Great and much anticipated follow-up to "Pillars of the Earth". (*****)

Great book. (*****)
Henri J. M. Nouwen: Way of the Heart
Who would have thought that a bunch of guys in the desert would have a cure for the burbs. (****)
J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
It was really fun. I couldn't put it down and am sad it is over. (*****)

Double Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular
Tony Trischka: Double Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular
Now that I have my Hartford banjo, I'm listening to more players. This is a great cd. Lots of great players accompany Trischka. It doesn't bore me in the least. Plus he plays a Hartford on some cuts. (*****)
Seeing Things
Jakob Dylan: Seeing Things
I just like it! (****)
Joni Mitchell: Shine
Very thoughtful and evocative. Love the new version of Big Yellow Taxi (****)

Springsteen brings a raw power to these tried and true tunes. (*****)
Leif Ove Andsnes: Grieg: Lyric Pieces
A dear friend gave this to me. I'm more understanding of Lewis's affection for "northernness" than ever before. (*****)
Tommy Emmanuel: The Mystery
The one vocal on this cd is worth the price. Well, Tommy's playing ain't bad either! (*****)
Bob Dylan: Modern Times
Dylan at his iconoclastic best. But wait, how can an icon be iconoclastic? That is unless the essence of his iconography is being inconoclastic...hmmm... (*****)
David Wilcox: Vista
I'm enjoying this immensely. The song "Good Man" challenges the religiously self-righteous. "Miracle" asks us to consider that though we keep asking for one, the "miracle" is among us already. (*****)
David Wilcox: Out Beyond Ideas
The description on the website calls it 'esoteric'. I find Wilcox intriguing. My favorite song is "You Who Knew Me". Check it out. (****)

You'll enjoy Caedmon's Call new worship cd. After getting a pre-release cd, I have enjoyed many of the songs and look forward to using a few in worship. (****)

A site worth looking at. The stories may be real or cyber-apocryphal, but it is interesting. It is a shameless ad for Hilton Hotels, but if you're looking for a potentially uplifting story, this could provide it. Go to Be Hospitable. Check it out for some fun.
