All Time Favorite Playlist
I was inspired by Shannon's 10-Pack of Songs. So here is a link to an "All Time Favorite" playlist of mine on Apple Music.
All Time Favorites - Apple Music Playlist by Donald Forth Sorry if you don't have Apple Music - It's what I use.
Ingénue
I recently tweeted a link to this great NPR interview with K.D. Lang about the 25th anniversary of Ingénue. It is really worth a listen, especially if you have an appreciation for this album or any of Lang's work.
I finally got the 25th anniversary edition and it's worth every penny.
I've been in love with this album since it was originally released. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the album. But, this remaster is so full and vibrant, making an album I already loved even better. The 2nd disc is a MTV Unplugged performance of most of the songs. It's a great companion to this wonderful album.
I know and like people that don't like this album. It's ok for them to be wrong.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Remix)
Sgt. Pepper's was recorded 50 years ago at the beginning of June. To commemorate this a stereo remix was released. AHHHHHHHHHHH!! WTF Why? Well it turns out, we should have been listening to the mono version all this time. The original stereo mix was done hastily and with the idea that it was a novelty. Things have changed quite a bit over the years. But, don't take my word for it. Listen to this great interview on All songs considered with Giles Marten.
This is an amazing gift for anyone that likes this amazing album. Everything you thought you knew about the album is fresh and new. You will discover things about the music that you never heard before, and your appreciation of this album and amazing band will grow even more.
His favorite music.
Working this morning with iTunes playing in the background. The song 'Ventura Highway' by the band America starts playing and I'm hit with a very strong memory of my Dads Father, my Grandfather. He died many years ago from Cirrhosis. He was a heavy drinker who never recovered from retirement. I wasn't terribly close to him, but I have many good memories of him. He loved to read westerns, but I don't know if he had a favorite author. He frequently played the lottery, but never won more than he spent playing it. He loved to eat steak for dinner, almost every night. He also kept a loaded 44 under the bed. I once heard him laughing and giggling loudly after talking about the time my Grandmother tried to feed a frog some bologna (yeah that is kinda funny).
I don't have many good pictures of him, the ones I do have are from when he wasn't feeling well. I guess all that really matters is that I thought of him this morning and wanted to share.
