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).
