I liked that a lot more than I was prepared to admit!!


.
Honestly, that was my reaction when the band first popped up in my suggestions on YouTube. Now they show up on my Pandora station all the time. She has a great voice and definitely doesn't hurt the eyes to look at.

Title says it all....... what band/music are you listening to today? Link it if you can.


For me it's Mumford and Sons today....



Just heard "Another Saturday Night," the Cat Stevens version. Flashed on a suicide I got called to document in 1976 or 77. Guy was a construction worker. We found him on the Eglin AFB range, in a running car. Still had most of a tank of gas, and paper to show he just bought the car. Had $800 in twenties in his wallet, a brand new Buck knife, which he'd used to cut a brand new garden hose in half. Stuffed the cut ends in the tailpipe, ran them into the back seat window, and sat there sniffing model airplane glue and drinking beer, from a new case of each he had the receipts for, until we found him. I wonder if he had been listening to that song that night. Young guy, with a job and money, on an early Sunday morning. I got news later that day that a family friend had just died of cancer up at Ft. Rucker that day, so I was PO'd at the guy for years.

I was listening to podcasts this morning, but I’ve switched back to the Audible version of The Watchmaker’s Daughter by Larry Loftis. It’s the story of WWII heroine Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch lady who hid Jews and Dutch Divers (young Dutch men who would otherwise have been sent to Germany as slave labor) in the house above her father’s watch shop, ending up in the Ravensbruck concentration camp for her trouble.

It’s history written in the style of a thriller. Loftis was on Jack Carr’s Danger Close podcast last week if you want to learn more about the book.
Back when I wore a younger man's clothes, I got to listen to her talk about her life & experiences at a church event.
