  3. Does anyone have a list of what songs will be on the album? (Album? Damn, I am old!)? I would love to know. I am already intellectually salivating over the CD and need some kind of fix. I missed the original broadcast so all I have is my anticipation!

  19. AWESOME CONCERT! I love when musicians come together to bridge gaps between two genres! Not that jazz and country have never come together before, but this was just a very special evening! I happened to catch about half of this concert on the XM’s Real Jazz. I’m a HUGE Willie fan and a big Wynton fan! Let me say, Willie ALWAYS sings the blues!

    DOES ANYONE KNOW, WHERE CAN I GET A COPY OF THIS?!?!?!
