What are you listening to right now?

i just looked at the iPod and the song is called "daddy-o" by joyce cooling. it's part of my sbh villa chill playlist.
 
Well, since you asked.

I'm just getting ready for a busy night. Huge storm rolls in. Another tree fell. Thanfully, not on the power lines, etc. this time. Get rain gear on to check all around the house before trekking out. All's cool. Couldn't get "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" out of my mind's ear as I wandered around the house and power lines as it was dumping on me.

I'll post some cheerier ones later. :up:
 
Mishka!! I was a little surprised no one here had any opinion either way on his music. I really like each and every CD. Found the music first then found he is one of the children referenced by JB. Mishka Frith (the Mr. Moon of Chansons Pour Les Petits Enfants fame).
I do remember Jimmy singing this last Nov. and referencing about the reggae singer.
 
..both PeterNJ and I like Mishka...we talked about it in here a few months ago....good stuff

Interesting condsidering my dog is named after the other character in that song!
 
During the '99 Le Select Jubilee concert the Children of the Moon were brought on stage to sing with JB.

I had some rockin' good times down on the south side of I-10 and US-90 in my younger days. I enjoy a lot of music from LA. Tonight it's Zachary Richard, with Côte Blanche Bay playing at the moment. You'll find a lot of Aaron Neville and some Neville Brothers on my iPod too.

The BP disaster reminds me of Zachary Richard's Sunset on Louisianne:

Sunset on Louisianne

When I was young and full of dreams,
My whole life in front of me.
But things are not always the way they seem,
Some dreams just don't come true.

My Papa’d been a trapper living hand to mouth,
But when I made shop foreman, I had it all figured out,
It was the answer for which I prayed
When the industry came to town.

Chorus:
Sunset on Louisianne,
The sun going down on the Promised Land,
I’ve given you everything I can,
I’ve got nothing left to lose.

Married a girl from Pauché Bride,
Raised a family of Cajun kids,
Nobody did no better than we did,
But things can always change.

My Sister lost her baby premature,
And my Papa got the sickness that got no cure,
And what they told us about it at the plant,
We could not be sure.

Chorus
Bridge:
Smokestacks burning on the river,
From New Orleans to Baton Rouge.
How can I go on believing
When the won’t tell me the truth.

I take my grand son fishing down at Camanida Bay,
I hope some of this beauty will last,
But, lord, it’s changing so damn fast,
Each and every day.

I love the river and I love the swamp,
The snowy egret and the old bull frog,
But they’re harder to find one and all
Since the industry came to town.
