I got the Revenant label reissue of the 1930s Dock Boggs stuff, but
I wonder if I wouldn't have been happier with the Smithsonian
Folkways package of his 1950s-1960s? recordings, just for the
better sound quality.

i have both, the later stuff is better sound quality but he was
a different singer all those years later, plus there are a few
songs not included on the smithsonian discs.

I've been listening to The Chieftains, "The Celtic Harp" in the car. Just
heared on WDIV that the Boston Pops' concert in Ann Arbor was this evening.

I think so... it's pretty good, at least so far. Needs a few listens to be
sure.

He's back working with Tony Visconti again, the guy who produced some of
his classic 70s albums, but although his last few releases have been
fairly good they're not in the same class as his best stuff.

The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl, "Fairytale of New York".
Constantly voted one of the best (aqnd often THE best) Xmas anthem
ever in Britain.
Tragically, Kirsty MacColl died when she was swimming on holiday
somewhere, a few months back. Seems she had a hitherto undetected
heart problem. What a waste :-(.

currently listening to KKCR (Kauai Community Radio) on the 'Net, the
locally-flavoured "Kani ka Pila" programme (loosely translated as
"Jamming," I'm told).
http://www.kkcr.org (they use the Live365 business for their stream, and
it's a pain, but worth it for some of the shows.)

Ann Arbor Board of Education President Karen Cross, on the proposal for a new
high school and remodeling of several others. Not that this is really music,
but some will call it "music to [their] ears." :)

April Verch, maybe? Saw her at the Philadelphia Folk Festival
last summer on a fiddlers' workshop; I think she's coming up at the
Ark too.

April March is French Pop sorta stuff. Hard to explain, but you either
really like her, or really don't.

Ah, not the same person at all then. April Verch is an Ontario fiddler
who started out fairly traditional folk and is now moving towards
that "new acoustic music" category.

BBC Radio 3, "Composer of the Week," this week featuring Charpentier,
who I should listen to more.

Shinwa - "Twinkling of Paradise" This is a Korean pop CD that mixes rap and
a boy band sound. In the title track, it even mixes in classical music. It's
odd to hear this kind of music in Korean, although all the rapping is in
English. Odd enough to keep my interest though.

(The Charpentier featured on the BBC is the one with the opera "Medee'",
does that help?)

Marc-Antoine. I thought so. Mid-Baroque.
Gustave was a turn-of-the-20th-century composer of schmaltz operas,
best known for "Louise". Before the Baroque boom of the last couple
decades he was much better-known.

Yeah, a number of random BBC baroque and early music things have been
pushing my buttons lately.
