Uke –
If you’re familiar with Frisell it might be more of the same. This is the first time I’ve come across him. It’s a “solo” album – it’s only him but he does multiple tracks on different instruments. There are two or three cuts I really like, but some of them sound like he’s just playing around – as I listen more I realize that’s his style, but it still sounds like noodling to me.
Thanks again to one and all. I’m printing out this thread to take with me to the record store. (Won’t that make 'em happy – some guy buying CDs indiscriminately!) Now the bad news – our CD player broke! Really. It is (was) a five disc player and the spin-around-thing (did I mention I have a degree in mechanical engineering – technically it’s called a “doohickey”) just keeps spinning. I took it all apart, which always frightens Mrs. P and amuses the children, and determined it was just a burned out LED (I told you I had a degree!) but there’s no chance of finding a replacement and last time we tried to fix something electronic the repair bill was 90% of the replacement cost.
Fortunately I can still play CDs in the car and on the computer. But its kind of nice in the living room once in a while, so I’ll have to replace it. Good thing I got that raise, I guess.
