I love art of all kinds. Obviously…else I wouldn’t have this blog eh? Well among my favorite mediums of art is music. I love it. I love all sorts of music. Very few brands rub my fur backwards. Pop, Folk, Native American, Salsa…You name it, its likely I like at least some of the mainstream and often I’ll have a deep joy in the unusual about that kind of music you’ve named.

Recently, I’ve been in an NPR mode. Been scarfing up old concerts from the website. Guess that I’m a little bored with my music files of late and wanted something new though I can’t afford to add to my collection just now. Anyhoo, I am soaking some Tom Waits…If you like Blues, and you’ve not discovered Tom’s music as yet, you’ll love it. Trust me.

Just click the ‘hear the concert’ link just above the blog post about Tom’s bio on the site and enjoy. Its yummy! *smiles* By the way, if you scroll down the blog post, you’ll find some more old concerts by Tom Waits…*smiles*

And since I was dying for something visually new here on my blog, you might enjoy surfing to Gagnon Studio and check out some of the new art work Tim’s shared on his blog. Its notthe first time I’ve shared his art here and likely not the last. There’s a restful quality about his work that I really enjoy. I keep a watch on his blog and am enjoying seeing him develop his blog as well as his artistic offerings to his audience.

Crashing against my storm tossed heart

Again to see the seas choppy reason

Pain wreaked body grasping for nourishment

None may be found here see

Answers lie with the buoyant soul in me

Freedom and peace anchored there be

A friend of mine put me on to this singer songwriter. I love her…Melody Gardot that is. I hope you’ll give her vids a look-see on YouTube. Here’s her myspace. And here’s a link to her music on Amazon. And here’s a link to some of her concerts which have been presented on NPR.
