Musical Interlude: I just heard Stephen Wilson Jr. for the first time on Mountain Stage (where this video comes from!) and I was struck by the line "You can call me Billy, but the hills come with it." Here's a track by a rising country star.

Musical Interlude: Listened to some Orientalist vintage music today; some of it will make you cringe (full of "ah, so" or "So solly") but this bouncy country tune is pretty inoffensive; in fact, kind of charming.
"Shanghaied," performed by Webb Pierce.

Musical Interlude: Here's a bit of fun. News about the Middle East had me remembering this song, which a friend played for me and said, "If Quentin Tarantino were to ever make a caper film set during the Gulf War, he should use this tune," and I can almost see it.
"Rockin' in Baghdad," performed by Jerry Reed.

Musical Interlude: The Tres Chicas were an alt-country group of Caitlin Carey, Tonya Lamm, and the late Lynn Blakey. They recorded a pair of albums in the early 2000s that had a unique charm. I always liked alt-country; even my rather traditionalist father liked what he heard, and he thought country music had sold its soul to the devil when they allowed drums on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry....
But anyway, here's a sample.
"Sweetwater," performed by the Tres Chicas.

Musical Interlude: Somehow this old tune came randomly into my head today. This is a Gershwin brothers song, first featured in the 1930 musical "Girl Crazy," which introduced many classic songs. This was first sung by Ethel Merman....just imagine!
"Boy, What Love Has Done to Me," performed by Ella Fitzgerald.

Musical Interlude: Composer Claude Debussy never described himself as an Impressionist, as he was a composer and not a painter, but many later critics felt he managed to translate the visual style of the Impressionists to music. Whether or not that makes sense to you, here's a piano suite that many feel encapsulates his musical Impressionism.
"Estampes," composed by Claude Debussy, performed live by Nikolai Lugansky.

Musical Interlude: Today I discovered the new, Grammy-nominated band American Patchwork Quartet, made up of musicians of different ethnic backgrounds, singing traditional American folk songs but with a unique style, that pays tribute to America's immigrant heritage and cultural diversity.
I mean, how I can I resist a band that pays homage to patchwork quilts? I need to see these folks in concert sometime.

Musical Interlude: A rain came through this evening, and I spent some time just sitting on the porch watching it fall. It wasn't blustery or anything, just a gentle summer rain. I felt very calm and secure in my rocking chair.
Songs about rain usually are sad ones, but this tune just about captures my feeling sitting on the porch, watching it fall...
"Times Like This," performed by Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians.

Musical Interlude: Here's a great song for a summer road trip. Claire Holley was one of the Americana/Alt-Country artists who emerged at the turn of the millennium, but is still going strong. This song, of meeting a compelling stranger in a highway rest stop, is something many of us can relate to.
