A Modest Proposal for a New Topic

The Yukon trip is almost over (photo-wise) and our per-month posting is woefully below last year's rate. One of the problems with the new round robin is it's too easy to compare the quantity of posts per month.

Anyway I have a proposal. It came to mind when I just read an e-mail from Paul about Celtic Women. My initial response was, "Who are they?" But that says nothing about Celtic Women because I am nearly illiterate in the music department.

Recently I've been trying to remedy that (in my old age) by working harder at listening to music and noting when something strikes me and then pursuing it on the internet, learning more about the artist and artists who are similar. Finding the CD's at the library etc. etc.

I'd like to be introduced to more music ideas so here's the proposal. . .make a post about some musician you like. Tell us why. If you're computer savy make links to where we can learn (and hear) more.

Don't make a list of 30 artists in one post. . .the goal is more posts. Rather, make a bunch of posts each about one or two that you have recently discovered or have liked for a long time. Who are they? Why do you like them? Tastes differ, of course, but I would enjoy hearing other people's opinions. It doesn't have to be a lengthy treatise. . the goal here is more posts. Get our numbers up any way we can.

By the way I really enjoyed Tyler's comments (below). We actually talked about his comments in church last Sunday. The point being. . .neices and nephews are always welcome here. The more the merrier!
