i dont know about the rest of the world but i love listening to new music. no, not the new top 40. just new to me. tonight i am being graced with kind voice and easy guitar of jose gonzalez. his voice almost sounds like james taylor but the music is much more natural. it makes me want to get in the car and drive across the country with my windows down. drinking iced tea and smiling at my beautiful wife as my crazy son tells me some random comment as he did tonight, "dad, we can hang the planet from my ceiling like a comet." to which i responded, "why do you know what a comet is?" from which he replied, "it is a rock that flies thru outerspace, dad. but it would hurt you if it came down."
why does my son know what a comet is much less what it is made out of? i dont know but i presume it is the same reason that he remembers the names of most everyone that has even come to our house for dinner in the last year. tonight he said, "mom, do you remember when mandy came and brought the gummies and potato crisp?"
anyway, i will live you with a link to listen to jose gonzalez on npr.org. it is an entire set that lasts about 50 minutes. you can listen on real player or windows media. so grab a drink sit back and enjoy!
