Texarkana

Total population: 61,230 (38,665 Caucasian; 21,404, Black / African-American; 602, Native American; 559 Other). Major industry: U.S. military ordnance (Red River Army Depot). Situated on the Texas - Arkansas state line. Birthplace of Scott Joplin, Conlon Nancarrow and the Milazzo Family.

Bad -- i.e., amateurish -- digital photos from Jully, 2004. Best viewed while listening to Doug Sahm's "At The Crossroads", Michael Nesmith's And The Hits Just Keep On Comin', Jolie Holland singing her "Catalpa Waltz", Andrew Hill's "Ghetto Lights" (from Bobby Hutcherson's Dialogue), The Knitters singing "Trail of Time", Fairport Convention's "Autopsy", Beck's "Cancelled Check", Blind Willie McTell's "Travelin' Blues", the Budd Johnson / Jimmy Jones Big Four session (H.R.S., 1947, 4 selections), the Jandek LP of your choice, or nothing at all.

Anything but R.E.M.'s "Texarkana", certainly.

Is that the murky visage of Milazzo, digital camera cocked & at the ready, in the Shoe Service sign?

Unrelatedly, I’ve long been mulling that a Milazzo-made mix tape is likely a lovesome thing. Any man whose playlist pinballs from Mike Nesmith to The Knitters to Budd Johnson has both my awe & admiration. How might one get added to such a subscription service? And once added what are the associative fees?

Milazzo in no way looks like a cat, Derek. Well, maybe you're right.

ptilp indeed!
