Magic Moments in listening

More than  thirty years ago, back in about 1980 or so I owned IMF 30's and an Arcam Integrated Amplifier.
During the Blizzard of those years, I listened to Kenny Loggins a bit. No drugs, but a bit of Kentucky Bourbon, I listened to Angiligue, a song on one of Kenny's popular albums. The mix was a cross between magic and studio, showing the best of imagination and audiophile wishes. The result was incredible, enduring and fun for all who listened to this. I listened intently, without agenda, and fell in love during that time, loving both the mix, AND Kenny, who was literally magic to me during that winter. This music was so revealing and wonderful, I've lived in those moments for years. Thanks to Loggins and his magical mixers for this wonderful work... I'll never forget.

Most of my magic moments in listening are while I'm driving.  I keep my iPod in shuffle mode and some tune I haven't heard in ages will come on and knock my socks off.  Maybe I need to hook it up to my home system once in a while.

I’m a rank newbie, but here goes..

Folk :
Eva Cassidy is way up there on my list. I’m into folk quite a bit, and Waylin Jennies sometimes.

Rock :
Recently listened to Eric Clapton (Unplugged) - just awesome acoustics.

World :
I’ve been listening to african and world sounds (mostly via putumayo) - "Reggae from around the world", "Maali" are awesome acoustic recordings.

There are some CDs in my collection that scare me, they’re so good I’m scared I don’t have the preparation to sit down and listen..  Example. by a band called Red Tail Ring "Fall Away blues".. its a haunting album (Eva Cassidy used to occupy this pedestal once).

There’s a turkish one with Sufi music.. Its there sitting among my 100 odd CDs I’ve only listened to it once.. Scary good, literally.

On to Chet Baker these days. 
Unlikely voice, very styled and beautiful Trumpet.
Do yourself a favor and listen to him.
