Bruce Springsteen

I forgot to mention that during my lenten period I have expanded my taste for music out "the Boss." I have never listened his music except for what's on the radio. I find him a very a great storyteller like Chase has alluded to, but I can't quite get into his sound yet. I think it will take some time. Currently I am listening to "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions." I just listen to whatever I find at the library.

JOE.

I am happy to hear this.

I am in the process of preparing a Spring Break Springsteen Gift Set for you (and anyone else who might be interested in a little Bruce 101).

It is composed of:

...Greetings from Asbury Park
The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle
Born to Run.

THE essential Bruce records. The most important one, Nebraska, is at this time not on my computer, and I don't feel like transfering it from my mp3 player at this moment.

So. As soon as Mywebspace is done taking 4 hours to upload, I will give you the link.

But just something to look forward to. You may find the musical elements of these (his first three) much more aesthetically pleasing. At this time, they got annoyingly disorganized in the Gift Set, but any computer mp3 player should sort those issues out upon arrival.

Enjoy... well soon.

As promised Mr Tea Talker,

Let me know if that works.

Not to brag or anything, but if it doesnt, I won't be able to help you out until March 13th... Tomorrow afternoon I'm head for travel pleasures. I'm going to be in Poland for the next 10 days and the Czech Republic for 3 more.

I'll kiss the ground of your motherland for you Joe.

Also, I found a (yes, the following is true) French Canadian band who I am currently enjoying listening to.

Let me know if you are interested.
