What have you been listening to these five weeks?

Very intersting question, as I realize that my listening habits have changed somewhat. To be totally honest, I've been listening almost exclusively to blues, particularly Missippi delta and hill country blues. Some notable examples: Dark Was the Night, Cold was the Ground by Blind Willie Johnson (if this doesn't move you, you're dead or soulless), anything by Son House, R.L. Burnside's pre-punk music, Leadbelly, and Mississippi John Hurt.

Stuff I dragged back from France this summer: Petrucciani father (guitar) and son (piano) jazz; a ridiculously good street band I heard in Avignon, whose CD I just had to buy;
unfortunately call themselves Que Passa (what do they know from French?...these guys were amazing POLISH guitarists and accordeonist!
Just found a duo of Ian Shaw and Cedar Walton that swings, and a bit of Grappelli in Paris.
See the Yankees last night?
Let's get a spring back in our step, eh guys?

Ditto, cfb, great question, Frogman! Up until this moment, found I'd gravitated [seemingly inexplicably during these recent weeks] to listening to "the sound" of Stan Getz, and in particular, "Cool Velvet Stan Getz and Strings" (Verve), plus some of the Jobim, Gilberto, collaborations. Realize now (by way of F'man's post) that it puts me smack back in that comfy-cozy, safe-haven zone of my parents' living room during those utterly blissful, carefree years that were my 1950's childhood. As well, I've been stuck on Michel Petrucciani's, "Au Theatre des Champs Elysees," one, because I just happened to order it from Amazon prior to the tragic events of 9/11, two, because I find its brilliance beyond words, and last but not least, because of the fact I find the level of beauty in this performance gives rise to a state of melancholia (which here again, by way of this thread, I've come to realize is befitting of the times). BTW, for those unaware, Mr. Petrucciani, three-foot tall, fifty-pound jazz pianist of truly Herculean proportions, died from the debilitating disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, at age 36, in 1999. At any rate, when listening to this body of work, I simply cannot help but reflect upon how blessed we were/are by the existence of this dearly departed genius.

Hi I`ve been listening mostly to 10 yr old praise and worship songs. I couldn`t imagine going through these last 6 weeks without knowing Jesus. Nothing like entering His gates to find the peace that surpasses all our understanding. Good question. dan r

I'd like to apologize to Kelly(a.k.a. cornfedboy) publicly. This is a very thoughtful and sincere thread. I think I may have went a little to far with my slap stick comedy this time.
