Hmmm..its an 'hmmm' kind of day. The leaves of the trees are still falling here in California and rolling along the ground in the gentle Santa Ana winds, the flowers are showing their bud beginnings, the bees are busy gathering pollen, 'Plum Delight' is in full bloom in the front yard,  the hummingbirds are dancing in the air and it is a beautiful day. Wish I could share it with you all. In the meantime, enjoy my picks today, no accident the artists all start with 'M'.

'Sail On Sailor'
Mustard Seed Faith
Side 2 'Sweet Jesus Morning' 'More Than Sunlight'
Christian Rock
Nice instrumentals, harmonies and melodies on this album.

'Blue Sky * Night Thunder'
Micheal Murphy
Side I 'Wildfire' 'Blue Sky riding Song'
Country Rock
One of my Top Ten favorite songs, is 'Wildfire'.
Why? For one its one of the few songs I can sing great to! LOL
There are some really sweet banjo picking on this one!
That reminds me of a talented 'M' I will have to listen to after the next set!

'Higher Power'
Darrell Mansfield
Side Two Title Song
Christian Rock
Nice harmonica blues from a talented guitarist.

'Let's Get Small'
Steve Martin
Side One 'Ramblin Man'
Ok, I hinted I was going to play someone who is a great banjo picker. Steve Martin is a great musican but this blog is also about listening to LP's and thats where I have Steve Martin filed in my collection under "M'.
Hmmmm.

'Spanish Eyes'

Side One 'Spanish Eyes' 'Make the World Go Away'
Pop

'Moon Dance'
Van Morrison
