Thank YOU, Kevin. I'm really interested in that Syd Matters and am also looking forward to Beth Orton's latest. Josh Ritter deserves wider attention, I agree. I have friends who recommend music and my "home" radio station WFUV (from Fordham U) is also a great resource and streams online at http://www.wfuv.org. Plus, they did interview db one morning when he was on tour with the NFU. And again, I find much of the music of contemporary classical composer Osvaldo Golijov absolutely thrilling.
