On March 26, I, Lance Davis, joined Sarah Espinoza in matrimony. It was a lovely, understated ceremony at the Urban Light installation in front of LACMA (LA County Museum of Art). Urban Light was one of the first places Sarah and I went to on a date because it features 200 street lamps from […]

Dave & Phil Alvin – Common Ground

For the first time in Adios Lounge history, I’m having someone else write a post. (What do you mean I have control issues? That doesn’t sound like me. Must wash hands.) Anyway, I’ve known Sean-Michael Yoder for over 20 years. He was my assistant music director at KCSC (Chico State) in the early ’90s and […]

The Vinyl File: The Blasters – American Music

Posted by Lance Davis - August 30, 2013 - Bill Haley, Billy Boy Arnold, Blasters, Bob Wills, Dave Alvin, Jimmie Rodgers, Junior Parker, Phil Alvin, Queen, Vinyl File, X

The Vinyl File returns and it’s again focused on The Blasters. This was not intentional. I was recently interviewed by Peter Zimowski II of Now Spinning and as the name of his website might suggest, we discussed collecting vinyl and discovering music.
