    I can say only one sentence in Greek - yet I love listening to Harris Alexiou

    E Pluribus Unum? Whoops, that's Latin.

    I know, I know "I am Spartacus".
     
    Something new from Renee Phoenix (formerly of The Explicits and Fit For Rivals) and, her 3rd band, Pink Fly. I can't wait for their debut album.

     
    Pink Floyd - Time
    I first heard this played during a PBS documentary about the Stanford linear accelerator. As the flew down the length of the accelerator filming it as though the viewer were a bird they played this music. Awesome

     
    A great Iris Dement protest song I hadn't heard until today.

    I use to listen to this for hours when I was in the Army. I had a buddy who was locked up in the stockade. They put him through mental torture which he responded by a hunger strike. They then put him in the military hospital at Ft. Lewis. Well, they needed an armed guard while he was in the hospital and that's where I came in. He owned an Akai tape recorder with hours of the Moody Blues which we would sit and listen to all day for several days until they dragged him out of the hospital and dragged him, kicking and screaming all the way, onto an airplane headed for Vietnam which was the reason for him winding up in the stockade in the first place. He was a bit of a strange guy and I never saw nor heard from him again. To this day the Moody Blues take me back to those days.

    It's amazing the memories a song will bring back. When I was a kid we lived in a house with a big glass window in the back door of the house. This CCR song reminds me of it every time I hear it.

    Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown


    Gordon Lightfoot - Early Morning Rain


    Early morning rain was a song we used to listen to in "coffee shops" all over the country in the mid 60s.
    "Coffee Shops: were places you'd go to to listen to people who would strum a guitar and sing folk songs at an open mike. Those of us who couldn't play the guitar would have to pay a cover charge. At these places they'd serve covvee and spiced hot cider for a price, of course. I'd usually borrow a buddy's spare guitar and get in free. Of course, I wouldn't try to play the thing because it was nothing more than a box with strings that I would listen to while others work their magic.

    Bob Dylan once said he'd tried his whole life to write a song as good as "If You Could Read My Mind" by Gordon Lightfoot...he's one of Canada's great treasures as a lyricist and a great, great acoustic guitarist...his songs are always full of difficult guitar voicings.

    I also used to love The Guess Who, another Canadian group.
    The Guess Who - Guns, Guns, Guns
     
    The best Dixieland jazz song ever!
    Dr. John and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band - It's All Over Now
