Me: Hey Ron, 
I never even knew about PBS until a few years ago (thanks Michael 
Barone!!).  Oh, I'm jealous of your catching him live. Good for you!  
There is a double disc out featuring some live tracks and some demos 
that's cool too.

Me: I'm a bit of a Walker fanatic. I have all the "proper" releases  
from the Walker's and Scott.  Including a few are hard to find per 
Scott doesn't want them rereleased I guess (such as "Moviegoer" 
and "Songs from the TV Series").  I'm a sucker for the noble lyrics 
and delivery of "Make it Easy on Yourself".  


3) Beach Boys (OK, I had Pet Sounds but doubt I would ever have gone 
further

Ron: Say No More! You need them all.

Me: Hey, Ron, we've had this discussion before! :)
Well, I have from the mid 60's to early 70's.  Which is progress from 
a guy who hated them many years ago, right?? :)

Me: Yeah, Rhino rereleased tons of Buck's stuff. I have the box set 
and another 6 solos discs or so. The live disc is worth the purchase 
just for smokin' renditon of the intrumental on it ("Buckaroo").
 
But, have you heard Nirvana or Honeybus!? :)

Me: I can understand that. But, then I could understand people not 
liking Tom Rapp's, Walkers or Buck's voice too.  Enter at your own 
risk. :)
