Kinda OT, but in college I had trouble getting up in the morning (who didn't?). So one evening, I popped Metallica-ReLoad in the computer (which was hooked up to my stereo to be used as a CD player), turned up the volume, and set the computer to turn on at 7 AM. The chime didn't get me up, but James Hetfeild yelling "Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire!" certainly got me out of bed quickly!

I gave up caffine coffee so I need something to wake me up

Ken that reminds me of a dude in one of the rooms down the hallway of our army barracks back in the mid seventies, each and every morning he'd crank (very loud) up Pink Floyd's 'Money' ... I never did use an alarm clock while he was there and even after all of these years I still think of that whenever I hear the song.

funny, I was just listening to that this morning when the wife was out at garage sales.

Another rainy Saturday afternoon, the wife is gone for the day visiting her mother so while out taking care of my 'to do' list that was left for me I just happened to find and picked up these music DVDs ... Austin City Limits '2005 Music Festival' DVD, John Fogerty's 'The Long Road Home' DVD and also the Jerry Garcia Band's 'Live At Shoreline' DVD ... Good Sheeeet Man!

Anybody ever listen to the The Black Keys? Along with the above DVDs I picked up their 'Chulahoma' CD (Tribute to Junior Kimbrough) ....very good stuff.

I *may* be in trouble 'cause the 'to do' list wasn't completed (started?) but what the hey, there's always tomorrow .... right?

Sean, you want harp, get this , which includes Ravel's exquisitely beautiful Introduction and Allegro and Debussy's Danses Sacree et Profane.

My mother-in-law can play Stairway to Heaven on the harp...

You two ever played it as a duet?

Yes Peter, harp music can be a heavenly prelude indeed. On the other hand some might more appropriately listen to Tchaikovsky's Franceska da Rimini.

Boz Scaggs Greatest Hits Live DVD. Very smooooooth
