A typical day for me

[ericcoleman]

I have gone from listening to

Steve Goodman (I need more, got the Anthology last night)
to
James McMurtry (I need to get a couple of his songs to the folks at Riverfolk)
to
The Benny Goodman Orchestra (the complete 38 Carnegie Hall Concert)

And now ... The Sex Pistols

Is it any wonder why the wife didn't want me to get a CD changer?

(and a winky button to anyone who gets the song reference in that last sentence, Tony Fletcher is disqualified)

I have all my music ripped to mp3 format specifically so I can shuffle through the entire ecclectic lot. I think we would be at home in each others music collections. :)

I used to refer to my LP collection as Abba To Zappa and everything inbetween.

Mine is ABBA to ZZ Top, so nyah!

[ericcoleman]

I have ZZ Top ... but I rarely admit to it

Yay James McMurtry! I'd love to hear chasophonic do a couple of his songs. How's about we teach him "Song for a Deckhand's Daughter"? I think a ballad like that would really showcase his voice and guitar. :}

You know, i actually play a couple of his songs myself... "Too Long in the Wasteland" and "Vague Directions". And i should learn "Poor Lost Soul". I dunno if Chas has ever heard me play them, tho.

I have a live version of James and a female singer whose name escapes me doing Crazy Wind as a duet from a brilliant live almost solo show from Austin radio between the first two CDs that is amazing.

tish hinojosa?

[ericcoleman]

Yes, her name jumped into my brain late last night. Thanks.

The show is astounding, they work so well together.

And don't get me started about her, I just embarrass myself.

i may have only score average in your killer quiz, but that's only from impure geeking, not a lack of heart! :-D

[ericcoleman]

you never sent me your answers ... or at least I dont think you did

[the2wittybird.livejournal.com]

This is true...i never did. but you linked to it once and i took it freehand. i sucked...but if i hadn't been listening to xrt since the early 80's, i would have far more than that. think i got like a 20 or so. would have done better on the rutles if only i'd remembered some of the names a bit better. names are my weak point. always.
