Desk Full of Digits

25 Sep

It seems I spend a lot of my time organizing stuff around the house, a sure sign that I have too many things or not enough organization. Every now and then, a stack of CDs will accumulate from one place and another, without much rhyme or reason.”Stacks of wax” is much more lyrical but this is simply a random desk full of digits.

Steely Dan – Brooklyn One of my all-time favorite Dan’s.
Oliver Nelson – Elegy For A Duck How can you not be intrigued?
Mary Karlzen – Everybody’s Sleeping Ever heard of her? Great record.
Joe Cocker – Feelin’ Alright The classic Mad Dogs And Englishmen version.
New Riders Of The Purple Sage – Glendale Train Somewhere I have a picture of Peter Dawson and me, beer in hand, as I introduced him at club I used to book.
Londonbeat – No Woman, No Cry I kind of like this version.
Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit Smells like a band I never really cared for much. Must’ve been something my wife was listening to.
Robert Randolph – Soul Refreshing Such a happy song.
Nilsson – Subterranean Homesick Blues Great version from the Pussy Cats album, featuring John Lennon and Jim Keltner.
Peter Mayer – The Play A great spiritual folk song, from a guy whom I discovered when he played at our church.
Led Zeppelin – What Is And Should Never Be Everybody has a Zep fave…this is one of mine.

    Thank God – someone else who doesn’t like Nirvana. And here I thought I was the only one.

    Oh, Peter Mayer is quite wonderful. “Now Touch The Air Softly” is utterly gorgeous.

    And Brooklyn is in my top 10 of Dan songs.

    “What Is And What Should Never Be” is one of my Zeppelin faves, too.

    I’m just discovering your site and really enjoty it. Keep up the great work. “The Letter” is also great off “Mad Dogs and Englishmen”.
