(6) CD changer in mine.

Currently:

- Chet Atkins and Doc Watson together on one album ("Chet and Doc" - 1979) and apparently out of print --wonderful album!

- A compliation CD I created of all my favourite David Bromberg tunes, along with all my favourite cuts off of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Will The Circle Be Unbroken", with the last track being Steve Howe's performance of "The Clap" off a live YES album

- Bonnie Rait's "Nick of Time" album

- Taj Mahal's "Senior Blues" album with the second half of the disk containing the Allman Brothers "Brothers and Sisters" album

- John Lee Hooker's "Mr. Lucky" album

- a variety of country artists performing Rolling Stone's cover tunes entitled "Stone Country" (better in most cases than the originals.)

about an hour's car journey from Ashwell (Herts) to Milton Keynes (Bucks) so I usually use the time to learn songs by replaying a single tape until the one or two I want are in my mind (and by then I'm fed up with the others).

Subject: RE: What Music is in Your Car Stereo?
From: Mooh

I'm not commuting anymore, thank God, and there's no player on my bicycle, but while I drove every day last summer and fall...

blues compilations, mostly from Aligator Records...classical compilations, mostly baroque with some Holst and Vaughn Williams...lots of Led Zeppelin, mostly the several best-of collections...Stevie Ray Vaughan...Maddy Prior...Sue Foley...Little Feet...Oscar Peterson with Stephan Grapelli...Rolling Stones...Simon Mayor...The Seldom Scene...various folk (singer-songwriter) compilations from samplers and Folk Alliance releases...Rush...Danny Gatton...Roy Buchanan...Loretto Reid and Brian Teheny...Leo Kottke...some choral stuff...

That's all I can think of at the moment.

I do recall sitting at an intersection (waiting for the lights to change in a small town) with the windows open and Simon Mayor's "Buttermere Waltz" blasting away, and my head bopping around to the music, all to the incredulous stares of a gaggle of slack-jawed teenage loiterers. I think I suddenly realized that no matter how I feel, I'm not 18 anymore (or even twice that) 'cause I didn't even have the slightest twinge of self-consciousness. "I'm a boy and I'm a man, I'm 18 and I like it." (Alice Cooper)

Btw, maybe this should be for another thread but, am I alone when I say that traditional music rocks and swings alot harder than rock music does these days? Just a thought.

Peace, Mooh.

From: Crowhugger

Not at all alone, Mooh. Not that I listen to a lot of current rock. You're right on about the beat in folk music. I s'pose my theory about it is that we humans react to rhythm so well that we toe-tap fluidly when many aspects of the rhythm are implied. Perhaps rock tends toward spoon-feeding these days. Some of it at least. Some of the dead white guys had that toe-tap thing down pat... I can't keep still during Messiah.

Several tapes of old old Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem albums; that Alnwick&Tyne one I asked for the lyrics to a while back; Les Compagnons de la Chanson; Les Frères Jacques. That's for me. For the twins, I have several tapes of old old children's songs (Ed McCurdy, Pete Seeger), and one by John Lithgow that is a howl.
I keep the radio buttons saved for NPR, NPR, NPR, the local university station that plays strange stuff, and one regular old station that plays Oldies. But I usually keep in on NPR since my commute tends to be when I get to hear the news anyway.

Our Geezermobile currently has a bluegrass tape made home-style by some people or other, we picked it up in Fancy Gap, Virginia on the way back from South Carolina. The tape label, the songs themselves on the tape, and the j-card in the box-- none of them match.

Great stuff though!

My partner tends to have control over the Tape in the car unless we are on a long trip. I think he's gone back to his childhood. - Family, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band and Black Sabbath. Oh and some Nirvana which we altenate with Classic FM. A few years ago we realised we had to be carefully about what we played in the car when we had the only four year old who knew all the word to The Tubes' White Punks on Dope. We are off to Shetland in the summer so we will all produce compilation tapes and squabble like hell.

Well, I just took out a bunch of CDs that had cuts of mine on them, so I don't have to answer that.

I'm listening to two things, over and over. One is the Lionel Hampton Decca recordings from the 40s. I don't think people appreciate just how good Hampton was, and how important an influence. He's pretty near as important as Louis Jordan in the development of jump blues and rock 'n roll.

Second...more and more into latin music, especially Afro-Cuban. Just picked up a CD reissueof a 1975 ablum of Dizxzy Gillespie and Machito playing compositions by Chico O'Farrill, and I could listen to this one forever. It has the richness of the Miles Davis-Gil Evans collaborations. O'Farrill is one of our greatest, and least recognized, composers...and I trust I don't have to explain hw good Diz and Machito are.

For the longest while, I had Brave Old World's Blood Oranges (klezmer) wedged in the player, stuck in it, but not so that it'd play.

5. Leroy Carr with Scrapper Blackwell
6. W.A. Mozart: Symphonies 40 & 41, Berlin Philharmonic, von Karijan.

I have often wondered how a radio program that shuffled a playlist like this -- with, like, the Swann Sivertones, Sam Cooke, Lefty Frizell, the Mozart horn concerti performed by Dennis Brain, Ray Charles, Merle Haggard, Lightnin' Hopkins, "the river" from the Pastoral Symphony, the Dell-Vikings, and a few dozen others mixed in -- would fare. I would love it; you would never know what was coming next, just that it was going to be GOOD.

Funny you should ask. I have had the same tape in my car stereo for the last 3 years. It is "Singin' in the Bathtub," by R. Crumb and the Cheap Suit Serenaders. It's a good tape, but not THAT good. The tape player is broken. The button I used to push to eject the tape is missing, leaving a square hole. I've tried poking screwdrivers, Popsicle sticks, etc. into the hole, but nothing can make it eject. The tape player doesn't have a rewind or reverse button either. Never did. Any ideas?

Well, they don't go as far as classical, although they do have a classical show on the same station... but everything else. It's called Pirate Joe's Country Music Show and Old Blues and R&B Extravaganzo, and it's hosted by the station owner, who mostly plays music from his own inexhaustible collection of 78s.

Aldus - This is from Tull's official home page Nightcap

The 1st CD is junk if ya ask me, but I really enjoy most of the stuff of the 2nd one!!

And now I'm dying to hear Fairport Conventions version of Cohen's "Closing Time"!! I always though it was a great tune!!

My car stereo got nicked - but we had the last laugh : it didn't work anyway!! I wonder who they flogged it to & whether there were any comebacks. Thieving gits!! However, were I to have a car stereo I'd be listening to Norma Waterson, Eliza Carthy, Show of Hands, & a cd we just got out of the library of unaccompanied traditional english songs. In the absence of such technology I just sing away to my heart's content, pretty much the same material.

Martyn Bennet - Bothy Culture - He's doing some great stuff but always sounds like his sampler arrived in the post yesterday - you know like when you buy a new effects pedal and after a week the rest of the band try to hide it or steal the batteries...... Anyway, fair play 'cause he's doing something different and moving it forwards eh?

Kate Rusby - Cowsong - It's only an ep but a great wee collection of songs. If you listen to her version of Botany Bay, you'll feel like you're 5 again - did they used to sing it at your primary school?

Nic Jones - Penguin Eggs - Well he's just the man isn't he? I also got a great album of hebridean and irish mouth music recentlybut it's a bit frantic for the car. Maybe I'll buy a tractor.......
