summer's gonna have to wait

My musings on summer, of which I have many, will have to wait a week. Tomorrow morning, I fly to Norfolk, VA and then motor to Corolla, NC on the Outer Banks. A week full of cousins, good food and the ocean is just what the doctor ordered!

Anyway, you know the rules at this point. Fire up that iPod and tell the blogosphere what's playing. The first ten songs. No skipping past or rationalizing the embarrassing tracks (even if it's Celine Dion!). Afterwards you might want to entertain us with who you've seen live, and favs and least favs...

Here's the set:
1. downtown (absolutely live)--christine lavin
2. someone like you (linda eder)--linda eder
3. we are the true americans (live at the cactus cafe)--christine lavin
4. on the air (little star)--girlyman
5. goodnight, elisabeth (recovering the satellites)--counting crows
6. rocky mountain high (best of john denver)--john denver
7. iowa (out there live)--dar williams
8. living on a prayer (slippery when wet)--bon jovi
9. the sweetness (love and china)--nerissa and katryna nields
10. gypsy rose (flower of avalon)--tracy grammer

Random Comment: Living on a Prayer is the only song I've ever sung for karaoke, but ALWAYS in a group. It was the "theme song" for my cohort in the teaching program.

Seen Live: Linda Eder, Girlyman, Dar, N&K, Tracy Grammer

Majorly Enjoyed: "We Are the True Americans," "On the Air," "Iowa," "The Sweetness"

Minorly Enjoyed: "Goodnight Elisabeth" (a song I adore, but it killed the mood)

Favorite Album: I am loving Flower of Avalon right now

Least Favorite Album: Not really a bad album here

Favorite Lyric: "Nothing would ever happen if we always stayed the same" (another nod to NFN!)
