New music, familiar voices

It's been a good month for music: the first new Eagles music in nearly 30 years (not that I had gotten tired of the old stuff yet), a satisfying new James Taylor compilation of new takes on old songs (One Man Band), and a new Joni Mitchell CD (Shine) which I haven't heard yet but trust it belongs on my Christmas list. Well, I needed something to get me over Nickel Creek's "break of indefinite length."

I spent about 20 years singing in church choirs, then moved here and joined a church that didn't have one (we're ALL the choir, they said). But now it does, and I rehearsed last Thursday and realized much I've missed that experience. So here's to a musical winter.
