Chris Whitley - Dirt Floor
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ughlBC80Iuc
There’s a dirt floor underneath here
To receive us when changes fail
May this shovel loose your trouble
Let them fall away
Well, the mist shall be your blanket
While the moss shall ease your head
As the future is soon forgotten
As the dirt shall be your bed
Tuxedo Junction from the Glenn Miller Story conducted by Joseph Gershenson. Better than the original in my view. Lovely minimalist piece of big band music.
Great call Harry. Great fucking call!
Tom Dunne played these two beauties the other night. I made a note of them both for myself and for you, the loyal listeners here.

Curtis Mayfield and Lauryn Hill - Here But I’m Gone
Mayfield’s lyrics to this are about being a quadriplegic.

I love when this happens.
I heard a smashing tune in a Belgian record store this morning. I enquired in my pigeon French what the record was and the owner showed me the cd case and explained in his pigeon English that the band Lnzndrf are made up of two members of the National and one member of Beirut. I bought the record there and then. I don’t know which smashing tune from the record he was playing but when I listen to it and identify the tune I will post it up.
My mechanic’s father used to drink with this gentleman. He lived in east Galway.
