Hi Cricket and all! I second that TDK60; I just got back from the Pispala carnival to cook rice for the pethaus performers tonight and tuned in just in time to hear this song. Nothing better than to walk in thedoor and hear ISB!

Check out their first several albums; they were magical! At some point they went pop-ish,but the first few are simply wonderful, and you're right, they influenced a whole lot of people.

Hi TDK, hope all is well. This is a busy but great weekend here between carnival and two great nights at pethaus with the Swiss band Omni Selassi and two different opening acts. Now I gotta go cook the rice.

A friend gave me a copy of Jean Ritchie's autobiography which I've read a few pages of, I think she was the youngest of 14 or something like that.

Hi Bryan, is semester over for you? Even though I'm officially retired, I'm waiting for the final section of my last doctoral student's thesis so we can get it ready to submit for pre-examination by Wednesday.

I just got the thesis but he forgot to send the intro that includes the research questions that he has to address in the conclusions (it's a little silly but the doctoral committee is very picky about it), so he'll have a busy Sunday and I'll have a busy Monday

thanks, everybody! i sometimes (often) spend an embarrassing amount of time overthinking song transitions, so it's nice to hear that some of them are at least semi-successful haha

I was so loving this and then my headphones died. Damn! I’ll check back later for the rest of the show. Thanks, Cricket! Ciao, friends.

Walked down to the fancy ass grocery and got breakfast *and dinner* fixings. Had a cricket in my ear the whole way.
Wonderful show, as usual.

Usually working on Saturdays, but a day switch has me enjoying the show without rushing around before work. Perfect soundtrack for a leisurely morning of making a week's worth of soup and juice. Morning made even better by the arrival of the reissue of Shirley Collins "Sweet England" LP, signed!
