   Spectacular range with this artist. On the one hand you have
   Bill Frisell with the great Ron Carter and Paul Motian
   and then equally haunting
   Bill Frisell with Elvis Costello on Deep Dead Blue
   Thanks Paul

   Editor’s note: Thanks John. I will have to look into that album with Elvis Costello. Perhaps we will post one of those songs. Is there one that you would especially like for us to do—you can be famous: A Blogfinger guest DJ. contact: Blogfinger@verizon.net

   Frank: In November we did a post on the Disfarmer album by Bill Frisell. I guess you missed it. I was pleased with that post because of the confluence of wonderful music and photography. Thanks for bringing it up:

   Another great Bill Frisell CD is Disfarmer from 2009. It is based on life & work of photographer Mike Disfarmer. Funny coincidence that Blogfinger has song by Bill Frisell Today as just yesterday I got the Disfarmer CD.
