I once heard of a woman who followed the Dead for awhile, selling homemade spaghetti at the shows to pay her way. Though the Dead are not my taste, I would have liked to have experienced the atmosphere at one of their shows, back in the day. ~~~~~~~~~ from "My Shining Hour", sung by Ella, Diana, Frank, and any singer who knows the good stuff This will be my SHINING HOUR Calm and happy and bright And in my dreams, your face will flower Through the darkness of the night next: shining This version was my introduction to the tune, sung by 7-months-pregnant-with-twins Diana Krall, played by D.K. and the great Marian McPartland. Scroll down and click on the title to hear it. If you have time, the whole show is *sigh* wonderful. I've listened to it many times: www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=14533589Here's Streisand's take on that lovely song. Jazz babies like the band to play it hot. But Barbara is savoring every bit of that gorgeous melody, and those tender lyrics.

Diana Krall is married to Elvis Costello? Interesting mix - especially if they ever did a duet. Kinda interesting too (to me, anyway), that just recently LX asked me about Barbara Streisand - there was a reference to her in song lyrics, a movie, or television show (I forgot which), and LX had no idea who Barbara is. She also asked just the other day who John Lennon was; he's, of course, referenced in many songs (the latest being a new one from Lil Wayne), and again she didn't know. Weird to think that entertainers who were/are known world-wide are lost on younger generations.
from "Goodbye" by Mudvayne
Remember That nothing here seems typical I'll be the wish upon a star I've lost something so magical And gone so far Just remember When everything is difficult I'll be shining from afar When it feels like things have gone away I'll see you again

It's funny you should mention that Phalon - about LX not knowing who those artists are. I got yet another copy of the email talking about what the kids graduating high school and entering college never experienced and don't know. Next time I get it I'll post it.
Irresistable ~ The Corrs

Nice song, Gams. Nice torso on the vocalist, too! from "Blanket On The Ground" by Billie Jo Spears This was considered quite a racy song back in 1975. I think it would probably raise a bit of a ruckus if it was a new song today. Come and look out through the window That big old moon is shining down Tell me now don't it remind you Of a blanket on the ground Remember back when love first found us We'd go slipping out of town And we'd love beneath the moonlight On a blanket on the ground Just because we are married Don't mean we can't slip around So let's walk out through the moonlight And lay the blanket on the ground Oh remember how excited We used to get when love was young That old moon was our best buddy We couldn't wait for night to come Now you know you still excite me I know you love me like I am Just once more I wish you'd love me On a blanket on the ground I'll get the blanket from the bedroom And we'll go walking once again To that spot down by the river Where our sweet love first began Just because we are married Don't mean we can't slip around So let's walk out through the moonlight And lay the blanket on the ground

"His knuckles went white with desire..." - sounds like something from one of those bodice-ripper romance books. But I know it's really, really not.

Hey Step, you know who is a huge Foreigner fan? Bluegrass superstar Alison Krauss. Said she once saw Lou Gramm in an airport, and was too starstruck to approach him.

A fill in the blank romance novel. Now there's an idea! I bet the folks with White Zombie would be so proud. While we're talking about romance novels, I must, once again, recommend a blog that makes me laugh: . (duh - type an i for the asterisk). I don't read romance books. But the girls who blog there are funny writers, who do, apparently, make their living writing romance novels. Here's an entry reviewing book covers. Click "More, more, more..." to see the pics. Be sure and read the visitors' comments, at the bottom. They're funny, too.

I think you listen to a little country, Step, so you may recognize this from Alison Krauss. She was a big, big star in bluegrass (and a favorite of most every star in Nashville) when she recorded this for a 1995 Keith Whitley tribute album.
That year at the CMAs, at age 24, she won Female Vocalist, Horizon Award, and Single of the Year, and became a household name. Over the years, Alison has won 26 Grammy awards, more than any female in history, has sold more than 11 million records, and has collaborated with many major stars in various genres, including Vince Gill, James Taylor, Alan Jackson, Shania Twain, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Robert Plant, and Yo Yo Ma. She is also known for her duet with Brad Paisley, "Whiskey Lullaby". And she is absolutely magical in concert. See her if you get the chance.
Here's something with a little more tempo and soul from AK:
And a cookin' instrumental:
~~~~~~~~
from "You Can't Hide Beautiful" by *sigh* Aaron Lines
