month....Christmas music gets stuck in my head at the slightest suggestion.

I never seem to end up in this item while music is playing (at least the last
few days), but here's what I've been listening to:
David Bowie, "Ziggy Stardust". Somehow I never listened to this guy much
before. I like this album; the songs are somehow structured differently than
most music I used to listen to.
NIN, "The Fragile". Still absorbing this one.
Red Elvises.

Philip Glass "Low Symphony" It's an interesting piece of music based on songs
by David Bowie and Brian Eno.

"Low" is wonderful. We were listening to it in the car one night, and had
to sit in the driveway for about fifteen minutes to hear it to the end.
Glass took the three instrumental pieces from Bowie's Low album and used
them as the basis for three expanded works. Quite nice.

Nothing playing at the moment. I've been playing my new McCoy Tyner and Oscar
Peterson albums a lot, though.

Philip Glass has another Bowie/Eno symphony out besides "Low"; this
other one is called "Heroes".

(Kelis, "Caught Out There." I have to review the vinyl for the radio
station, there's six tracks, and it's UNLABELLED. I don't know if I
can stand listening to it six times.)

Vulcheva-Jenkins Incident, CROSS THE DANUBE. A marriage, both musical and
literal, between a Bulgarian singer and an English guitarist.
I'd forgotten how much I'd enjoyed this when it came out.
I wish they would do another album, but I have not heard peep from them
in the intervening three years.

Junior Brown, "Guit With It". This is the country guy with the freakishly
mutated Telecaster/steel guitar who plays a more old-timey style. Never
really heard his stuff, but I found a couple CDs at the library. I like it!
The tune that just finished was a bluegrassish instrumental that somehow ended
with the signature guitar part from Jimi Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary".
The CD isn't half over and already I'm a fan. :)

Is a "steel guitar" just a guitar with steel strings played with a slide, or
is there something else special about it?

There are steel bodied guitars. Makes a very durable guitar,
I take it. I wonder if they came into popularity in WWII when such
durability would have been very welcome to soldiers. Robert Jones,
of WDET's " Blues form the Low Lands" plays a Nation Steel guitar.
Rather unique voice. Works well for the Blues.
I'm currently listening to Matt Watroba's "Folks Like Us".
Earlier he was interviewing Ron Coden and others who will be performing
at the Focus Hope benifit. I had to stop Grexing and call and pass on
the word that Ron Coden's "'Twas the Night Before the Seventh Day of
Chanahah" will be heard nationally this weekend on Dr. Demento show.
(I get the Dr. Demento playlist weekly just to see what's playing even
though we are demento-less in Ann Arbor. YOu can get playlists from
drdemento.com or look at some in my directory (~tpryan) as drd99.*
or drd99_*). I am glad that Ron's recital has now been played each
year on Dr. Demento since I sent him a copy of the charity CD I found
it on (a little holiday spark--songs of the season from detroit's leading
lights).

("Steel Guitar" is a specific instrument, basically just a wide neck with up
to 10 strings, and a set of levers and pedals to change pitch of various
strings. Played with a slide. Based on the old Hawaian slide guitar
technique.
Steel-bodied guitars, aka resonator guitars, were invented in the 20's as a
way to increase volume)
