I get higher boring marks than you, Mary.
In 1999 I finally caught up with Shania
Twain's "Come On Over" CD, which has to be
two or threes years old. I also, bought
a Billy Joel's Greatest Hits double CD,
and a few classical music ones. Many of my
1999 classical CDs are from BBC Music mag,
who send me a new one every few weeks. The
"must open it and listen to it some day"
stack is now about ten deep. There are also
the CDs I bought for my kids, most which
I've forgotten. Christina somebody, etc.

One Christmas I bought my parents the Pink Floyd Live CD, "Pulse". They
loved it. :) Later on I got them the concert video. They even saw the
laser light show.

re #26: Shania Twain's "Come On Over" was the #1 selling country album
of 1999, and the #2 or #3 overall album. It was new in 1999.

Oh, yea. I almost forgot, (thanks Mary), I bought Classical Zoo this year
also. It's got Rossini's The Thieving Magpie(overture), Respighi's The
Birds, Sibelius' The Swan of Tuonela, and, of course, Saint-Saens Carnival
of the Animals. Pat heard the fossils section in music class in school,
and Had to have it! Pretty cool.

Re #22: Another album titled "Strange Cargo" was released the same
year as Orbit's first, but it was by David Van Tieghem. Much better,
IMHO. The guy does some amazing things with percussion; he could
make music just about anywhere with almost anything.
I can't remember what I got during 1999. It's been a lean year for music.
I've given away at least one CD I didn't care for (Counting Crows).
Re #27: A little while ago, I heard a bit of an Elvis Costello 3-CD
set on WDET. Figuring that my brother might not have it yet, I snagged
a copy for him for Xmas. When he opened it he just about fell over;
not only did he not have it, he (living in the boonies) *didn't know
it existed*. I counted coup on him that day!

A total aside, but, now it's on record that David Crosby is the father
of Melissa Etheridge & Julie Cypher's children.
Gawd.
David Crosby, in some clinic, with pornos and a cup. ::shudder::

You can't fool me, bees, you're reading this in the general conference.
Come visit the music conference some time, ok? :)
Costello's "2 1/2 Years" set was four CDs: the first three studio albums,
plus the promotional LP "Live at the El Mocambo." I occasionally think
about getting this -- it's all the Elvis C. I would ever want -- but
there's always something else higher on the shopping list.

How could "all the Elvis C. [you'd] ever want" not include
"Imperial Bedroom", "Armed Forces", "Blood and Chocolate",
and ""King of America"??

Re the David Crosby thing: Now we have a perfect way to settle the nature v
nurture debate. If the kids turns out gay, its nurture, if the kid becomes
a drug addict, its nature . . . .

Didn't David Crosby also find out he has his own grown son, got
to know him, and put out a (?) 1999 album with him?

Yep. The son hadn't planned on contacting him, as he didn't want to
come across as "Hi, I'm your son, I know you're famous, gimme!". He
came forward when David needed a new liver and was at death's doorstep.
