We'd like to know the top 10 things you have been listening to in the past few days. Give us some interesting ideas. These are not your all time faves. This is what you're actually listening to now!
I met David through my singer/songwriter nephew. He is an amazing talent and has recently made a movie "Between Notes" that is moving through the independent film festival circuit. If you get a chance to see it, do!! It was filmed here in Dallas and I'm hoping it does well so I can see it on the "big screen" some day real soon!!
thanks for this, sheree! if you ever want to "see" the video in the comment box, put the embed code in here but click the little flimstrip icon first....yay for your nephew!!! thanks for introducing us to him!
I wondered how y'all were doing that!! And David is my nephew's friend. I don't think I was real clear on that one. Let's see if I can do it properly...
Listening to "Lost and Found" by Kate MacLeod and Kat Eggleston; both acclaimed singer songwriters in their own right, they occasionally team up for a stunning duo performance. I've had this in the player since last Sunday, nonstop. I'll have to look and see if there's video.
oooo love these suggestions. i'm listening to robert plant and alison krause. i was the only person in america who didn't get a chance to listen the first time around!
thanks, carla! guys, if you put in a link from youtube put the embed code in here by clicking the film strip three icons in. that way the video will appear. it's more enticing for people to click than just the link. thanks!!!
I hope that doesn't stop people from checking out the two performances; they're both songs from the new album. Life is sure better for me when I have Kate MacLeod's music on.
Yesterday, I FINALLY got around to buying Paul Simon's latest album, So Beautiful or So What. I've only listened to it once through, so I'm not commenting yet, but this guy is obviously a musical genius. He really is.
This one is by James Morrison - better known as an actor (not the younger British musician). You may know him best as Bill Buchanan in 24. He also writes and plays his own music, which I've only just listened to for the first time today. This one is great. I could only find this fan made video, but it serves the purpose:
Jen is sposed to be here right now at the songwriters circle... she may have had too much to do with the raptor enclosure. Hope she shows; she is fabulous!
Ahhh... Jen showed up moments after I posted. What a great song circle tonight. Dave & I played quite of few of ours and one of Eric Taylor's. Jen & I each played a new one, just for kicks. BTW, if you haven't heard Eric Taylor, you'd best do somethin about it. Formerly married to Nanci Griffith, he's one of her inspirations, and she described him accurately as the Somerset Maugham of songwriters. He's top of the heap. Alltime.
thanks, don! if you want the video to show up, grab the embedment code from youtube. then click the little filmstrip icon third from the left and put the code in there.....thanks for sharing this stuff!!!
well, sitting at the kitchen counter top, with laptop, and a poptop, and got the pandora set to kinda of a seventies mix or something. i know i am an older man now, but honestly, that era was chock full of melody and optimism in the music. so nice...
melody! YES! whatever happened to THAT? seems like singing in a monotone flat tone is awfully popular right now. even the cheezy stuff in the 70's had good melody. at least A melody. i like stuff from the 40's for that reason too. melody. i'm trying to think of my fave melodies from the 70's and can't right now...i'll be back on this...
i'm back. :-) i'm watching cbs sunday morning. they have jimmy webb on discussing his huge library of fabulous 70's songs. a couple of years earlier he did "up up and away" which is one of my melody faves from then. i'm revealing my corny side, but "raindrops keep falling on my head" is a 70's song that i love to hear..."snowbird" that anne murray did. and how about "little green apples"? ok, maybe i'm a geek, but i like these melodies.
damn! really disappointed with myself that I missed the jimmy Webb feature. I gotta see it. CBS is likely to post on 'Sunday morning site. thanks Lisa for pointing it out, I would not have known, as today I was not paying attention. gonna go check now.
