Music: What are you listening to today?
In the spirit of the books and movies threads, here's one to talk about what you're listening to lately and what you hav
As I have mentioned before, I listen to my music alphabetically. I start with the A's and work through to the Z's untill I start all over again. I have maybe 600-700 albums on my ipod? Typically takes about a year to roll over. Turned over in October and already up to the J's. Joni is one of my favorites. Watched a documentary about her (amazon prime) a couple of weeks ago and have been jonesing to hear her since. But first had to get through all the other J's which is my biggest letter ( James Taylor, Jefferson Airplane, Jethro Tull, Jimmy Buffett not to metion all the generic J's) Joni is the last J and I probably have 100 J albums. Anyway Carrie is a favorite likely off the greatest album ever recorded (Blue). Listened to Ladies of The Valley, Blue, and For the Roses today. Damn! Still have about 5 more Joni's to get through but those first 5 albums may be the greatest concentration of A+ albums from any artist/band ever.
The dulcimer is awesome!
had never heard of 66Semus until this video, but appreciate his skill and musicianship
thought the whole thing was an enjoyble invitation into his process
elp and steely dan are probably the two grandpa bands i never really connected with,
upong further reflection could probably also add springsteen to the same list
If you're not going to connect with bands, elp and steely dan are good ones not to connect with. Bruce is OK if I get to listen to Clarence Clemons.
ELP, meh...
Springsteen on occasion, when the mood kinda strikes, but...
...back in the day, fine Colombian, the right lady friend & Steely Dan made many a night a wonderful thing.
oh ya ought to know i osmosisly rocked their entire catalogue multiple times and
still damn appreciate the musicianship and lyrics
but if the topic is songs to share with a lady and other illegal substances
this guy was captain of my jukebox

I love Cohen so much. The smile and the "you're very kind, thank you" at 1:39+ is just too precious. And so is The Answer.

You've married up, my friend. To find someone who has even heard of the album...
I used to own a Lester Flatt D28lf Martin guitar during my guitar collecting days... Brazilian Back and sides.
I am sorry I sold that bad boy, but it wasn't really the right guitar for me... they have quadrupled in price over the last decade.
Astral Weeks is extremely popular among the 30 somethings i know.
Hmmm. I have to some math. A 30 something could be born ~1990? That's the CD era? Must have been reissued and somehow gotten some airplay. Bewildering. By that date all my local radio stations had been bought by conglomerates and were only playing drek. Maybe some college DJ found it.
Makes sense. This album has always had followers--even on this poker forum, i bet a dozen people have commented on it over the years.
I found it in a cutout bin for a dollar and went decades before I heard anyone mention it.

A cut-out bin treasure I stumbled upon while shrooming and drinking an Orange Julius in 1979.
It's another Sunday morning staple.
Also frequently played in my classroom.
Visited my 30-something daughter in Boston last weekend; walked in to this...
I, along with MrsSaint, fully accept responsibility.
