Playing music for the joy of it? What a radical thought!
Good musicians — good young musicians — are making fine music these days, even if it’s sometimes hard to get noticed in this hyper-fragmented media world. You may have heard a song or two from tonight’s group, the Lumineers, out of Colorado, (this one has become an ad soundtrack) but they’re consistently good, and they play because they just love the music.
Just watch. It’s infectious.

there always is. There always will be.
Long time ago, I debated with myself which single year I’d pick, if I could only pick music from year to take with me on that Desert Island to listen to. And I came to realize, it’d have to be this year. Because you can never catch up to it in real time–it always takes a while to absorb just how great this or that band/artist really was, doesn’t it?

I agree. I have friends that listen to nothing but “classic rock” or “oldies” music because they say the music today sucks. While I’ll agree a lot of it does (to me) it will be classic one day.
My satellite radio bill for next year came in the mail yesterday. While scraping up the $200 is kinda painful right now, that’s the place (along with FNM) that I get exposure to new music and artists.

josef – hahahaha that must be some tsalagi sign language for ‘there’s

it really is a beautiful language, as opposed to muscoge, which only
about 400 people still speak (we don’t).
Have you heard of the perfessor (in Oklahoma i think) that has proposed
that Muscoge and Old Welsh are similar & possibly related?
Could that be true in your opinion? and would open a can of worms, too

I see you caught the booger fishing, too! Priceless…
As for the languages being related, not so much that linguistically speaking from structure, syntax and grammar so much as from vocabulary. Madoc, Madog ab Owain Gwynedd (Maddox) according to both Welsh and Muscogee and Cherokee tradition sailed to America in the 1100s with several boat loads of colonists. The tradition holds that they were welcomed and mixed with the locals, peacefully. The genetics (DNA) testing going on tends to buttress this. While the skeptics claim that the Welsh strain is a product of the post Columbian, the interesting thing, to me anyway, is that the gene for red hair, common among the Celts, is recessive. Yet, very shortly after the arrival of the “second” wave of Celts in the 17th and 18th Centures, CE, little papooses started popping out their little red-headed selves in numbers worthy of mention…the “new blood” seems to have triggered the recessive and, surprise! Even today the Cherokee are among one of the few groups of people still producing large numbers of red heads…
I’ve been working on this early mixed blood tradition which, should you care to read, the Imam can put us in touch and I’ll share…
