  I'll be there at about 8:30 am to perform this tribute to a record store that's closing its doors---one that we all love, namely, World Records, owned by a store owner and operator we all love: Pat.   I've recorded a low-budget, amateurish version of the song that you're hearing...

 Talk on the Streets of Bakersfield suggested it was highly anticipated.  Now it's here.  Two other publications have notified me of their plans to publish it.  I only pitched it to these two and Tollbooth, so more may be wanting to jump on the Bakersfield Sound...
