15 yr old daughter got an iPod Shuffle for Xmas. She's agreed to my
iPod Challenge.
I get to load her iPod with my choice of music once a week or month
(we haven't settled on time frame yet) starting in February, for as
long as she wants me to do so...
We did a mini trial over the weekend, and yesterday she accosted me in
the shop and said "Dad! WHAT have you DONE to me? You made me like
JUGBAND music! AUGGHHH!"
Heh. She's a Great Kid (TM)
I'd loaded some R. Crumb and the Cheap Suit Serenaders... LOL!
Add the following to my suggestions:
The Roches
Wide Mouth Mason
Warren Zevon
Tito Puente
Texas Chainsaw Orchestra (OBWW)
Sonny Rawlins

Mike Morgan and The Crawl
Lucinda Williams
Long John Baldry

I liked KD back in the early days, with the Reclines, when she was on
Jack Webster's show talking about being the reincarnation of Patsy and
wearing hornrim glasses with no lenses. But since then? The woman has a
beautiful voice, but there's no *soul* in it.
Speaking of a light voice... Have you ever listened to Blossom Dearie?
And yes, that's her real name.

I dunno... I kinda go all over the place these days. Stan Kenton, Dave

I used to listen to Wagner (non operatic!) while spinning wood on my
lathe until attempts to conduct "Der Fleigander Hollander" (please
pardon the spelling!) almost led to a nasty accident with my 3/8 bowl
gouge. It did make a pretty neat baton, though.
When I am feeling a little rough, a little behind on my work, and a
little irritated with things, it's Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, George
Jones, etc., the traditional country and now some of it called
"Americana". NO FUCKING HAT music. When I start to catch up and I can
see it's under control, it's Paula Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Marcia Ball,
Teri Hendrix. This works great out on a jobsite.
But when the day goes long, and I know I am doomed to be on the job
until 1,2, or 3 in the morning I go to my roots, the guys that have
been with me on countless jobs. Out comes Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The
Doors, STP and occasionally some Soundgarden.
I don't know how many times I have put on Quadrophenia and timed my
late night work to finish at the end of the album; too many to count.
Still after all these years and all those listenings, I never tire of

I was fishing in a small lake in our neighborhood one Saturday morning
a few years ago. There are several homes on the lake and, at one of
the homes, a gentleman was working in the backyard while listening to
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. I commented on how nice it was to hear that on
a quiet Saturday morning and he responded that the local classical
music station was all he listened to.
A few weeks later I was back on the lake and, as I approached the
aforementioned homeowner's yard, I heard the strains of the latest
Garth Brooks or some other hat act recording coming from the radio.
The gentleman came around the house, saw me, and quickly switched the
radio to the classical station. His wife, who was out on the dock,
just looked at me and rolled her eyes. "He thinks he's impressing the
neighbors listening to that. As soon as he gets back in the house he
puts on those old George Jones LPs."
I would suggest that you give the late Stan Rogers a listen:

Look for Charlie Musselwhite, John Hammond in that vein. Jimmy Rogers
(the blue yodler, not Honeycomb), Hank Williams Sr., Merle Haggard, Hank
Snow, Kitty Wells, Reba McIntire, Emmy Lou Harris, Bela Bartok, Mozart,
Mendellsohn (sp), Brubeck (Take 5), Miles Davis (Kinda Blue), on and on...
If you like Choral Music, pick up a CD by Chanticleer, my favorite men's
chorus ever. Russian? Try Dmitri Bortnyansky "Sacred Concertos", Vol4
(if Concerto 24 doesn't get your blood moving, you are dead) and "Agnus
Dei" by the Choir of New College, Oxford (Ave Verum Corpus). These
should be played rather loud.
Mariachi Mexico and Mariachi Vargas are great and good fun, especially
with a Pacifico or two. Anyway, that's enough for now.

Not bad.

Start your day with Copeland's, "Fanfare For The Common Man".
In fact, it might be interesting to do one day with all the music from
Copeland's stuff for the Martha Graham ballet.
"Appalachian Spring" is a sure winner.
On day two I would fire up Dvorak's, "New World Symphony". A tasty
piece that will hook you firmly into the work ethic.
I particularly like the brothers Gershwin, but I would save them for
the weekend.
The Holderlin/Nietzsche/Strauss piece, "Also Sprach Zarathustra",
would be a wonderful way to start a Wednesday.
If you play, " The Ride Of The Valkyrie's", at lunchtime, you will be
invigorated for the whole afternoon.
A Thursday is a good time for a bit of Beethoven. I would recommend,
"The Ode To Joy", a joint effort of Messrs. Schiller and Beethoven,
for your buckup after lunch.
Friday is a prefigurement of the weekend and thus deserves a
celebratory sort of music. If you are not into Mozart, I would go for
ZZ Topps, "Sharp Dressing Man", but what do I know.

Nope, way more "swing" than that ... the "Hot Club of France" in the 20's,
with Stephane Grapelli on violin and Django on guitar. (Closest modern would
be David Grisman's 'dawg music' in the 70's and 80's). I've got just about
everything Django and Stephane did in mp3 format and most of those who
followed in their footsteps (just checked iTunes on this computer and got
635 tunes typing in "django").
With almost 8000 tunes on the shop iPod, I get tired of listening to one
genre continuously, so it may be John Prine today, SRV tomorrow, and
occasionally even a Spanish lesson thrown in (you can talk to yourself in
the shop and no one gives a shit or will be coming after you with a strait
jacket).

Anything done well. From Flying Neutrinos to Cab Galloway, Loreena
McKennitt, Al Green...and so on...anything.
Live concerts I paid for in the last cpl of years include Tragically
Hip, David Bowie, Detroit Symphony. I even like some of my 12-year-old
daughter's music.... although it's not often.
Keb' Mo' got it..all his CD's. Got some Albert Collins and SRV (Saw SRV
in Montreal and Toronto on several occasions.)
So..thanks for the tips: James Cotton, Mississippi John Hurt & Kubek. I
only recognize Cotton, got a little of his stuff...I'll be huntin' down
your suggestions.
Again, thanks.

Well, Nailshooter41, *IF that's your real name*, nobody can hit a note
in the middle like KD Lang. Rides her Harley, smokes cigars, rolls her
own tampons, and then sings with a sensitivity that is so amazing, it
boggles the unboggable.
I mean, how can a voice that is so accurate, so rock-solid, be so light?
A friend of mine e-mailed me today to tell that Alanis Morissette was
going to be on Leno. I watched it. She's really become very well honed.
Another amazing talent.
Now, having said all that... I can't stand either one of them, even
though I can appreciate their abilities. Kinda like the rabbi who
performs a circumcision with a Scary Sharp (TM) izmel, quickly and
expertly. You got to tip your hat to the guy, but would you buy the

I am familiar with Grapelli. My dad has some of his stuff on vinyl
(maybe even lacquer). A very unique sound, hard not to recognize.

I guess you guys wouldn't be interested in any of my Ministry,
Rammstein, Alter Bridge, or Avenged Sevenfold discs? Hey! I don't mean

This has nothing to do with your list, but you said you wanted wide
horizons. :)
Tom Waits -- he cannot be put into any category (early to be safe, late
if you are attracted to twisted genius)
Django Reinhardt -- Gypsy Jazz (and any kinda gypsy jazz orchestra if
you like wild east euro flavored upbeat melancholy)
Moldy Peaches -- pop indy? (sweet and childish talent)
Ween -- pop indy?
Radiohead -- indy
