| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? Yikes! I love Dylan and Mitchell but after reading the above posts I now feel kinda cheap and dirty, not to mention foolish, musically uneducated and just plain dumb and "undefined" 'cause I enjoy listening to all of Patricia Barber's albums. If I... | |
| Acappella/Vocal Jazz/Gospel recommendations? If you can find it, get the Fairfield Four "Standing in the Safety Zone" CD. Best acapella vocals I've heard on digital. | |

| Audiogon "SACD's TO DIE FOR" list Try Jennifer Warnes: "The Well" | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? Bob Dylan's Highway 61 and the Temptations Greatest Hits (I think). Still a Dylan fan and am soon going to a reunion concert of the local R&B bands that played our high school dances. Some things never change. | |

| The Best Live album Try Tom Waits - "Nighthawks at the Diner". You can practically smell the cigarettes and booze.John Prine - "Live" is well worth seeking out. As is the Cowboy Junkies - "The Trinity Sesssions" - no audience but recorded live in Trinity Church, Toro... | |
| Talkin' bout YOUR generation... When I was 11 in 1961 Elvis was singing "Little Sister" and "Marie's the Name of His latest Flame" along with the Everly Brothers and Neil Sedaka and Pat Boone. The British invasion had yet to happen and Dylan wasn't yet on the radar (at least not... | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? The Temptations: Greatest Hits (?) and Bob Dylan: Highway 61. I think the Dylan may have been first but I'm no longer certain. | |
