Whats on your turntable tonight?

Rosalie Sorrels – Miscellaneous Abstract Record No. 1 (Green Linnet 1982)

Interesting note on Green Linnet records. The label was founded by folkster Patrick Sky. He fell in love with trad Irish music after his Greenwich Village stint. A linnet is a red-breasted song bird. However, in the Irish rebel song tradition, the name "Green Linnet" was the code name for Napoleon Bonaparte who they hoped would break the chains of British rule.

Sibylle Baier – Colour Green (Orange Twin 2006, RE 2010)

The songs were home reel-to-reel tape recordings Baier had made in Germany between 1970 and 1973. Some thirty years later her son compiled a CD from these recordings to give to family members as presents.

@noromance...your comments about the Green Linnet label got me thinking.  I knew I had heard of that label before and had some albums.  I got to digging and sure enough I found a few that I had forgotten about...thanks!
