A "stream of consciousness" observation on music and how we relate to it. How we purchase, listen to and enjoy music is changing. What does it mean to be a music fan in a world where every song, performance and video is literally at your fingertips? I hope to be a guide to this new world of musical experience. Featuring tunes and comments about artists, old and new in nearly every genre.

Song of the Day-Stay Awhile With Me
The Strawberry Hill Boys were an English aggregation led by Dave Cousins featuring Sandy Denny on vocals. You probably know Sandy from Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore" where she duets with Robert Plant. Sandy had one of the purest voices in English Folk-Rock and when on to front Fairport Convention. Sadly substance abuse issues lead to an early death from injuries suffered in a fall down the staircase. But we still have her lovely voice on the records that survive her. After she left the SHB, they became Strawbs practicing a brand of progressive rock that never quite caught on stateside. Rick Wakeman was a Strawb before he became a "Yesman." This is the final track from SHB's "All Our Own Work." Beautiful record! Give it a spin/click!
