How about a statistician?  They're also good with numbers, but don't quite have the personality for accounting.

It's twilight on Christmas Eve, big snowflakes are falling gently outside my window, the house is unusually quiet, and this is on.

Allow me to pause for a moment to take it in.

I didn't even realize there was a segue until I heard Paul Simon's voice.  Spectacular!  {#Dance}

An angel walks among us, and his name is Art Garfunkel. BTW, six years is too long for this one to stay out of the RP rotation. Just sayin...

There are some beautiful tracks on the soundtrack of Motorcycle Diaries (Gustavo Santaolalla) that would segue in very nicely here. 'Ushuaia' for one...

Well, it's been mentioned before, but this is the best transition I've heard on RP so far. Fantastic Bill!

This song reminds me a graffitti I saw in La Paz, Bolivia. 'El Condor pasa, la dictadura queda' which is roughly 'Condor passes, dictatorship remains'

"I'd rather be a hammer than a nail"

I guess that sums up George Bush's attitude... I never would have thought he would have anything in common with Paul Simon.

Yes, they're better together...I never really cared that much for this song years ago, but it sure sounds great to me now. I love this and all of their other albums.

Yeah, man... those three songs together are absolutely fantastic. I think Bill does transitions better than any DJ I've ever heard. So good.

Yeah, that really caught fire, eh? Can't count the number of times my friends have sat around saying, "Gee, I wish there was a Peruvian pipe music band in town right now."


It's true that people generally don't wonder whether there's a Peruvian pipe music band in town, any more than they wonder whether Big Head Todd and the Monsters is playing nearby. Anyway, thanks to "El Condor Pasa" and RP for providing the name of the geographical location, I'll be exploring Peruvian music.
