I think I've seen this album before but this is the first time hearing it, I think. Bob Lind's voice sounds great at this point.

Also this reminds me of "Now I Taste the Tears."

This is another great album. Sivuca is all over it, too.

I'm a little shocked Henrique isn't better known. He got around in the 60s. I just picked up a Noel Harrison album that he contributes to.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:32pm

Ah. This song is such a classic.

Yes indeed, and an unusual version as well

I was surprise to see that aside from the title track, this album was recorded in LA, with Shawn Phillips on sitar

Have you ever seen the Marfa lights, Danny?

Erica:

Sorry. Had connection problems.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:06pm

I have not. Nor have I sought them out. You have drive out of town to get a good view of the open horizons (where they're spotted).

We have nothing like that around here, unless you count spotting Springsteen in local bars.

Vincent The Soul Chef:

Yeah, my mind was blown just a little bit there...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:28pm
Funky16Corners:

Believe it or not, I found this via The Far Side. Miles and I were watching an old Far Side animated TV special and I was digging the music, which was by Bill Frisell. I started reading up on him and found out about this album, on which he does some pop covers but also some classical stuff, so I grabbed it. I love this cover (and you know I'm not much of a Madonna fan).

Hey WR!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:31pm

I believe Gary Larson is/was an amateur jazz guitarist. The Frisell connection would make sense.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:31pm
Funky16Corners:

I did not know that!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:32pm
Funky16Corners:

If you get the chance, check out the special on Youtube. Very dark, and very true to Larson's vibe
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:33pm

Frisell is one of those rare musicians who changed the way his instrument is played.
(There's a cool documentary on him)

Sem, What ho! Garlic is capricious here, some looks strong others poor.
We planted some taters on Tuesday planning to plant the rest yesterday and opened the curtains to see snow on the ground. An hour later it was all gone making me wonder if I had imagined it. Rotavator has fired up to make digging easier.
Painting nearly done, will be charging admission fee soon to visit!!!
