what I've been grooving to, lately, these days, these years

Dear All,

In Reply to Koen,
and in regard to what I've been grooving to, lately...  ?

As the father of two lads, who are now 19 & 23,  many years ago I had 
to deal with them enjoying Blink 182, and bands equally primitive. Argh!!
But over the past two years or so we've reached a point where they 
are bringing tunes back home that I am mightily impressed by.... such 
as "Ships" by Danieleson Famile (I hope I've spelled that right) and 
"Rise Above" by the Dirty Projectors. (NB We're talking about "Rise 
Above" in particular, since after that highpoint, the DP's have 
migrated downhill, in tandem with increased popularity, I take it.)

On the other hand, I've still not been able to bring them to the full 
excellence of Jane's Walking, Kate's Dreaming or Joni's Hissing.
They kinda get it, but not the full force of it.

-- the white tent, the raft y'all!

PS Did anyone else watch the Bachrach-David honor concert at the 
Whitehouse, on PBS, last night?
Pretty standard (and I'm a major BB-HD fan), but Stevie Wonder's 
harmonica solo on "Alfie" was Epic!
His two numbers were the highpoint, indeed.
