Yo-Yo Ma!

I love that name...

Yo-Yo Ma!

[The_Media_never_lie]

I love Yo Yo's music, especially Appalachian Spring. It's the greatest CD I own! Five Stars!

Some courageous musicians

Especially laudable for Ma, in light of the fact that he has associated with Democrat politicians in the past. Nice to see an artist of the Left express some independence of thought.

[Fresh Wind]

I love Yo Yo's music...

Well, it has it's ups and downs. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) Seriously, he is great!

Brian McNight is also pretty good as well. I think he has had some high profile duets with some good singers that have been hits

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[hoosiermama]

Didn't Condi do some duets with Yo Yo?

[rabidralph]

It seems that they discussed more than musical arrangements.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Aaron Copeland is the bomb!

[flying Elvis]

Yes, and it was outstanding.

[A_perfect_lady]

Yay! Finally a CD I don't have to be ashamed to own!

[GraniteStateConservative]

They'd make a nice couple for the GOP.

[RooRoobird14]

Well, that does it!! After work I'm off to the store to find "Appalachian Spring" by YoYo Ma and something from Brian McNight.

I just bought "Home" by the Dixie Chicks, who (like almost all country western musicians) are good patriots. (It's only my second country-western CD purchase, Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A. being my first).

[Mr. Mulliner]

I live near Nashville and recently heard that the Dixie Chicks are pro-choice and pretty liberal. What had you heard that makes you think they're patriots? You can't survive in country music without doing a little flag-waving, but even some liberals will do that when it will advance their careers.
