Funny you should ask........
Jim bought me three for my birthday; The Ballad of John Axon, another radio ballads- I've nearly got them all now. Rags, Reels and Airs, by Dave Swarbrick, Martin Carthy and Diz Disley, because the vinyl had got so bad I couldn't hear the tunes, and "Galore" the best of Kirsty MacColl. I treated myself to Eva Cassidy yesterday, the "Songbird" one.
The CD player packed up today, so I'm playing them on the PC. "Grim Fandango" will have to wait!!!
Cheers, Bron.

Okay. It looks like I I'm in the good company with those who have the more eclectic tastes.

Currently in the 2nd 'pooter CDROM drive is the soundtrack CD for Babylon 5. (amazing to dance to!)(The first CDROM drive has the game disc for Age of empires II--The Conquerors permanently installed)

In the boom box is Beethoven's ninth. (I prefer the Emperotr suite but it's not here with me atm.

Those that get shuttled between the boombox and the CD player in "Beep the Jeep" are:

John Renbourn Ship of Fools

Phoebe Snow Phoebe Snow

Van Morrison Moon Dance (I think that's the title)

James Taylor James Taylor's Greatest Hits

Don Bray decisions (An Orillia folkie, as some of you know)

Mose Scarlett (can't remember the title, but it has "The Moon Is a Silver Dollar", "My Walkin' Cane", and ends withthe delightful "Hobo's Lullaby")

CSNY's latest Looking Forward

Doc Watson Song For Little Pickers

Rush Hold Your Fire

Beatles Anthology

The Pokemon Movie soundtrack (never saw the movie, but the soundtrack is fun to dance to)

What a mix, eh?

Steve - when I imagined your CD player on "random play" some of the combinations I came up with were mind blowing.

I was thinking of starting a thread today about what is currently in the 6 pack in the trunk of my car. I just re-organized my Cd's the other day and loaded some I haven't listened to in awhile. It struck me that my musical tastes may be too diverse, bordering on outright weird. Rick's post comforted me though. Here's what's in there now.

The Velevet Underground from their box set,

Jimi Hendrix, Live at the Fillmore

Robert Johnson, Disc II of the Complete recordings,

Johnny Winter And, Live

Hank Williams, Disc two from the Singles Box

Roy Acuff's Greatest hits.

Well, last night I put on Ricky Skaggs' "Bluegrass Rules," mostly to listen to Brian Sutton's guitar breaks. I still think he's lying. That stuff can't be done on the guitar.

Then I listened to Tom Russell's "The Man From God Knows Where," for about the thousandth of what will eventually be quite a few thousand times.

Just moved on from "English Country Music" Topic TSCD607, via "Classic Folk Fiddle" Wooded Hill HILLCD24, to "Song of the Road" Topic TSCD802.

The first's a collection of recordings made in the Bulwers' cottage in Shipdham, Norfolk from 1965. Second's a variety of good folk fiddling. Next is one of the BBC "Radio Ballads" written & produced by Ewan MacColl in the early '60s.

All worth the mony!

Cheers!

Get some old stuff that's now on CD, like Pete Seeger's Children's Concert at Town Hall, or Cisco Houston sings Woody Guthrie, or any Weavers, or something to play to the baby... might as well start the lad off right, right?

I can't get music onto my CD player these days, since all I have is the computer CD drive and my twins got some cd games for $mas and now Toy Story Activity Centers are what tend to be on mine!

..and for Celtic then Sorcha Dorcha, Ballad of Am Diallou etc.,available from Larry the Plugster(InObu) is great stuff.

Just bought a compilation ( well, actually Micca bought it for me) called "And We'll All Have Tea", featuring Richard Thompson, The Watersons, Maddy Prior, Martin Carthy etc.etc.It's got lots of stuff I hadn't heard before ( unusual when you see how many folk cd's I've got) and is really good.Cyril Tawney's The Bold Benjamin and A.L Lloyd's Drunken Maidens stand out for me. It's on Topic Records and well worth the listening to.
