Sanford wasn't the first man with a "Bathsheba problem." He won't be the last. Such an easy and inviting problem to get into, literally and figuratively, but such a difficult one to get out of....

Picked up Elvis Costello's new record. Because it was produced by T-Bone Burnett, and peopled with great session players, i.e., Jerry Douglas, I built up my expectations. Mistake. Costello's melodies just sound awkward to me. Despite his many successes, Burnett produces some stinkers from time to time. I was disapointed in the record he produced for Cassandra Wilson also.
