Doing some early dinner prep and “Harvest Moon” comes on, resulting in tears. Remembering loved ones and friends and thinking about Ukraine, hoping this will pass and we won’t see WW3.
Neil Young is a badass. Thank you, man.

Calexico has a new album coming up so I’ve been listening to their back catalog and also the first single! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMeinq7I__w
I have also been rediscovering my hometown classical music station, WBJC, which I think has above average programming

Saw Calexico open for the Decemberists
a few years ago.
I think that’s the last live music I’ve seen.
Both were tremendous.
The Decemberists singer’s mom lives here in Ashlandia so that was fun

As I have mentioned (probably more than anyone wants to hear), I am in my very late 60s & spent much of my teen years (& some afterwards) going to concerts/performances. I’ve seen many, many concerts, from Jimi Hendrix to Miles Davis, from the Dead to… well, you get the idea. Hundreds. And I like talking about music. So, last night at our favorite restaurant we were, as usual, sitting at the bar & eating our dinner while talking to the bartender and those sitting around us. A woman in her early 20s took an empty seat next to my wife & talked about a concert she had just attended at St Ann’s, a nearby church/venue where we have, in the past, seen concerts by Elvis Costello, Marianne Faithful (live recording of this, titled “Blazing Away” – if anyone’s interested) and others. Well, we didn’t know the young performer she had seen (no surprise there) but the reason for this post is to decry the fact that there was absolutely no overlap in her music knowledge/experience and ours. She not only didn’t know the folks we had seen at St Ann’s, but she didn’t recognize any names I threw out there either (well, she heard a little of the Beatles). However, she could rattle off tons of names I didn’t have a clue about, so I have no doubt that she was into listening to music. Stuff that was way past my prime listening years (ie; Nine Inch Nails) were way before hers. So… in answer to this thread’s question “what are you listening to”? the answer is simple. I’m listening to the voice in my head telling me I’m old. And the one of my parents (2 voices actually) asking me how I could not know about Benny Goodman and the Big Bands.
Rant over. Thank you for listening.

Fix that! I’m your age, listen to everything and plan to do so until I drop! Appreciation is learned-ageless.
What’s on rotation lately for you?

I find that I “package” types of music for a couple of weeks. Its a mood thing & usually subconscious. Actually, these past few weeks have been mostly about singers with voices that accentuate meaningful lyrics. So, in addition to the Marianne Faithful stuff (there’s a version of her doing “Working Class Hero” on YouTube that’s incredible), I’ve had a lot of “folk” music playing (Tom Paxton, Joni Mitchell, Van Ronk, early Jackson Browne, Ritchie Havens…). Before that, it was more guitarist oriented, with Clapton, Garcia, Leo Kottke, Renbourne, and a bunch of blues guys. Bonnie Raitt seems to have snuck into both. And so has Blood, Sweat & Tears 1st album (w/Kooper in the lead, before David Clayton Thomas ruined the band). And you?

Some of the greats! Seen them all live. Welcome! Music is my food and trade. Never wasted on me. Right now I’m digging playlists others create to expand my ears.
Friday Fix thru Spotify is the fastest knob turner but I also get playlists emailed to me thru industry folks.
