In an effort to diffuse antagonistical feelings, I think we can all agree that music is the best thing in the world (excluding your child's face on Christmas morning!).
I would suggest a couple of rules.
1st-We don't argue about the tastes of others. We can say why we don't like it, but no arguing over the definition of "is" 
That's it!
Happy Belated New Year to Everyone I have learned so much from!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Billy: Good idea buddy !! It has become a little testy around these here parts lately. I for one agree about children's faces being the best thing in the world. There is nothing remotely close and never will be. How |

While Christmas shopping for the munchkin, Daddy heard a tune being played at Borders. Boy, it was so good, Daddy thought to himself, "this is just the thing for a 7 year old who likes Brittney, et.al." and promptly purchased it, especially when it was determined that it was on sale.
So, I ended up with what may be a classic in the bluegrass genre and is an eminently listenable album for almost anyone (Daddy didn't know munchkin's tastes as well as he thought )
The album is "Allison Krause and Union Station Live" recorded at Louisville, KY. Fantastic vocals and instrumentation. Great songs also, including two that Union Station performed on the "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" soundtrack, which, by the way, is another keeper! |

Billy,
I absolutely LOVE anything by Allison Krause. It's a bit of nostalgia for me, because when my mom first heard some of the songs, they made her cry - she knew all of the songs by heart because they had been ones that my granddaddy had sang to her and her brothers and sisters as a kid. That side of the family could've been extras in the movie...good stuff.

Hi, all:
I saw a CD in a way-out store a few days ago that has a copy of Screaming Lord Sutch's Sixties LP that contains his song "Jack the Ripper." I was very tempted. Does anyone know if it is worth listening to as anything other than as a Ripper collectible? I can't remember hearing anything by Screaming Lord Sutch while I lived in England in the Sixties but did know of him by reputation--usually when he lost his deposit when he ran for Parliament and lost running for the Monster Raving Looney Party!
All the best

Hey Chris,
I might be mistaken as I don't have my vinyl collection handy, but I believe the disc features guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (later of Deep Purple) and keyboardist Nicky Hopkins (sessionman, most notably for the Stones). Might be interesting if picked up on the cheap!

Hi, Sir Bob:
Okay, thanks for that thought, I'll see if anyone else has an idea about it then maybe dive in!
All the best

Hi Chris.
If you are looking for songs about Jack, then check out "The Ripper" by Judas Priest. A great song. It's on the Sad Wings Of Destiny album from about 1977ish. Easy enough to find on CD, and I've found it on MP3 sites around the web.
Cheers

Dear Chris,
I downloaded the Screaming Lord Such song and is purely of novelty value, hearing it once was enough for me! |

Whatho all,
Those quiet madrigal singers Black Widow made a track based on the Ripper (I believe). I think it was called "Mary Clark". I do not have the right album in my collection (I only have their first "Sacrifice"). Can someone please confirm this?
I keep my CDs alphabetically and Black Widow appear between Black Sabbeth and Kate Bush. Oh bliss!
Cheers, Mark off in seach of a bucket of cold water |

Mark,
It's on their second album, whose name escapes me.
It's appropriate to file them next to the Sabbs, IMHO.
