Maybe I’ll go watch his classic Austin City Limits performance and complete the trifecta. But first, allow me to share these 112 singles, videos, cover tunes, remixes and unburied treasures. As always, there are a couple of dozen winners here you won’t find anywhere else. Today’s Tinnitist-approved tracks are flagged with a 🏆. ’Cause Tony Franciosa used to date my ma:
