“Without music, life would be a mistake.” *
by chuckofish
A lot of people in my family are extremely musical. I am not one of them. Oh, I sang in the choir at school and I still like to belt out a hymn at church. But that’s about it.
But I know what I like and I listen a lot.
As you know, I occasionally even go to a concert. In fact, in February I have tickets to see Josh Ritter and Gregory Alan Isakov at the Sheldon here in my flyover town. I am pretty darn excited. Daughter #2 gave me a Josh Ritter CD last year and two more (!) just arrived in the mail–oh boy!
Gregory Alan Isakov is only the opening act, but I am mostly excited to see him. I have blogged about him several times, so you know how I feel.
I have also been listening to Love Has Come For You, Steve Martin’s new CD with Edie Brickell, which daughter #2 gave me for Christmas. I really like it. It is obvious that after all these years and plenty of fame and honors galore, all Steve really wants to do is play the banjo.
And since her birthday is coming up, I thought it was only appropriate to load some Dolly in my car CD player. She is still the best.
Also I have been listening to my young friend Andrew Hunt and his band Johnny Appleseed:
Wake up, Nashville!
What have you been listening to?
*Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols, or, How to Philosophize With the Hammer

Listened to ’60’s music on XM on my drive to Atlanta yesterday…I think it’s my favorite decade for music, not dated but none of the bang bang that came along later.
Dylan is still the Man in my book.
I’m so jealous of your getting to see Gregory Alan Isakov! And, of course, you are so right about music — who could live without it?
I know! I’ll be sitting in the balcony on the far left, but what the heck! I thought I’d go for it!
[…] Austin, TX soon. He will not be with his band Johnny Appleseed, but some other guys. Boy, wouldn’t it be great to see that concert? Okay, Dwight may not be […]
