Playlist
As of this evening, I've loaded 2,650 songs onto the iTunes player built into my iBook--a total of eight days, 19 hours and 45 minutes' worth of music. These are the ones to which I listened as I worked on today's blog:(1) Del McCoury, "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" (a wonderfully hardbitten bluegrass-style cover version)
(2) John Scofield with Medeski, Martin, and Wood, "A Go Go" (super-hip jazz à la Booker T. and the MGs)
(3) Benno Moiseiwitsch, Mendelssohn-Rachmaninoff A Midsummer Night's Dream Scherzo (one of the all-time great pieces of virtuoso piano playing, recorded without rehearsal in a single take)
(4) Pat Metheny, "Midwestern Night's Dream"
(5) Rosemary Clooney, "Do You Miss New York?" (my favorite Dave Frishberg song)
(6) R.E.M., "Radio Free Europe" (the Hib-Tone single version--much cooler)
(7) Paul Desmond and Jim Hall, "Any Other Time" (thank you, Marc Myers, for reminding me how good this Desmond tune is)
(8) Joan Baez, "Love Is Just a Four-Letter Word" (and thank you, Bob Nelson, for loaning me this album 35 years ago)
(9) The Band, "The Weight"
(10) Jean-Pierre Rampal, Hindemith Flute Sonata (first movement)
Happy listening!
