Another old friend...
592201
This is another of the books in my library that I find myself thinking about, and coming back to, regularly.  It's just good writing, to begin with, and offers many evocative phrases to help readers name their everyday experiences of the sacred... "Universal firsthand realizations of Oneness" is just such a phrase, regularly confirmed in my daily rounds.  A very wise book.

another one of my favorite singers...  I played my cassette of this album back in the 80's and wore it out as well as wearing out my cd.

I love the series, so what's not to love about the individual episodes.  The three guys have been friends since childhood and now in their senior lives are still friends.  Lots of laughs from dear old Compos, who always seems to get the brunt of whatever the three of them cook up.

What can I say? I'm a Harry Bosch fan and have been since the very beginning. Harry is one of those iconic characters who seems like an old friend after awhile. Connelly has done a nice job of "aging" Harry as the years have gone by. I just hope Michael Connelly keeps him around, at least for a few more stories.

Just one more favorite of albums I recently replaced. Sounds great as ever, and I'm glad to have found it after all these years!

It's fun to read about characters that you've come to know from previous books.. The adventures that they share are entertaining and somewhat educational.  I look forward to new material when it becomes available.

He never fails to disappoint.  The only thing that has changed over the years is the pitch of his voice.  I like some of his earlier music because of the soft sweet tones he emits.  This is one of those oldies that he keeps in his repertoire for his audiences.  The song is the same, but the current backup vocals and band have changed in style.

Excellent again, my second time around since it first came out. Like meeting a new friend and an old friend and enjoying them both.

... doesn't mean I have to abandon his earlier, fun music. Whenever I need a trip down memory lane, I cue it up and forget that I have kids and remember that I was one once. Great work by a continually evolving author.

When my old high school friend, Tommy, whom I hadn't seen in years, asked me during a chance meeting on the street, "Do you still listen to the Divine Miss Judy?"  I knew immediately whom he meant.  Judy Henske.  We listened to her back in the 60s and I still do.  Over and over.  She's timeless and incomparable. She may have begun in the folk era, but she's far more blues and jazz than folk.  Her "new" albums, Loose in the World and She Sang California, now themselves more than a decade old, found her in fine voice.  I hear now she's blind, but maybe there'll be one more studio album if we're very lucky.  In the meantime, this compilation is a fine introduction to a true original.  Due to its rarity, it's not cheap anymore, but it's worth it.  Then buy the albums mentioned above.  You won't be disappointed.  God bless Miss Judy.

I was recently happily reunited with both Marchin' Already and Moseley Shoals which I listened to a lot a few years back. I could live without several tracks on Moseley Shoals, but everything here earns its place. Reading the lyrics off the sleeve wasn't the revelation I'd hoped, but hey they still work in an impressionistic sort of way :) Is the style derivative? Well, I guess so, but the tunes are still great, so who cares. If another album this good came along I'd buy it.

A good companion to "With The Old Breed."  Not as gritty, but pretty well done.

Just like old times again.  It's good to see Salvatore going back to the companions...and that old style of unbelievably descriptive writing!!

I just love this band..bought these records back in the sixties, saw them live in Boston then, and just this July in Norfolk, CT. They are as wonderful as ever! ..so musically talented and funny,entertaining and charming to boot!

It has been way too long since we got to follow along with our favorite burglar (excuse me, bookstore owner) and his lesbian sidekick Carolyn the dog groomer. Their adventurers are always enthralling and amusing. Even the police appreciate his class.  Hopefully there will be more, but I guess I can always go back and reread Block's previous books again.  One can always hope that there will be more.

I know, four stars...give me a break, will ya? Two of my favorite musicians got together one time, or, one last time, for this project was the last one they made with just the two of them playing every instrument. And, now, they are both in a different stream of time, jamming away, no doubt, on an unbelievably well-lit place where nothing goes out of tune or runs shy of inspiration. My best thought is that they will dwell in perpetual light. Meanwhile, you guys who don't own this title yet, find this disc, and enjoy it to the max. I'll let you post the 5-star review. It was recorded and released in 1988. My first wife even liked it. I recall her asking me, "Is THAT Allan Holdsworth??" She wasn't a huge fan, obviously. Other things worked out for us both, but I made sure I got to keep most of my record collection, especially the "H" Section!! I guess I 'nicked one star from it because of "999". The next year, 1989, Beck released a kind of similar disc that was produced by Holdsworth. I wish they'd kept at it. I really wish that this week!
