  • : 1. <i>Rant and Roar</i>

    1. Rant and Roar

    Compilation of Up and Play and the first GBS recording I owned...hooked me for good. (*****)

  • : 2. <i>Turn</i>

    2. Turn

    Many feel that this is stll the best GBS album...I don't agree but it still has some great, great songs. Consequence Free has some interesting lyrics about how we all wish to live. Boston and St. John's continues to grow on me in its stunning beauty. I'm a Rover is just a great party song and totally fun live with GBS. (****)

  • : 3. <i>Road Rage</i>

    3. Road Rage

    GBS live. There's no better way to experience this music than live with hundreds of others shouting out the songs we've all come to know and love. (*****)

  • : 4. <i>Sea of No Cares</i>

    4. Sea of No Cares

    Another great studio release showing even finer work from GBS. Highlights for me are Sea of No Cares, Scolding Wife and A Boat Like Gideon Brown. (****)

  • : 5. <i>Something Beautiful</i>

    5. Something Beautiful

    A lot of fans were disappointed that there weren't as many traditional songs on this recording as on previous ones. While it is more of a set of "pop" tunes, this is still a great album (and they promised to followup with an all traditional album...which they have...see The Hard and the Easy below). My favorites: When I Am King, Sally Ann, John Barbour and Lucky Me. (****)

  • : 6. <i>Great Big DVD & CD</i>

    6. Great Big DVD & CD

    GBS live again but this time not just a CD, but a DVD as well. This is an essential purchase for the entire planet. No, really. (*****)

  • : 7. <i>The Hard & The Easy</i>

    7. The Hard & The Easy

    This is the much anticipated all trad cd that the fans have all waited for. Who doesn't need a recording entirely devoted to traditional songs of Newfoundland? Need it. Got to have it. No wait. I already do! (*****)

  • : 8. <i>Courage & Patience & Grit - Great Big Sea In Concert</i>

    8. Courage & Patience & Grit - Great Big Sea In Concert
    This is another CD and DVD combo from GBS. This time it's live from the tour supporting The Hard and the Easy. An excellent concert - like all their concerts - but it was clearly towards the end of the tour and Alan is more than a little tired in voice. Not in spirit though! Still a worthwhile addition to the GBS world. (****)

Southwest Is the Best!

I love Southwest Airlines. Great fares. Great specials. They fly where I want to fly (except for Ireland!). Great customer service. Quite a bit of humor (or 'humour' in Ireland).

Southwest.com My 'weekend', what with my working for a church, is Monday and Tuesday (although I generally work on Tuesdays anyway). So early tomorrow morning I'm flying out to LA for just a couple days and seeing some great people (first boss Jim, most recent prof Gary and stick banging friend Mark).

Only about $200 round trip.

Ding. I'm free to move about the country.
