The Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a "Celebration of Illustration Gala" on June 22. Do you have a favorite Norman Rockwell work?

A glimpse behind the scenes: To create the high-quality vinyl pressing for the upcoming Warner Records release, Bernie Grundman used this Scully lathe — extensively restored, adapted and modernized. The lathe uses state-of-the-art handmade components to transfer James's classics from original 1970s tape, and is considered unequalled in its fidelity and precision. Bernie Grundman and Peter Asher took care to ensure the final pressing will precisely reproduce the albums James created 50 years ago. (Photo: David Mirkin)

Happy Father's Day! Do you have any "jolly springtime" activities planned today?

"....(James Taylor) is an American institution and an essential thread in the cultural fabric of our nation." "Craft Recordings has reissued One Man Band as a double-LP vinyl set, and it’s a knockout from start to finish." Read the full review from CultureSonar.

Over 40 years ago, James wrote his songs, "Millworker," and "Brother Trucker" as his contribution to "Working: A Musical" based on the book by Studs Terkel. The musical was a collaboration of a talented group of composers led by Stephen Schwartz to create "Working: A Musical." This month, it returns to New York as part of New York City Center's 75th anniversary. See it June 26-29!

Saddened to hear of the death of the legendary Dr John. The six-time Grammy-winning songwriter, composer, producer and performer created a unique style of music that epitomized his home town of New Orleans. He will be greatly missed.

Happy hump day! Today's cover is a version of "Lonesome Road" by Spanish á capella group In Crescendo.
