No right click, no picture but I've been playing a Proper Box UK set I bought at Amazon - Hittin' On All Six - a 4 CD history of early jazz guitar that is quite nice, mostly '30's and '40's stuff, Lonnie Johnson to Charlie Christian, some Django, up to some Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis being the most recent. Lots of lesser known but very worthy players too. I probably had a fair degree of overlap with previous acquisitions, but it's a sufficiently coherent progression I decided to get it. If you are in need of such a history it's a good one, with a nice booklet, going for $19 something.

Don't tell Jonah, but I've realised that I've been playing a lot of jazz in recent days, so this morning it is rock with The Boss!

Wow this is good.
Wow this is good too. And cheap.

Psych folk instrumentals. This guy wields a slide like David Gilmore, giving this more of an early, Meddle-era Pink Floyd feel.
Deep Beneath the Mountain in the Palace of Owls by Nick Castell. Free at Bandcamp.
Typical Tacoma-style acoustic guitar, though very well executed, mixing styles with New Age.
Just got this, kind of awesome. Spacey funky Philly jazz from the 70s.
Stairway Escapist by Labrador Labratories. Free at Bandcamp
Cohen and Drake inspired folk-pop from Israel. Very nice.
Seems to get better with each listen.
Having a follow BT day :-). (At least as long as you keep posting nice twangy/resonant guitar stuff that's free). Thanks again.

I really like Koppel's haunting saxophone playing, so I suspect I'll soon be looking out for more to download

All great for background listening whilst working!
If this is cocktail music, then pour me a martini. (well, coffee...)
