What I'm Listening To #3

I told you that my tastes were ecclectic.... So tonight's it a Scottish folk artist: Dougie MacLean.

A longtime favorite, I actually had the privilege of hearing him perform live in the ballroom of a hotel in Lexington, Kentucky back in 1987. He's a terrific performer.

If you like melodic tunes with singable words on inspirational topics, buy any of his CDs. The concerts are better than the studio discs -- the cover paintings on the latter are the works of his artist, wife: Credit for which appears no where on any of the album covers...so it must be a fact that I remember from that concert many years ago now....
