 Major father's day gift: Chavez Ravine, Ry Cooder's latest CD. I had been waiting for this opus to hit iTunes, and finally spotted it Friday evening. Spouse Linda was dismayed when I said 'you have to hear this' after downloading the album... stepson, musical-cognoscenti John had bought it for a father's day gift.
The happy ending is that the CD has a wonderful booklet chronicling the times, the music and lists the musicians - sadly missing from iTunes. As a former long-time LA resident, this gift reverberated in a special way. Do listen to this album, especially if you're an LA resident or alumni: Onde Callejara is a good choice for an entry point, but the whole album deserves listening time. Even better, was the very special father's day artwork that John chose as a father's day card (pictured). Guess a guy is blessed when his stepson and spouse both know him (and care) this much... |
