P Is For

P is for PAID!!! I got a check!!! I treated myself to some new music - first one was Lucinda William's new release - I pre-ordered thru Amazon - it doesn't arrive until March but since I have all her other works, this was a no-brainer - especially since she's found her slutty voice again -





Another P for purchase was the new Amos Lee



Mumford and Sons was another




Trampled By Turtles was another - I know I've shared it here before but.....




This working again is AWESOME!!!

M Is For

M is for Metallica - saw this post from NPR on Friday and it lodged in my head - I've always been a fan - so here are some M's



THIS is THE most powerful M song - IMHO - I actually own the paperback that inspired this one - I can still picture it on the bookshelf in my old bedroom -



Of course, I love this one - I can't embed it - but here is a Thin Lizzy song M did - and here is a Thin Lizzy version- RIP Phil L! - I could have embed'ed it but Blogger was fighting me so I did the link to be safe!

Another M is MONDAY - and come Monday, I hope life will FINALLY get back on track for me -

Please cross paws and fingers!

Cheers!

BTW, this was Friday's glass - think I'll be snagging more for the price

P Is For

P is for Phil - today is a very big day - maybe NOW he'll get some of the recognition due him - I know from the FolkDJ ListServ and the Phil Ochs Yahoo Group I'm part of SO many are looking forward to the release of a film about Phil - first a piece about an award presented to him - to be followed by some examples of his work - I've shared others before - tried to pick out some others for this post -

















From what I've read, if you can to see this, DO IT ! ! !

Here are assorted links about it -

One from CommonDreams.org

Another from a blog about Phil - The Life of a Rebel

A link to The New York Times piece about the film

As I've put this post together, I've been listening to his masterpieces - so sad to hear his words from so long ago ringing true now - sadly, I don't think we as a society will EVER get it -

Thanks to S I know about Phil - and if I can share him with just one more person, I'll be happy -
