I just went to the used CD store yesterday and got the following:

**Boston** Greatest Hits  
**Billy Joel** Greatest Hits  
**Eric Clapton** Blues double disc  
**Phish** a live import  
**Muddy Waters** live cd, don’t know name  
**Jimi Hendrix** Band of Gypsys (the copy I already had skipped horribly)

I bought the Billy Joel CD cause I want to learn how to play “Only the Good Die Young” and “Piano Man” on guitar.

Trying is the first step to failure

Latest CD purchases:

Asleep At The Wheel – _Tribute to Bob Wills_  
Joni Mitchell – _Both Sides Now_

Ordered at CDNow, won’t ship till tomorrow when the Mitchell CD is released.

Still enjoying these recent acquisitions:

Charlotte Church – _Charlotte Church_  
Preservation Hall Jazz Band – _Marching Down Bourbon Street_  
Bob Frisell – _Ghost Town_

A number of people have recommended that Steely Dan CD. I may have to break down and purchase it.

The most important music news in this area, however, has to be that tickets to **Leo Kottke’s** four shows in the Puget Sound area are now on sale. He’s da man!

I haven’t gotten much lately.

The last two CDs I got were SRV’s Greatest Hits volumes 1 and 2.

You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing.

I found a pretty cool (if you like that sort of thing) cover of “How Soon Is Now” by the Meatmen. hehe

Just got a package from Second Spin (greatest used CD store on the net, address is just what you think it is):

A CD single from **Belly**  
**The Clash** ’s Sandinista! (God, I’d forgotten what a great record that is!)  
Tonight the Stars Revolt!!! by **Powerman 5000** (gotta keep up with _some_ new music…)  
and Black Diamond by **Stan Ridgway**

I also just got a bunch of CDs from Columbia House, but they’re mostly classical, and so not quite on topic (though the disc of Cecilia Bartoli/Bryn Terfel duets is wonderful).

…but when you get blue, and you’ve lost all your dreams, there’s nothing like a campfire and a can of beans!
