Wish I could convey the overwhelming scent of bluebonnets. This was in Austin a couple of weeks ago.

Mr. Mooney!

Original soundtrack to "Hair" on the right. "Sweet Baby James" on the left. The others I need to get my glasses.

Seeking the Mystical Inside the Music

Also, I'll mention that the String Quartets are a bit slim on "special" performers - even with people like Anthony Davis or Thomas Buckner and you might have to have a hankering for Shostakovich as they sometimes fall over that line at times.

Yeah, these are tough ones to compare, because he's just been on fire in his consistency for a long time now. The Chicago Symphonies has been out for almost two and a half years and the other two are just under two years old and they still find themselves being played around here - mostly because once you get where he's coming from beforehand, you can just nestle yourself into a comfy position with drink of choice and envelop yourself in that mix of sound meets understanding (and sometimes awe). Really looking forward to the album next month about Central Park with Amina Claudine Myers.
