The local no-commercial classical station has pulled out its begging bowls & since I share monthly already, I need no advertising. So, I grab my big folder of CD’s, pull out a playlist of discs & pile them in a lineup.

First up is Milo, a traveling drum genius who pulled his green bus into T or C for some while where I got to see him every weekend. His music was irresistible for me & I was compelled to dance. I bartered massages with him for his CD’s which didn’t live up to Milo Live.

Next is Eric Clapton’s “From the Cradle,” a recent flea market acquisition. I thought, “why not?” as I’m a fan, but when music is overplayed like his was, I have limited listening capacity. Turned out to be old dig-in & sway blues. One great CD.

A break with Snow Patrol’s “A Hundred Million Suns” – also an unexpected pleasure of upbeat, listenable rock.

A CD of favorites by Josh Groban – a mash from the five CD’s I gave to my neighbor Randy.

Last for tonight is Neil Young & Crazy Horse on “Ragged Glory.” And it might not last. Neil tends to get repetitive with music, the same riffs & lyrics repeated to yawn. But I’ll see what I can tolerate.

Loveya
