I hope this is how its going to be:   

I've worn out the world
I'm on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night
And the moon's never seen me before
But I'm reflecting light .
 
Keep reflecting, my dear. We'll keep the good thoughts coming.

Alarm's Rain in the summertime is on my list. Always seems to bring a tear to my eye.

The best to you.

I wonder how much she'd charge me to just have her on my porch, composing, playing guitar, and singing when I get home from work. I could see budgeting for this. Love her stuff.

  heheh.  A little harsh but I have to agree with your assessment.  A few EP songs would be a nice addition to RP I think. Pretty good song though

Is this a waltz? I am reminding of following the invisible 'box' on the floor in a dancing class. ooonnnneee, twothree, ooonnneee, twothree. (Insert waltzing bananas here.)

Adding this to my list. Thanks, Bill!

I love Sam Phillips, and would love to find that "Midnght Clear" recording... does anyone know where I can get it?

Sam's music gets better with each release, in my opinion. Perhaps not as approachable, but I thoroughly enjoy the gypsy jazz influence on her last two releases. It is amazing that she is not more popular, though Martinis and Bikinis did get some decent exposure with television and movie soundtracks.

BTW, her rendition of "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" on the movie soundtrack for "A Midnight Clear" was stunning, and worth watching the movie. (The movie was pretty good too). Her song was so good, Bruce Cockburn covered it on his Christmas album, though his version wasn't nearly as good.

Don't know. Martinis and Bikinis is one of my all time favorite CD's. Well worth checking out if you like this. Very beatlesque.

First listen. Very nice. Love those strings, which give this the feel of a song from a romantic film from the 40's.

I really like the sound of this. It has a sort of melancholy sound that I like. A little reminiscent of Janis Ian.

I love the background (cello?). Very Tom Waits arrangement. Beautiful song.
