assistant: Rounder has a vast selection of Roots, Blues, Bluegrass, etc.  Green
Linnet is focused on Celtic music.  <grin>
    I think if you'd talk to people who've been touring for a while
you'd find they'd be glad to swap it for home, peace, and quiet.
    To get to the ninety minute performance, you sometimes drive
overnight.  Sleep is a commodity as cherished as privacy.  Food is
whatever you can find when you're hungry.  Everybody seems to get cranky
at the slightest things...
    That sort of "shock jock" appeal lost its novelty for me after the
first week.  How often can one listen to Howard pleading for a hug from
some luscious woman.  Now, to me, he sounds like a horny adolescent who
is on a first name basis with his private parts.
    Why do they always put the garbage on during breakfast?
    Howard just keeps cranking...  If only we could get him off the
Pittsburgh station (he's on our local Modern Rock / Alternative /
Anything Ali wants to play station).
    Ah, the smell of freshly printed money!
    No.  Thanks anyway.  <grin>
    I like it, this one isn't as rushed as her first one and it shows.
Very simple music with great voice and lyrics.
    Haven't heard of the Teletubbies or "Perfect Day".  Should we be
grateful?
    Oh oh!
    It would seem bad taste in music has escaped America and is now
affecting people worldwide.
    Do you remember that hideous purple dinosaur which so captured
children's hearts and minds five years ago?  <shudder>
    Commercial pablum.  Childish guano.
    You must have real trouble sleeping after nightmares like that!
