What have you got this week? Feel free to pick and choose.
Entire song report: Started with “Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel, Pt 1”, by Tavares. Finished with “Hoedown!”, by Yo-Yo Ma and Bobby McFerrin, song # 2012. Only 83 tunes this week; I’ll try to do better next week.
Ripping vinyl report:
“Lawyers In Love”, by Jackson Browne.
“Repeat – The Best of Jethro Tull, Vol 2 – Repeat”, by Jethro Tull.
I’m not actually sure how I came to have these albums. I don’t recall buying them – the only Jackson Browne I’m sure I’ve ever bought was “Lives In The Balance”, which I sold in a purge of old vinyl some years ago – and it’s not really Tiffany’s style. I know I used to have a copy of “Aqualung”, but it was damaged and got purged, too. But have them I do, and now they’re in my iTunes library. I also finished off “Queen’s Greatest Hits” by doing Side 2 of it. Guess I had some extra time this past week, most of which was last weekend.
