Browsing through my saved Tidal albums...........................this.

Eric Bibb & Habib Koite - Brothers in Bamako.

A lovely melodic collaboration between two accomplished singer / musicians.................not unlike the Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate joint efforts so loved on this forum.

Certainly worth a listen..............highly recommended. nod

Revisiting the recordings of Brahms' violin concerto on my shelf, I'm struck by the excellence of this performance. A grower.

Eric Clapton - I still do

Just wanted to say that for me the stand out track is a sublime version of Dylan's I dreamed I saw St Augustine. really don't get all this fuss about his failure to acknowledge his Nobel prize for lieterature. Seems we can't tolerate a little eccentricity.

He'll turn up in dark glasses, collect his award and mumble a few words that even the front two rows will struggle to catch, and leave. I salute him for it :-)

Now for John Wesley Harding
