| First song to "Blow You Away"... I liked many songs previously, but the first song that made me pull over to the side of the road was John Stewart's "Mother Country". I don't know how it made it to AM but I became a John Stewart fan that day. When I got the album, California Bloo... | |
| I there someone else like Jackie Leven? Thanks for the replies. I have enjoyed Nick Drake, Tom Rush and Eric Anderson since the 70's. I have also tried and liked Nick Cave's Boatman's Call and Murder Ballads. I have heard of, but not heard John Martyn. I will try to listen to John Marty... | |
| Best way to find rattle in Talon Khorus? Thanks to all for the feedback, especially Millerdson. I got the speaker open and found that Talon had never screwed down the rear facing woofer. I got some woodscrews and fixed the problem. I am sorry that Talon has become so unresponsive. They w... | |
| What Irish music will you be playing on St Pat's? I agree with the Popes, but I'd include their "Holloway boulevard. Also I'll play Van's Irish Heatbeat, Christy Moore, Susan McKeown, and the Pogues and Shane MacGowan's "The Snake". | |
| OK time for Christmas Music I always end up playing John Fahey's "The New Possibility: John Fahey's Guitar Soli Christmas Album", Handel's Messiah- the Karl Richter version and recently "Wolcum Yule" by the Anonymous Four. | |
| What is your favorite Greg Brown CD? The Poet Game is available on CD. I have a Red House CD 68 of it. I believe that everyone I know has liked " In the Dark with you". Any of his CDs is worthwhile. Two interesting CDs of covers by him are Greg Brown and Bill Morrissey "Friend of Min... | |

| Where do I go from Eva Cassidy? For music with something different, I would also try Julie Miller's My Blue Pony and Broken Things (a bit of a little girl's voice at times). Her husband, Buddy Miller, is a maker of good "country" music. I agree with Linda Thompson, Dreams Fly Aw... | |
