Support Independent Musicians

I love it when I find a great new musical obsession.  Last year, I discovered SONOS through an NPR interview .  These are some talented musicians who deserve every possible success. After their first two recording efforts (both of which are AMAZING!) they split from their record label (Verve).  Now they are in the process of recording their third album and they need some grassroots support to make it happen.  For as little as $5, you can get a copy of their newest album when it is published just by committing to the cause NOW.  Please go to their Grassroots Project and pledge your financial support by the end of April. Then tell all your friends! If you like their music (or want to find out more about them), you can find them on Facebook as well.   Happy listening!

( note to self: book blog post imminent for sure) This is about 1/2 of our collection.  Just half.  My tastes are pretty eclectic.  The CD shelves hold pop hits from the 80s and jazz standards from the 60s, Disney classics and classic Genesis, well known artists like Sheryl Crow and the Counting Crows and lesser known fare like The Mighty...
