has been around for a long time. I remember being at Syracuse University in 1986 and seeing Joe Jackson there.

Byron Bay Bluesfest

Re: Guidance, please, for Glastonbury

Thanks, Teresa. The more I read about it the less excited I get. However, if I were to go I would not do the camping bit. I would get a B&B or a hotel near the campgrounds. I have never been to London so I might make Glastonbury for one day and do other stuff.

I, too, think Juliet Letters is great. You should search out Elvis' collaboration with Anne Sofie Von Otter.. It's got some good tracks on it.

Guidance, please, for Glastonbury

I have been to five New Orleans Jazzfest and it is the best, but I have never been to London and been thinking of going to Glastonbury.

Re: Elvis at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, May 5 & 6, 2022

The first weekend of JazzFest has ended and it was great! It is always a good time no matter who is playing. You have local brass, funk, Cajun, and rock bands playing. There are big name national acts, too If you don’t like one type of music you just move onto another. The Who and Chili Peppers were...

I know there are some Nick fans here - or there were at some point. Here is Lizz Wright's jazz infused version of 'River Man'.

I pulled up the soundtrack listing of ‘The Chair’. If Sandra is picking the tracks kudos to her.

Re: Elvis when you least expect it

‘The Chair’ stars Sandra Oh. I don’t know if Sandra had any say in picking King Of America to end the show, but there is a YouTube video out there with Sandra dancing up on stage while Elvis plays during his Spinning Wheel concert.

Edit: She is an Executive Producer of the show.
