  Music for "Tough Times"
When you're feeling lousy, or maybe just had a tough day, what one LP, CD, tape, etc. do you play to make you feel better? In my case it's Cowboy Junkies CD "The Caution Horses". Margo Timmins voice is at once soft and soothing, but also haunting and immediate. This is music that I can get lost in. What music do others use on occasions like this?

Well now Craig, this is something I'm a true expert at. When I was told I'd only live another 12 months max. (4 years ago) I was as far down as I want to experience. I found music and prozac to be quite helpful. My selections tended to be rather dark in nature, geeze I wonder why. I listened to Sheryl Crow "Tuesday Night Music Club" (yea I know, a real audiophile favorite) but only three songs, over and over and over... That might be a sign of some sort of depression, but don't quote me on that. The three were "No One Said It Would Be Easy", "We Do What We Can" and "I Shall Believe" each is about 5 1/2 minutes. "I Shall Believe" I could listen to 100 times when I'm down. My other disks included Rosanna Cash "10 Song Demo", Siri's Svale Band "Blackbird", an old stand-by Bob Dylan "Blood on the Tracks" and anything Cowboy Junkies. My new addition and the disk for all occasions, Patricia Barber "Café Blue" Sorry all you who are totally sick of Ms. Barber, but she always works for me! Well Craig, that's my list, great question and thanks for listening. I would guess from my two years in the Pacific Northwest that right about now you are looking for what ever you can to get rid of the rainy day blues. Stay well, J.D.
