Listening to Mike Doughty's Busking album
and it might just be one of my favorite live albums, hearing the trains, people asking for directions and the rawness of the songs. I’ve heard his other acoustic stuff and have seen him play solo several times but this comes through as the cleanest most close to the chest recordings I’ve heard.

They are still my kids when they have interrupted me more times than you could count to ask me a question that I was about to talk about before they interrupted me.
I still love them then.
I love them, so I…
