Music From Big Pink, or Levon Helms’ Dirt Farmer?
Your thoughts are welcome.
How about The Basement Tapes? I liked that a lot more than Music From Big Pink.

My first, and still (next to) favourite from The Band
This has been my favorite for blues, ever since I "gave it to my little sister" for Christmas in 1969. I had to perform a parentally-dictated "do-over" on the gift, but I still have the album!
It just keeps getting worse. Since bars and indoor restaurants opened covid is raising. Staff is being tested and many are turning out to be infected. Now the govt. is saying, if you went to certain places, get tested. From now on, masks are now mandatory in all public indoor places.
I have made them mandatory for me... EVERYWHERE! I enjoy(ed) gambling at casinos with a few dollars but, I am not gambling with my life. Too bad others do not feel the same.
A friend of ours just sent us some custom made masks, and there is another on the way (something musical, not sure what it is, as of yet. Maybe, it says "Give me an F......" 
).
).
I just learned that we have Bubonic Plague 2020 on the way!
Ha, misery loves company. Another quotable for 2020!
My beloved nephew made a Lot of lemonade out of the lemons the Universe has handed him (and then came Covid-19 to cancel ALL the plans!) as he struggled to get married last month.
It came off!
It was beautiful.
The entire family will gather up next June.
The happy couple...30ish.., owns a turntable...and ‘about 10’ records.
My job is to double the size of their collection.
First on the list...Jason Isbell’s latest, Reunions.
Next comes Grand Funk Live, then the Grateful Dead’s Europe ‘72.
I get bogged down there.

Meet The Beatles- mono.
I used to think so, I stopped buying bootlegs at conventions many years ago.
I remember the first Beatle bootleg I ever heard, it was on a cassette, I was amazed at some of the different versions of the same songs I had each heard a thousand times or more.

I've seen few medical inquisitors at any doctor's offices of late. Staff at the hospitals still question out-patients and take our temperatures. Still using freebie masks from the hospital (and one big box store). I see the supermarket is getting stricter about masks. For a couple weeks there I'd see shoppers without. But I too was a shopper without on that very first weekend. Feels like that was was ages ago.
Plagues and Peoples - Wikipedia was (is?) a popular examination of the effects of disease on civilization. Armies, of course, have always carried disease. Depending on where you are in time, things might very well look like the end of the world. If you're at home minding your own life and the men who swore to protect you don't keep their end of the bargain, well certainly would look like the end of the world. Yours, anyway.
Add a little disease, a generous helping of poverty and a collapse of .... that was then, not now, who are we kidding?! "How do we know he's a king? He doesn't have pewp all over him"

NObody expects ... the medical inquisition!
At the dentist's office Monday, filling out papers, and there it was ... a medical inquisition! "Do I have a fever, cough, congestion, respiratory difficulty, etc., etc., ... " (Well, usually, yeah! That's what my [all-]seasonal allergies always do.) Me: no.

John Cleese warns of a creepy John Cleese portrait with a mustache that follows you around the room.
My mustache is always following me around the room (actually, it is I who follows the mustache).
All mine are on CD, although they sold them on cassettes and vinyl as well. They are all studio outtakes, nothing unreleased. Some are pretty poor quality, others are excellent. The extras that come with current albums are all cleaned up versions of the outtakes that are on bootlegs. If you can’t beat them, join them.
When the Beatles first hit, a neighbour worked for Capital records. His job was to tour record stores and confiscate bootlegs. Capital couldn’t meet the demand so others stepped in and made illicit copies of the records. Some sold them out of the back of their cars. The quality was often lower. It was a real problem at the time.
There should be free masks for all. There is a good supply of masks, alcohol, shields, and sanitizer in stores. Sellers are gouging with mask prices. One store was selling the common blue paper type for $1, most sell them for $2-$5 each. I don’t see N95 rated ones anywhere. At one time, hardware stores sold them for woodworking. Not anymore.
