Okay, I recognize many of those... dweeb that I am when it comes to current musical tastes... but Ceoltóirí caught my eye, as sounding like something I'd realllyreallllly like. Gotta go check that one out. [returns from iTunes with a gleam in her eye] Which album would you recommend?

We have two: Silver Apples of the Moon, and Women of Ireland. I don't have a preference as to which is better, they're both quite nice. Gordon Bok is cool, solo he does a lot of sea chanty songs.

One thing that will be sort of nice about my job ending soon is it will recover a fair piece of space off my laptop, making my MP3 collection a little better centralized: currently it's spread across three drive letters. ;)

And I'll give you music dweeb: I used to have my music amazingly cataloged in Access. My old data consisted of 326 discs. The average year of release? 1985. Discs by that year:

Pat Benatar: Seven The Hard Way
The Canadian Brass: A Canadian Brass Christmas
The Cars: The Cars Greatest Hits
The Dead Milkmen: Big Lizard in my Backyard
Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms
Don Dorsey: Bach Busters
Oingo Boingo: Dead Man's Party
The Alan Parsons Project: Stereotomy
Talking Heads: Little Creatures
Pete Townshend: White City
Vangelis: Mask
Suzanne Vega: Suzanne Vega

I REALLY need to update my database! I've personally acquired 150 CDs since then, plus I now have Russet's collection merged in.

You're proving to be an expensive man to know. :( First the twitch I've developed about maybe actually wanting an iPod or MP3 player, and now music I honestly can't afford right now. :( :( :( Or for that matter, wanting to rip my CD collection into my computer where, actually, I don't want to listen to it... just because then I can spend a few weeks of my life making playlists to burn and take in the car.

I can't imagine being a-r enough to Access my music collection, but then I really don't like Access anyway. Back in the vinyl days, though, everything was perfectly alphabetical so I could find what I wanted. Now, it's sorta organized by type, but in two separate cabinets which keeps me from changing things up much.

You wouldn't believe how a-r I was about logging stuff in Access! But then again, I've been doing database development for 20 years, it be what I do.

I'll post more later, now I've got to get moving and hit the road! Fortunately I just have to get my clothes pack, my photo gear is ready to transfer to my car.

Still snowy up here, but no new snow last night. We went down to Chili's for my birthday late last night and had no snow problems, so it should be fine. I've got steady rivults of melt outside my kitchen window.

If I wanted to spend my time doing database work, I'd database my artwork, originals specifically. Then I'd know what kind of price I was asking from one convention to another, what prices I actually receive, what I actually own at any given time, who I did it for, what product(s) it was published in, size, medium...

...but oh yeah, I have a life. Theoretically at least. lol

Russ recommended Silver Apples of the Moon. I've heard a lot of the Women of Ireland and quite like it, they're both good IMO.
