What are you listening to?
I turned on the local public radio's classical station this morning for a nice change of pace. It seems to lift my spirits this time of year. :hi:

2. We usually don't have music or anything else on - just what silence can be had.
My middle daughter is the exception. She keeps a classic rock station on almost 24x7 (and sometimes ACTUALLY 24x7), but she keeps her door closed most of the time. It is a little freaky that she knows the songs I grew up with better than I do.

3. A never ending stream of some of the most wretched Christmas music you could ever hear.
Yes, I'm in a mall.

Lots of really thick Christian songs too.

Ugh.

Right now I'm listening to myself hack up a lung. I've got a bad cold and I can't seem to stop coughing. :(

18. A great Houston group
Edited on Sun Dec-20-09 05:27 PM by AllenVanAllen



called The Tontons. They don't have much in the way of youtube videos but they are definitely worth digging into their music.


"Dancing"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6OhAm3_T3k


"Kaleidoscope" in another of my Tonton favorites. :hi:

20. last thing before my just-ended nap...our own lightningandsnow singing on you tube
Edited on Sun Dec-20-09 06:26 PM by abq e streeter
She posted earlier today asking if anyone wanted to hear her sing. I listened to all three songs. A Dar Williams one accompanying herself on mandolin that wasn't recorded as well as the other two where she's actually performing in front of people apparently . On guitar doing a Beyonce song and a Jill Sobule one. She has a very nice voice. If any of you find her post, give her a listen.

Other than that, it's silent in my home ,but soon will be listening to the sounds of NFL football on the TV's in my gym.

22. Howdy, abq!
I was listening a little while ago to All Things Considered on NPR. There was a music segment that made me nauseous. :eyes:

23. Howdy Hippywife....now listening to some rockabilly to wake me up for the gym
Edited on Sun Dec-20-09 06:44 PM by abq e streeter
Paul Burlison , who was the guitar player (along with Grady Martin) of the legendary Johnny Burnette's Rock and Roll Trio. A great remake of Train Kept a-Rollin' ( "we made a stop, in Albuquerque", always love to hear Abq immortalized in song) with Johnny's son Rocky doing a vocal that's that's amazingly close to what his dad sounded like.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df3gMy698lY


p.s. what was the music that made you nauseous? ( may not read your reply for awhile; I'll be out the door in about 3 minutes)

p.s. part two--I hope some others here find lightningandsnow's post and check her out.

26. Tabasco Road
Cajun/Zydeco show for about 10 more minutes then Rock Around the World, a surf/rockabilly kind of show, only tonight it will be his x-mas show - should be some odd obscure stuff on there. He has a pretty wild collection of rockabilly from all over the world.

31. Jason & the Scorchers-Still Standing
Better than I remembered. It's a bit bombastic and overproduced in places, but there are some real gems that take advantage of Jason Ringenberg's high, lonesome vocals.
