7 songs

I don't think I have any songs I'm particularly into at the moment, at least as opposed to other moments.  There's a lot of stuff I like.  But I do find my self listening to:

Softly, as in a  Morning Sunrise   Very old, but I have a jazz version by Regina Carter and Kenny Barron on piano.
Maria                                                 From Westside Story, but played by Ellis and Branford Marsalis
Bogey's Bonnie Belle                    Several versions, but my favorite is the Battlefield Band
Are ya Sleepin', Maggie                 Alasdair Fraser   
Cara Luna                                       Bacilos
Até o fim                                          Chico Buarque
Daily Growing                                Altan

I first learned Daily Growing under other titles by Joan Baez and Judy Collins, back in the 60s.  Yes, Cabell, I knew about Childe ballads before you were even born!  By the way, Altan has a version of the Two Sisters on their album Local Ground; I always think of you when I hear songs about fratricide (or sororicide, as the case may be).

Oh, and actually I recently got an album by Pink Martini that I really like, especially a cut called Amado Mio, even if their singing chick can't pronounce a  Spanish intervocalic D (not the hardest thing in the world).
