<p>*Congratulations.</p>

<p>You won the ticket lottery and the chance to purchase tickets to the Pearl Jam show on March 18th at the Paramount Theatre (911 Pine Street). Your credit card information has been accepted, and now you need to collect your tickets …*</p>

<p>Almost any CD by Putamayo! And I am obsessed with Natasha St. Pier. I heard her on a United Airlines “Eurobeat” audio channel and bought her latest CD at the Paris airport. I bought her previous CD on Ebay.</p>

<p>Son burned me a cd of all Zydeco and another of Motown hits. I also have an Ellis Marsaliss CD, Who’s Next and Sprinstein’s Born to Run in the 6-CD changer.</p>

<p>Shins CD my son made
Rubber Soul
Camelot (yeah, I’m a sucker for that one)
George Harrison, best of
Dave Matthews (again, my son picked the ones he knew I’d like)</p>

<p>I like Putamayo too
and zydeco
and Motown</p>

<p>My favorite though is old stuff from before I was born
Ella Bille Satchmo
Porgy and Bess
Miles</p>

<p>I decided I needed to try listening to some different stuff, so this past couple of weeks it has been:</p>

<p>Claude Bollings Suite for Cello
Claude Bollings Suite for Flute
Bill Evans
Barenaked Ladies
Clarence Greenwood
Adagio for Strings
Phantom of the Opera (15 year old girl is playing it whenever she gets a chance)
Sweet Honey in the Rock
April Lavigne (11 year old girl child just got this CD)</p>

<p>This can vary so much from time to time, but here’s what’s playing on the main 6-CD changer:</p>

<p>1 – Mahler --Symphony No. 5</p>

<p>2 – Portrait of Yo Yo Ma (I am in a MAJOR cello-loving phase)</p>

<p>3 – Genesis, Archives 1967-1975 – CD#4 – demos, rough mixes, and unreleased tracks from 1967-1970</p>

<p>4 – Neil Finn – Try Whistling This</p>

<p>5 – Prince – The Black Album</p>

<p>6 – Ralph Towner / Gary Burton – Matchbook</p>

<p>Yikes! Any pattern here (other than “stuff I like”)?</p>

<p>Methinks my car stereo selection is currently much more “patterned,” currently focusing on the 1972-1975 era works from the English progressive rock groups Camel and Gentle Giant.</p>

<p>More: no pattern, just stuff i like:</p>

<p>Edie Brickell (Volcano cd)
Van Morrison (Moondance cd)
