2016: a new year for music....

When I saw her on her "West" tour, she had a music stand with set list and lyrics. I remember finding it odd, I guess because I've never experienced an artist do that before. Her humility and the fact the she stays true to herself,  I find to be a large part of her appeal and a contributing factor to her greatness as a songwriter.

mofimadness, thanks for mentioning the Commitments soundtrack. Always enjoyed the film and the music! Reading the description, I was surprised to learn that Glen Hansard was in the movie and I never knew that. I'm a big fan. I need to watch it again soon. That 20% Valentines coupon at Music Direct is really going to come in handy.

bdp24, I mentioned it because I know for sure she was auditioning guitarists in the mid-70's.  This I know because I was one of the ones who flunked the audition.  The upside was that her manager borrowed my Mac 2300, my mics and my PA speakers for a Leo Kottke show a bit later--I got in free, and I guess if I had pressed the matter I could have gotten to meet Leo.  At any rate, for a youngster it was kind of cool.

slaw...I watched the movie again last night, it's been awhile since I've seen it.  I really like the flick and music.

Glen Hansard is also in the movie "Once".  It's also a quirky, music related film.  I thought it was wonderful and the music is excellent.

Yeah, I think I singlehandedly keep Music Direct in business.  That 20% off deal is awesome!

As far as I know, I have all of his output... solo, Swell Season, his lp with Eddie Vedder...can you think of anything else? Thanks.
