Bialys are the best. Pete, are you talking about Kossar's Bagels on Grand Street? Haven't been there since before COVID (live in Buffalo), but loved that place!

The Messa album has a real Cult "Love" vibe on occasion. Getting acclimated to it.

I have that Les McCann album and Layers on Lp. Is Ken going to bring in Layers on cd? If I remember correctly, my Lp of that is beat up.
