Fall Music

New Music for the Walk each morning:

Eva Cassidy- Somewhere- Eva was known for her technical ability to sing in any genre and make it distinctively hers. What a voice! She died in the 80's of melanoma. She was in her 20's. I heard her songs being played in the local Starbucks and used shazam on the Iphone to find out who she was. My emusic only has her paired with others in albums. I looked her up on the Wiki because someone commented in the Emusic review how when she recorded one song.. songbird she was already losing it.. or rather was almost gone. Her local familiarity was in the DC area. After her death she was very popular in the UK.

Norah Jones, the daughter of with some musical linage has issued a new album for the fall. On ITunes it comes with about 5 bonus tracks. She plays the piano and comes in rather understated.

I downloaded the soundtrack from Sleepless in Seattle. Its been a good companion on the trail. Its got some Jimmy D and some Louis Armstrong. It even has one by Joe Cocker, a new friend of Francisco's in Rome. He took him around the sights last week.

I down loaded a selection from the sound stage that commemorates the chick films. It had 50 songs not from the original artists that came from various "chick"films. On those they charge off 12 of your monthly selections for the actual download of 52 cuts.

Blaine Larson has been downloaded for the country fans. He has some interesting songs.

I ran into the group "Train". There new songs have several that reference the Bay Area. Its nice to hear some contemporary that is not rap. They have a very nice full sound.

These songs and songlists are hitting the road with me each morning. If I start early I can hear the songs the entire way. If I wait a littel and do not hit my 5:30 wakeup and and the road mark, they have to accompany me on the quiet residential side of the trip.. the last half.

I thought that I would share my playlist with you! In this forum.

Have a great weekend!
