What are you listening to?

Oh, thank you for asking.

Actually, I’m listening to just about everything, having just joined the iPodded masses and so feeding CDs into the computer all the time to turn them into MP3s so that I can listen to them everywhere.

Particular things that I’ve rediscovered that I’ve not listened to for a while are:

Dolly Parton – Halos and Horns. (Especially that delirious bluegrass version of Stairway to Heaven).

Maddy Prior and Tim Hart – Summer Solstice. (Remembering the time when I live not where I love was one of my party pieces).

Alilo – Ancient Georgian Choales by the Rustavi Choir. (Its hard to know what to think or do about Georgia but praying along with this is a start and the music is glorious).

Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. (Isn’t the overture just exactly what you want to listen to as the bus carries you through Maryhill?)

k d lang – Ingénue. (Because I’m a sister at heart, no?)

How about you?

    Runrig! That reminds me of the years when Fr Emsley Nimmo was my parish priest and it was blasting out in the background every time I ‘phoned the rectory!

    Emsley and I went to Coates Hall together, Robin, and sang teuchter songs together as The Kyries, rather than The Corries! And Lor Have Mercy on those who listened to us!

    don’t have ipod but you can’t beat Vivaldi’s Gloria blasting out in your car as you drive about almost as good as Dolly Parton who is fab but I must confess to also listening to Neil Diammond ,James Blunt and Harry Chapin Try some Gregorian chants

    I am listening to some Nat King Cole and Mary O’Hara songs. I wonder whatever happened to Mary? Certainly long overdue for more recognition as one of Scotland’s greatest folk singers.
