Been listening to Nora Jones; rapidly becoming a favorite of mine. Give a listen to 'Don't Know Why.' Nora is the daughter of a man I hold in high regard, Ravi Shankar. Amazing talents, both.

I love October Project (listen to 'Arial') and no matter how great you think a particular guitar player is, I ask you to consider a man named Danny Gatton. Or perhaps another monster player, Mr. Dick Dale. He plays left handed, upside down. For the longest time, he was my favorite. Then I learned how to play the B-flat Coronet and J.B. Arban became my guiding light.

We have favorites but they are often replaced by new favorites.

I hate these questions. How can you have a favorite? Dam Internet brings us people that are amazing and will never be heard from again or outside of the net. We discover or rediscover golden oldies we have long forgotten and once loved, and we find songs that changed our lives. Our iPods become filled with songs that could all be called favorites.

I have never really appreciated Ricky Lee Jones, but I've got to say, "On Saturday Afternoons In 1963" is a great song.

Here is a song that might leave some of you feeling a bit on edge. It is by Johnny Cash and I found myself shivering a bit. Johnny has a way of convincing you that some of us are screwed and some of us are saved. Listen to it last thing at night with the lights down low. It is rapidly becoming a favorite Cash song, but I do not know why.

There are two songs that are directly responsible for me becoming what I have become. Both songs are woven into my fabric and many of the reasons I love these two songs has nothing to do with how great they are, it is something much different. They would sit side by side at the top of any favorites list I create, i should say.

1- Is That All There Is, by Peggy Lee
2- What's New Pussycat, by Tom Jones

Definitely not this:

I would simply perish without music.:)

If you are interested, I know where you can purchase a collection of albums numbering over one million disks as well as more than 1.5 million or so 45 RPMs. Let me know and I'll hook you up. Valued at 50 million dollars, but apparently, he will take three million.

Ha ha. But did you notice we have similar taste though. I was brought up with all this and you can't forget the good stuff. I forgot Tom Jones - green grass of home and O Fortuna. Did you know any of the comedians though.

I like some of Tom Jones stuff and Hubbernicks,as to knowing the comedians, no I never got up close,shook Bob Hopes and Ann Margarets hand,plus I had a couple of beers with Robert Mitchum,and for the record I bought them as he didnt have the right money on him at the time.:)
