Thought I’d check NPR Music for some new sounds. Now remember, when I say “new,” I mean “new to ME.”  Though, sometimes what I find is actually new; either a new artist, new song, new album.  It’s fun to find new stuff.  Tom Brosseau is new to me and I really enjoyed his performance onContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 120-Cradle Your Device”

Writing yesterday about bluegrass and progressive bluegrass got me looking for more songs of that genre.  I’d mentioned Béla Fleck and even included this song as a link, but I thought it worth sharing the video here as well.  This isn’t the video to which I linked last night, but it’s equally lovely…  

Since I heard that Nickel Creek had reunited for another album, I’ve been enjoying listening again to their earlier work.  I’d forgotten how much I really like bluegrass and progressive bluegrass.  I grew up on Flatt & Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys.  I now love listening to Punch Brothers and Béla Fleck.  I rememberContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 118-When You Come Back Down”

Spent a lovely weekend with my daughter and grandsons.  My son-in-law was away for the weekend, so I decided to go down and help with the boys.  We had a blast, from miniature golf and arcade games at Mountasia, to bouncing balls along the side of the house, to visiting and eating with family.  AndContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 117-Whom Shall I Fear”

Grey's Anatomy did it again.  They gave me another song to share.  Granted, you heard it on Thursday, when the show aired, but I just watched it tonight on Hulu Plus.   I mentioned before that I gave up cable TV for Roku and Netflix and Hulu Plus.  It's been a nice change, cost-wise, butContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 116-Ordinary World”

I finally saw the movie!      

Heard this song on my way to visit babies. They are the reason I come home…    

Black Prairie.  Yeah, I didn’t know them either, before today, but I’m glad we met.  Thank you, NPR, for introducing us.    The video is pretty funny…  

Quiet night tonight.  Busy day at work makes for brain that doesn’t want to think much about stuff.  Came across this artist on NoiseTrade.  Found this song on Soundcloud.  It soothes.    

In a Nickel Creek mood tonight.  Have been enjoying their new LP, the Dotted Line.  Am waiting for a video or recording of one of the songs, Elsie, but nothing yet.  It’s an instrumental that has definitely caught my ear. While waiting for that, I did find this, and am so glad I did.  IContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 111-In the House of Tom Bombadil”
