Lots of new stuff to listen to! One album I've just discovered via NPR's "Top 100 Albums of 2018" list is Jeremy Dutcher's "Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa". Dutcher puts his operatic training to good use, but this is something entirely different. Sung entirely in Wolastoq, a endangered Canadian First Nations language, it's (mostly piano-driven) arrangements and interpretations of traditional songs, revived from wax cylinder recordings. It's obviously a passion project for Dutcher, and it's really well done. Very powerful stuff - check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnDJNoNVqGw for a sample. My other highlights this year (those that I can remember, anyway): - - Amy Ray, Holler - - Ashley Monroe, Sparrow - - Lori McKenna, The Tree - - Indigo Girls, Live With the University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra - - Missy Higgins, Solastalgia Cheers, Sherlyn - -- Sherlyn Koo - sherlyn@pixelopolis.com - Sydney, Australia ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2018 03:00:00 -0500 (EST) From: Mike Matthews Subject: Today's your birthday, friends... i*i*i*i*i*i i*i*i*i*i*i *************** *****HAPPY********* **************BIRTHDAY********* *************************************************** *************************************************************************** **************** Laura Clifford (laura@reelingreviews.com) **************** ********************* Dirk Kastens (no Email address) ********************* ************************ Milla (no Email address) ************************* ****************** Chris Schernwetter (no Email address) ****************** ******************** Sherry Haddock (no Email address) ******************** *************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Laura Clifford Tue December 17 1957 Sagittarius Dirk Kastens Tue December 17 1963 Sagittarius Milla Wed December 17 1975 Sagittarius Chris Schernwetter Tue December 17 1974 Sagittarius Sherry Haddock Sat December 17 1960 Sagittarius Tracy Benbrook Tue December 18 1973 Sagittarius Mark Lowry Mon December 22 1969 Capricarius Kay Cleaves Wed December 22 1976 Prancing Pony Uli Grepel Wed December 25 1968 Steinbock Joseph Wasicek Sat December 25 1976 Brown Eagle Stuart Castergine Mon December 30 1963 You Are Here Marvin Camras Sat January 01 1916 Tapehead Jeanne Schreiter Tue January 03 1967 Capricorn John Sandoval Wed January 04 1967 Capricorn Aly Fields Thu January 04 1990 Yield Paul Cohen Tue January 05 1954 Capricorn Tony Garrity Mon January 08 1962 Pool of Life Greg Bossert Tue January 09 1962 OfTheTimes Troy J.
