That is quite a varied collection.
I am a huge Wilco fan. Have you seen the Wilco film, "I am Trying to Break Your Heart?"
To Swimpy.
Swimpy yes I have, I would like to turn you onto a cd you might like. It is by Jay Bennet & Edard Burch "The Palace at 4am", It has Wilcos old Keyboardist, and it is so much like Wilco, I love them also. They orig came from a country band where Tweedy split and the other formed Sonvolt, you should check out Jay Farrar, and His solo disk "Sebastapol"
I love all music that comes from the heart, and listen to a very big variety, though prefer classical, (certain) Jazz, and Blues.. Though at the same time love music from Dylan, Neil Young and esp The endeavors taken on by the late Jerry Garcia with his compilations with David Grisman, They are all acoustical and take for example " Shady Grove", excellent piece of work bringing back old folk songs as they were originally written lyrically before some took them and rearranged or added. I fall in love with instrumental pieces and how certain performers can let their heart flow into the instrument allowing it to fly free like the worlds most beautiful butterfly to land on us and visit.
I'm not sure of the gamalan group you suggest, but I have some interest in gamalan, when I am in the mood...the Rubenstein stuff...I would have to check out the family 78's....there is a very cool (and valuable) collection of classical pieces on original shellac pressings. Just wondering if you are familiar with the acoustic Celtic pieces/interperatations of Maggie Sansone, who plays hammered dulcimer?
O, just thought of it....Hesperus, who combine medieval and appalachian music....very cool...
