[Mr. Charlie]

Sound quality ain't great but a pretty song:

[Mr. Charlie]

Good tune from a classic album:

7/1/78 Arrowhead Stadium KC MO
Jerry Jeff Walker/The Grateful Dead/Jessie Colter & Waylon Jennings/Willie Nelson
Tompall Glaser did a few guest spots as I recall, memory a bit hazy! Meant to post 2 days ago...

Welcome to MB, IdiotWind

I took your advice, checked out Lala Njava and this is what I found:-



Thanks for the recommendation; it`s a great song! When I get a chance, I`ll listen to some more of her material, including the remaster that you mention.

In the meantime here`s a track you may like. It also also has a great female African vocalist and a few brush-strokes of accordion:-



^ That clip is taken from Abyssinia Infinite`s "Zion Roots" album, which is pretty cool; watch out for the highlight track, Ethiopia.

It must be my lucky day, passing by here when Lisna is around to leave a recommendation! I love that Ethiopian goodness! So awesome. *downloads immediately* It's so supernatural!

^ Haha ! Thank you misspoptart, that`s really nice of you! I`m very glad you like Ethiopia. Isn`t the singer something else? How can she pack so much yearning beauty into that one word, "Ethiopia" ?



Oddly enough I was thinking of you the other day because I was listening to the Niyaz album you recommended, what? a year ago? The music is so well put together; it`s become a firm favourite of mine. Many thanks for that recommendation.

I could say the same of you, Miss P, - that you are not often in MB these days. I know you`ve got your fancy new office-lunchtime friends to hang out with, but please don`t make yourself a stranger here, ok?

I KNOW. It's really supernatural. She is so special, I'm so glad I've found her, with your help!

Don't worry, I'm a very frequent lurker!

I'll give you a recommendation in exchange for that amazing one, btw! I hope you haven't heard it before. This comes all the way from the "beautiful islands of New Zealand!" The band is from South Africa, though, incidentally. ^^;

Trampled by Turtles - Wait so long

Thanks for the Kia Ora clip, Miss P - a nice track with a really great start (wish the rhythm section had come in a bit later, tbh).

In a completely different style, here`s a rather cheesey home-video affair for a particularly good instrumental written by Newfoundland fiddle player Jerry Holland:-

[misspoptart]

Hahahahah I love the kid. That is adorable. Where did you come up with this Lisna!! So cheesy with the Canadian flag and everything too it's like extremely hilarious. But you're right that the melody is lovely. Awesome!
