Dime-a-Dozen

As I'm sure Wendy will be happy to tell you, I am totally addicted to the website www.dimeadozen.org. This is a bit torrent site devoted exclusively to "lossless" recordings and videos of live performances. The moderators are quite strict and only allow previously unreleased, non-commercial material on the site. Every morning and night I check the site for new postings. I suppose that I've downloaded about 500 shows since I've discovered this site in September, the vast majority of which I haven't listened to. It is a very good thing that my wife is an addiction and mental health counsellor. [Above: Luther Allison rocks on...]
