Favorite Songs These would go on a soundtrack of my life
"20 or So" by Greg Brown "May you smile a little if you think of me."	Have gotten to see him live in concert three times but have yet to hear this one live. This song is on 44&66. My favorite CD of his is Dream Cafe.	44&66 Dream Cafe
"That side of the Moon" by Tret Fure "My house I leave open,my faith lies with friends. If I can’t trust my instincts, I’ll lose in the end. I’d rather risk injury, then be on my guard. That side of the moon is too dark."	Got to hear this live in November of 2000! Talented and a babe! This song is available on "Edges of the Heart\Terminal Hold" CD. Her albums and T-shirts are available at Tom Boy Girl If you have an MSN Radio Plus account you can listen to the album, otherwise you can get a sample of her music on the Amazon page for Time Turns the Moon
1952 Vincent Black Lightning by Richard Thompson "Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme"	I heard the quote before ever hearing the song. This bizarre love song is off of Rumor & Sigh I was able to hear him preform it live with the band in 2000 and then solo in 2003. Have to admit I was amazed at his rendition of Oops! I Did It Again
Safe and Warm by Lojo Russo	This song is off her first CD understated. She also used to play in Cats Laughing and in Gallowglass with Ken Larson and in Funks Grove	(photo by DDB)
No Passanger" by Boiled in Lead "I been searching for a sparrow in a city full of wrens"	This is from The Gypsy CD. I'm a LeadHead! My second favorite CD of theirs is Antler Dance
Will You? by Hazel O'Connor "It's getting kinda late now. I wonder if you'llstay now, stay now, stay now, stay now or, will you just politely say "goodnight"."	Song is from the Breaking Glass Soundtrack. I enjoyed the entire soundtrack from the movie Breaking Glass I met my friend Steve Macdonald when he played this song at a Congenial.
Demeter's Daughter by Bawdy Balladeers "Oh yes, it's true then that life is good, and I've learned the lesson it can teach"	Written by Anne Lister The Bawdy Balladeers used to be at the Maryland Renaissance Festival
Campfire by Brian Joseph "She set my soul alight. Did I mention..."	Found Brian thru West Side Folk, also love We're Gonna Laugh which is one of Pooch and I's songs. My Album Reviews: Somewhere and Laugh
