Book: "Godël, Escher, Bach"... maybe that way I'd actually find time to work my way thru it.

Luxury item: why, this very computer, of course! Need to check the threads every day....

LPs & CDs & tapes..almost any one by Jean Redpath, The first Norman Blake album, a Ravi Shankar album to lull me to sleep at night(it really works!), The Ewan MacColl/A.L. Lloyd Child Ballad collection (if Rick can cheat, so can I), a tape I have (thanks, Art) of Craig Johnson, .....getting hard..maybe Jeanie Robertson, and..."Logan English sings the Woodie Guthrie Songbag"...an LP I foolishly loaned out 25 years ago and never got back...if anyone has a copy, and would make me a tape.....

now, pardon me while I go completely revise that list for the 147th time...
