An ongoing playlist of what I am listening to, either at the moment or most recently, whether it's a vinyl LP, a CD, an internet stream, or something on the iPod. Classical, folk, jazz, roots, blues, Gospel, Celtic music, ancient music, early music, modern music, post-modern music, world music, Texas music, red dirt music, sublime music, annoying music... it's all here (sans commentary).

THE ALAMO
Dimitri Tiomkin
Columbia
The thirteen day siege of the Alamo ended 174 years ago this morning, when several thousand soldiers of the largest and best trained standing army in the Americas overwhelmed approximately 180 Texians, killing all combatants inside the fortified mission, at a loss of well over one thousand infantry.
Victory or death! Remember the Alamo!
