Hey, C-flat: Good to see you. I actually pulled out a gospel CD this morning and had to do just that... try to figure out why I bought it. It was easy to figure out why I hadn't listened to it since I bought it. I bought it in the momentary excitement of an outdoor event where the CD was playing over loudspeakers. After the first five or six tracks, I couldn't believe I bought it because it's the kind of contemporary gospel that does nothing for me. Then, there were three tracks that sounded African... one with a reggae beat, with horns. They really are exciting, but I think I'll pass the CD along to someone who might enjoy all the other tracks that I don't.

Today, I listened to the R.E.M. Murmur album (their first) and really enjoyed it.

Tomorrow, I'll pull out and listen to a folk or blues CD.
