Comment:

Title from Richard Howard's "A Phenomenon of Nature."...Oh for God's Sake, Sophie, speak, speak...
You cannot 'bother' me. I am no
companion for myself. I must not
be alone with myself - that is why
I write : to write is to say I am
not the only one. But even here
above the blue surge and the white surf,
I am the Babylon I must go
out of, or I perish...Do you know
why I let you lure me back to this -
this nature you celebrate so much,
this wrack and ruin of rock and sea?
Do you know why I am ready, now,
for what was ruin to become model?
Because nature is already there.
Because I do not have to make it.
'To Capri then I came'...an old man
exhausted by his own energies....

I'd love to hear 3, 7 and 8 ... the rest are as obscure to me as usual. : )

Where DO you get these artists? I see none of them at Best Buy.Can you suggest one of your mixes that is very dreamy, say that one might want on the boombox at a quiet picnic by a stream?

Falls off his seat, in recognition of track 3. That's it though.
