Sweethearts of the Rodeo ~ The Byrds (with Gram Parsons)
in 1968 I got two albums for Christmas. Sweethearts and Disraeli Gears. I never did listen to Sweethearts til 10 years later. It's quite an album.
Archer Prewitt's new CD Wilderness
Steve Earle! What a guy.
Panzade~ I didn't like Sweethearts when it came out. I wasn't ready for the rock/country thing yet. I have since fallen in love with Gram Parsons, mainly thanks to Emmylou Harris.

Saturday Night Blues on the CBC
Holger's featuring the 18th Annual Women's Blues Revue in the first hour. I've heard parts of the show already. It was amazing.
Sue Foley doing a cover of Memphis Minnie's I'm a Bad Luck Woman always throws me back in my chair.
oh, just saw that Pan was listening to some Lenny Breau. He was an amazing talent, wasn't he.
I can't stop listening to the Arcade Fire cd... I really can't.
"Sacrifice" - Lisa Gerarrd; Pieter Bourke. This is the soundtrack from the movie "The Insider" It's a very slow, soft piece. It's hauntingly beautiful.
good choice paula
I'm listening to Kemanci by Emel Sayin, a very melodic Eastern artist
There was another Parsons,Gene who was in the Byrds. He put out an album called Kindling(out of print) that is fabulous. He does a great version of Lowell George's"Willing" with just guitar, accordion and harmonica.

Ghazal
Music: Kiran Ahluwalia
Lyrics: Tahira Masood
Lyrics:
Vo kuch aise man main samae hua hain
Vo aisai khayalon main chhai hua hain
Muhabbat main hum yun akele challe hain
Unhe is tapish say bachaye huai hain
Suna hai rakeebon say un ban hai unki
Umeedon ki shamma jalaye hua hain
Nahin Tahira kuch zamane say shikwa
Yeh gham khud khushi say uthai huai hain
Translation:
He has completely gripped my emotions
as if taken hold of my thoughts.
On the path of love I tread alone
so I can save him the anguish.
Rumour has it that he has fallen out with my rivals.
This has brightened my light of hope.
Tahira why should I complain against the world
when I can myself bear this grief happily.
Translated by Professor Saleem Qureshi
I am totally doin' the headshake and shimmyshimmyshakeshake with this.
We gonna romp and tromp till midnight
We gonna fuss and fight till daylight
We gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long

Didn't mean to kill the thread. I am now listening to Wynton Marsalis: Standard Time Vol. 2: Intimacy Calling. Lovely.
