Rediscovering old favorites (oh no, ANOTHER music thread!)
Decided to change my music buying habits up a bit recently and picked up a couple of CD's from my early childhood.
My Dad is a Willie Nelson nut. I've always like Willie, but I don't own any of his music. Well, I remember my Dad playing "Red Headed Stranger" on vinyl (of course) when I was 4 or 5 and loving it. I picked up the CD and what a wonderful experience it is to hear this music again. I have a feeling its not just about the music (which is superb) but about my emotional ties to it. Memory is such a wonderful and mysterious aspect of our intellect.
Also picked up the soundtrack to "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" which I often refer to as my favorite film of all time. The music has always been a major aspect of that stance. Got goosebumps when I got to "L'Estasi Del Oro" at the end of the disc. Someone will recall why from a movie thread. IMO, the greatest movie scene of all time.
I think I'll do more of this.
Cash live at Folsom is next on my list. I know many of you already have it.
