Not sure where you got the idea that my name is Alan tho, because it definitely isn't :) Unless this is some joke that I'm missing/forgetting.DEAR_SPIRIThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577387245461236957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723793381393106663.post-90653257913266567852021-07-26T19:22:46.233-07:002021-07-26T19:22:46.233-07:00Greeting Alan, welcome back to blogland...I have o...Greeting Alan, welcome back to blogland...I have only just realised that you are up and running again. Great to see.<br />I came to this via the recent Hamza El Din 'Eclipse' post. Which then led me to try for the two 'You will enjoy' selections listed:<br /><br />Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar - Grands Maitres de la Rudra-Veena<br />Robert Rich & Lisa Moskow - Yearning<br /><br />Zippy links for both are down. So this is a roundabout way of asking if you might be able to re-up those? That would be champion.<br /><br />Thanks as always for the terrific musical journey.<br />PBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723793381393106663.post-20775947752449071552017-06-10T07:08:08.892-07:002017-06-10T07:08:08.892-07:00snip ".. instead of a bunch of hootenanny-sou...snip ".. instead of a bunch of hootenanny-soundtracking clusterfucks about milking cows or some shit....."<br /><br />Try living here in Nashville................<br /><br />Every goddam person I have befriended here eventually reveals that they are closeted bluegrass, singer-songwriter and jam band cultists.<br /><br />Oh, and half of my friends who are 20 or more years younger than I are getting moist wishing they could go see U2 at Bonaroo.

And I do love plenty of country and folk music, but aside from subversive musicians like John Fahey and the like, none of it has had that ethereal, conversing-with-the-divine feel that is so appealing to me about sitar music. I haven't listened to any Appalachian banjo music, though, and I prob should.DEAR_SPIRIThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577387245461236957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723793381393106663.post-49973749875804086792017-06-08T05:14:21.909-07:002017-06-08T05:14:21.909-07:00There is something quite beautiful in the sound of...There is something quite beautiful in the sound of the Sitar. The way you can hear the looseness of the strings and how some of the notes are bent. This album is a great addition to my still very small Indian collection so thank you :)Steven Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517371401575191365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723793381393106663.post-24879511451386390512017-06-07T18:57:20.360-07:002017-06-07T18:57:20.360-07:00Thanks, I could use some transcendence right about...Thanks, I could use some transcendence right about now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723793381393106663.post-44681676534435501202017-06-06T10:35:54.392-07:002017-06-06T10:35:54.392-07:00"Clusterfuck about milking cows..." haha..."Clusterfuck about milking cows..." haha- <br />Thanks for the laugh.
