    Just picked this one up and it is a very interesting recording so far. Artist royalties are donated to the homeless.

    Bernd,Alison Krause+Union Station?

    Great choice, my friend! I hope you enjoy it, I know I do. I don't know if your familiar with "Bete Noire". It's one of Ferry's lesser known solo outings. He is accompanied by Johnny Marr of The Smiths fame and all the pithy guitar one could want, as well as a proficient African rhythm section. Not a classic but decent stuff.
    Happy listenings to all

    Yeah, I do like this sort of bluegrass music in small doses. I really enjoy the playing and the recording quality is superb.

    As for Mr.Ferry I only own two outputs by him, "Frantic and Boys & Girls", and I like them both. Especially his version of "It's all over now, baby blue".

    Have a good one

    Have your heard the Joshua Bell and Edgar Meyer "Short Trip Home"? I enjoy that recording very much. I also noticed you were playing Squirrel Nut Zippers. I have their Perenial Favorites cd which is one of my favorites.

    Mssrs. Bernd and JohnMichael

    No, I have not heard the Bell and Meyer, but you can bet I'll keep an eye out on my next foray into the retail world. Big fan though not a big collector of Squirrelnuts--good instrumentation, fun sounds, and often macabre subject matter. What's not to love?I'm sure you would agre that they serve as an excellent segue piece from one genre to the next.
    Well, Bernd, it does seem as though there are many committed to the music and not jus the pursuit of gear. I for one, would like to thank everyone that's been part of this as everyday I get strong suggestions for titles and artists I would not find if left to my own devices.
    Oh yes, and now spinning:
    "Berloiz's Symphonie Fantastique"--Charles Munch and BSO
    And next up..."The London Concert"--Wynton Marsalis and the English Chamber Orchestra
    Cheers to all

    Bobby- I wanna come to your house. Bernd- Next time I'm on your island.

    Carbon Glacier- Laura Viers (Nonesuch). Bloody enrapturing. This is production in the service of the artist. On both sides of the console. It took me about 5 listens to begin to get it. She's a coffee house singer/songwriter and at first I thought oh no no no . . they're killing her with production. But I kept listening and now I'm spellbound. Nonesuch, her producer, I think they understood how to support her from the git. It's magical. Oh yeah, this is a recommendation.

    Bone- Dan amazes me on some songs how perfect they are constructed. The title track on Pretzel Logic . . tell me that isn't an encyclopedia of R&B.

    I read a recent interview with the pres./founder of Nonesuch...he talked about how he would take the handfull of demos he was interested in and drive away for the wkend. in his Audi...kick up the volume, disappear. I imagine him driving into the crazy landscapes of the Badlands, logged-out hills in Washington, changing leaves in upstate NY, etc....while listening to Laura Viers and how psyched he'd be to produce her stuff. Yeah, this is good stuff and I second the rec.

    Bob- Tord Gustavsen in on my website. Ever been there? In an hour or so, I'll be listening to some ladies from the Puntamaya catalog courtesy of Bob Sticks, a gentleman and a scholar and a top shelf dude, besides. Thanks, Bob.

    Yup, I've been there a couple-few times, I particularly like The Ground.

    Hope you enjoy the Putumayo stuff. It's intended as kind of a sampler for a catalogue that I suspect you'd enjoy quite a bit---at the least you'd find it interesting. Peace.

    As an aside, how 'bout dem Bears....mebbe.

    Edit: Since it is "What's Spinning...?" I suppose I should include that I spun a bit of The Klaxons during halftime. This one's gonna be a nailbiter.

    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"
