After a well-run practice yesterday for this upcoming wedding gig, I am (by golly!) taking a break from listening to:
"A Thousand Years""You and Me""Vida La Vida""Butterfly Waltz""Fools Rush In""Fly Me to the Moon""Yellow""Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring" Pachelbel's "Canon in D" I've been drilling those songs into my head for the last week (particularly the classical pieces for the ceremony) so they'd be easier to access when we finally had rehearsal time.
Our fiddle player gave me a copy of this album yesterday on the way home. Adam Hurt is a banjo visionary, and his skill really shines on a very primitive gourd instrument, fretless, and with a hide head. I imagine gut strings too. Very low tunings. I'm listening up in the shop, and it's spellbinding.
(this is probably not the
"Fire On The Mountain" most familiar to this thread...)
