I admit, I'm still warming up to Andrew Peterson's voice, but a lot of his lyrics are very nice, and he's got an all-star cast of musicians backing him up.
I'm enough of a musical geek that I can often hear a guitar or mando or fiddle in the background on something and think "Hey, that sounds like so-and-so", and when we were listening to those CDs for the first time, I *knew* they were pros. Turns out he's got most of Allison Krauss's band backing him up on some cuts, plus Stuart Duncan (GREAT fiddler), and others I can't recall at the moment. Just outstanding musicianship on his albums. I notice stuff like that!
Thanks Suzi! It's a really lovely blender and I've been wanting one for ages.
Good grief, is it 1:30 already? That's what happen when geeky people play cards and order pizza. The other girl there was the only non-compsci person there, poor thing, we kept making dreadful geek jokes and she didn't quite get them.
