At present I'm listening to some recordings I made this morning. # 1 is a instrumental I made up, no name yet. # 2, 3,4, is stuff I did just for fun and practice. Rawhide, Love Come Home, and Caravan. I do this almost everday. It is alot of work, playing the guitar, mandolin, bass, banjo, voices, tracks, but it does give me plenty of exercise.

"I'm convinced that playing well is not so much a technique as it is a decision. It's a commitment to do the work, strive for concentration, get strategic about advancing by steps, and push patiently forward toward the goal." Dan Crary
My ear worm at this precise moment is 'One Legged Man' by Buck White from the Bluegrass Mandolin Extravaganza. That is the neatest catchiest tune. What a groove....

Bon Iver - "Flume," "For Emma" and "Skinny Love" over and over, usually followed by the now unavailable Jonathan Richman album "It's Time For," which I found after hours of searching as a free downloadable zip file. You can still buy the CD from Amazon, at about $140 bucks used. "Double Chocolate Malted" may be the best song ever. Just a guy placing his very specific order for a malted at the Woolworth's counter. Haven't heard it in twenty years, still rocks completely. Frank

Ambient noise - A/C, fan, refrigerator, tap-tap-tap ... tap of keyboard - but looking forward to "Raising Sand," Kraus & Plant, which I finally broke down and got on ebay, should be here at week's end ...

Wish I'd known. I'd have sent you my copy. Gladly. Not my cuppa T.
On edit; that sounded kinda snarky. I've listened to Krause for years.
LZ was part of my cultural upbringing, being of that age. The combination
just didn't touch me.

Dang! Me too. Maybe in the future I'll post a request instead of devoting what always feels like too much time to getting something I've been sitting on the fence about anyway ... Gee - that's almost English ...
Most of the time my tastes run toward the obscure, though. What I'm really psyched about is a soundtrack album for an unreleased movie called "Anywhere." It features seven songs from one of my favorite artistes, Patti Rothberg, who usually rocks pretty hard, but for this project was a lot folksier. I stumbled on it quite by accident a year ago, which is weird, because we're pretty chummy and she's never mentioned it. Probably something to do with the movie's fate. Being so obscure the soundtrack has been hard to find at less than full price, and I've been reluctant to pay that as the rest of the album ... well, never mind.
Hmmm ... after further thought ... anyone have Neil Young - Live At Massey Hall CD/DVD? Or Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown - the Target version, with live tracks from Japan? PM me ... Thanks!

That gal on Bandolim is something else!
I'm listening to:
E Do Que Ha (It is what it is) composed by Luiz Americano and played by Jacob Do Bandolim...
if you don't have a copy of the original, you can hear a noisy live version by Groupo Rocambole in Portland...
