"you've got the world at your fingertips, no one can make it better than you" WAKE UP!
By seeing what we listen to, makes me think we all  have more in common than I sometimes might have thought.
The words to, what's the name? nothing to hide? Were ones that helped a meandering boy to get focused in life.
10-1614 more than a number, it's body and soul.

after reading through this thread, I must pull out my collection of Taj Mahal CDs which I haven't heard for quite some time now.
I have been listening to three Adrian Legg CDs. Not well known here in the states, I know, but I thought our Canadian and UK brethren would discuss him here from time to time. The barefooted pedal-happy acoustic player lives in London.

I assume we are all posting here because of commonalities and not differences.  That doesn't mean we don't have differences, but it does mean our commonalities are important enough to each of us to cause us to spend a goodly amount of time posting here.  Just as a bunch of us could sit down and have a pretty rancorous debate on politics, so could we all sit down with our guitars and make some wonderful music.

Thumbs up to that!

I mean, at the end of the day, who cares if it was a flute or an old whistle.  :winkin:

I heard a couple of tracks off that one yesterday on the radio, gotta get that one myself.


Cheers, Scott.
Martin OM-21. 
Gibson SG Special.
Schertler David.
Achillies 5F2A Princeton.

Victoria, Australia.

The icing on the cake for me, with Brozman, is that while being a virtuoso, he can sound so genuine and rootsey. He can transport you to another time and place. Kinda like Norman Blake as far as that. With both you can get the feeling on some stuff that you're back in the 1930's.
10-1614 more than a number, it's body and soul.

Mona Bon Jakon - Cat Stevens (I just love Katmandu)
Dianne Krall live in Paris.
Joshua Bell - Romance of the violin.
Yes - Big Generator.
Heavier things - John Mayer.
Oh and AC/DC's Shook me all night long thanks to Fongie  :thumb
"To me...music exists to elevate us as far as possible above everyday life." ~ Gabriel Faure

The Who "Live at Leeds"  I actually only heard this for the first time. The whole concert is now on CD. Stunning. Can't get enough of Pete's guitar.

Robert Wyatt "Soupsongs"  Live performance of Wyatt's songs by a great collection of musicians.

Hanne Hukkelberg "Blood From a Stone"  New album just got a good review in the NYTimes. I think it's nice, I like it.

Jimi Hendrix Experience.
You know, the one with Purple Haze, Fire and Hey Joe.

Angela Hewitt  "Ravel: Complete Piano Works"   Hewitt is one of the very best.
If it sounds good, it is good.
