Jake and Ana look so scrawny and young in this video, especially Jake.

This is a sweet, kind of sad song. Visually stunning video, too.

Today my jouhikko/tagelharpa (archaic fiddle-type instrument of Finland/Sweden/Estonia) arrived from England. so I'm listening to my horeshair bow on the twisted horsehair strings, making unfortunate sounds as though someone was dragging a chair across the room. And I'll be listening to it for weeks to come, if not months.
Good thing my husband (an excellent fiddler) is very very patient and understanding.

I know what a nyckelharpa is... but could you post a pic of the jouhikko/tagelharpa so we could see?

Cherish the Ladies, Solas, Capercaillie, and the Chieftains. I've been learning tin whistle, so I'm on a Celtic music kick.

I got a $25 Itunes for Christmas, my favorite thing I bought? "Atlantic City" by The Band. "Put your make-up on, fix your hair up pretty, meet me tonight in Atlantic City." I also got a bunch of Ryan Bingham and Jamey Johnson off my husband's CDs. Love them both!

Roadie gal, if you are in the mood for instrumental and you like a good guitar, actually a REALLY darned good guitar, try Jesse Cook.

That is really good guitar!

Martha Argerich performing Liszt's first Piano Concerto with the LSO under Abbado. With the volume turned up until I can't hear civilization crumbling around me. It's what I've listened to on nights like these for 33 years.

I bought the vinyl (which also includes Chopin's 1st) from someone who was clearing out her dorm room and having a little sale on the quad. She'd studied the piece the semester before and was ready to pass it on. Best thing I've ever bought at a "yard" sale.
