    Beautiful

    I'm working at the moment but will set off to buy that this weekend. I am very glad it is a solo album. Some of her albums that she has done with others have been a disappointment to me---Robert Plant being my least favorite.

    Not to leave without an offering, I was listening to this while working.
    The recording I was listening to was by the London Symphony Orchestra.

    I enjoy some of the videos in which established stars invite audience members to join them. Some of them are surprisingly good. Michael Buble' has several, but here is one where a young fellow in Billy Joel's audience has the gonads to invite himself on stage and play piano while Joel sings "A New York State Of Mine."

    Amazon has the single song but the album isn't available as yet

    Billy Joel is "one of the family", he is a motor head and owns a MC shop not far from where the factories are on Long Island. Plus two of the principles are big into MCs. We have done a lot of work at his house---including mahogany garage doors.

    Still on the taxes when this by Andreas Vollenweider played. This is a bit out of the norm; only because he doesn't fit in my normal box for the typical harpist or harp type music. I have two or three of his CDs in my library.

    Give it a listen, I think you may be presently surprised.

    I just found this by accident. I'm going to have to look at some more of his music if he hasn't set his fiddle on fire!

    Eat your heart out boys!

    You can see in the clip how long I ruminated over this decision

    I have three songs now and will get the rest of the album on 2/17/17

    Added in edit: Now I have listened to the three I have--a few times---and I'm in love all over again

    Here's some nice cool jazz. The sax player, Kirk Whalum, was one of a precious few jazz men who matured in Houston where I saw him many times off Westheimer in a club. It was always a treat. I like his soprano sax work best, but couldn't spot any on YouTube just yet. He has migrated to modern church music yet can still blow. His group here also features another favorite instrument, the flugal horn, which is a rarity. The electric bass player is using a 6 string bass, which I can't remember ever seeing before, and judging how fine he is playing it, I hope to hear more.

    I had never heard Michael Cleveland before either. Ain't YouTube a great place to go exploring. From the Wiki piece on him, he is at the top of the heap in Bluegrass fiddle playing, as well he should be. He is a master of his art. It is written that it takes 10,000 hours to master or become an expert in any endeavor. Cleveland must have at least 100,000 hours in fiddle playing.

    If you missed it, the name of the song was The Lemon Blossom Special and I expected it to break down into the familiar Orange Blossom Special at any time, which it never did, but his tune was even more - much more - special. Pretty damned special, really.
