It's small and the sound (well, at least downstairs) is excellent. I'm not sure about the mezzanine, though. I, hrmpph, will not be at this show because my son has a concert the same night at the same time. It's not just maternal duty - I really want to go to Curt's concert. It just would have been better if it were a different day.

The Kingston Trio, Getz/Gilberto, Martin Denny, and some of the calypso records by Harry Belafonte. They also had some cool stereo effects records that were included when they bought one of those huge all-in-on stereo cabinets.

He was a big fan of Texas swing, had lots of Ernie Tubb, Texas Playboys und so weiter. The only two records of his I really remember listening to as a kid are Bill Cosby's "Why Is There Air?" and "I Started Out as a Child".

Spike Jones, too; I guess I picked up my appreciation of outsider music from Spike - - what he did was oddly brilliant (or brilliantly odd). Amongst the comedy records and trad jazz (you can't believe how much UK trad my dad has) are some skiffle gems. If you can get past the bloody awful affected accents, there's some wonderful demented fast folk and blues. Skiffle was around for such a short time (grew up as the homemade, improvised music played between trad sets) and disappeared so quickly. I still think that Lonny Donegan's version of "New Burying Ground" is my favourite. I have no idea what my mother's musical taste is. I don't remember her having any records.
