The "justly" famous Manny's Cafeteria and Delicatessen in Chicago's South Loop helping out.
I remember Obama eating here when he was campaigning for President, Gino carving corned beef for him like a samurai.

Nostalgia gets the better of us record collectors.
top 4 are keepers. bottom 3 in the pile (not because I don't like them, they're just much better on CD or Hi-Res).

Patience will be rewarded...a somewhat recurring theme for Charlie Haden recordings.
"beyond the Missouri Sky" with Pat Metheny.
Both of these master musicians are from America's Heartland.
Charlie from Shenandoah, Iowa and Pat from Lee's Summit, Missouri.

Today marks seven years since the horrific Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre.
On October 27, 2018, an antisemitic, white supremacist gunman opened fire during Shabbat services, murdering 11 innocent worshippers.
