glad you're enjoying the tunes! i would have liked to have attended that marley/wailers concert, too. i'm glad somebody there managed to tape it for us.

I'm especially enjoyong the somewhat discordant jazzy blues of Mayall, and the excellent sound recording of Bob Marley and the Wailers. I would have liked being at that perfprmance.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has quietly hired a famed photographer — who boasts Mark Zuckerberg, George W. Bush and Barack Obama as previous clients — to burnish his man-about-the-state image.

Charles Ommanney, a former photojournalist and war photographer who traveled with Newsom to China last fall as a freelancer, was on hand Thursday to capture Newsom in aviator sunglasses, jeans and work gloves, picking up detritus left over from a recently-cleared homeless encampment in Los Angeles County. …

The governor’s office about six months ago named Ommanney its director of photography, a title that comes with a $200,000 per year salary.
