Stormy Weather

Things to listen to...

Suzanne Vega.

She played in the park right near my house a few years ago on New Years' Eve.

Coltraine, 1965.

Jazz pour tous - 33 min video of Mingus Sextet in Paris. Black and white.

For those who like Celtic music, Tribute tae Wallace and Mandu Eil a Bhan are particularly nice, from Clan Wallace (naturally).

Thanks for the link to musicovery. Now I'm *really* not getting any work done...

Heh.

I found some really lovely songs I hadn't heard before, and a few old ones I just hadn't heard in a while. I used to love Pandora (and still like it) but this is great. The Internet is awesome.
