Controversial one, this:

listen smart*ss between you and Archie(amusing space)tect, sensitive souls like me could get put off opening our hearts on these types of threads. I'm off to sulk, listen to both tracks and possibly have a little cry!!!

This used to reduce me to tears. Still does.

Hey, what did I do wrong? <injured innocence>

[not my choice to use the underscore- it was the only separation device I could use.... !]

MacB, just call me Chris here on in!

...cos that's my name.

I'm belatedly getting into Townes Van Zandt and i can't believe I've missed him all these years - I know some of the songs like Pancho and Lefty of course, but never registered how much incredible stuff he did. Which of the studio albums would you recommend?

Mort - I'd recommend 'Live at The Old Quarterhouse, Texas' it's a double with lots of great songs and it'll give you a good idea of what he's about - his between song patter can be surprisingly funny too.
The LP 'Flying Shoes' is my favourite and his last studio album for quite some years. After his death there were tons of best of and live CDs, but stick to any of the original LPs and you won't go far wrong.
There's a lot of gritty stuff to contend with but worth a listen.
You might be interested in the DVD 'Heartworn Highways' which has some good TVZ, and others, footage.

Berlioz' not quite a viola concerto - Harold in Italy - from about 4 to 6 minutes in this recording (the sul pont bit).

with pleasure, but I wasn't actually offended

Stop it you lot, I'm welling up now!

I'm going to offer this as an antidote:-

Rodrigos "Concerto de Orange Juice"!.........Concertio de Aranjuez.

Nice whoever performs it but this one works rather well.

[Campfire]

Barber's Adagio, they play it when there's something sad happening in the world being reported on the news. I chose it as one of the pieces of music at my Dad's funeral. It's very moving.

Come Away with Me Norah Jones

[Cheddar George]

Musically the theme to "Midnight Cowboy", but lyrically nothing comes close to "alone again, naturally" by Gilbert O'Sullivan.

This always makes me weepy,
