Haha Chris, that’s a GOOD one I’ll give you that, I can see that working on your sens of humor finally gave you a girlfriend 
Mmmm Jerky…
Okay Az,
That’s it… “finally gave you a girlfriend”???
I haven’t had more than a 4 month period over the last 8 years without a girlfriend (or at least some sort of fine, female companion :roll:
Chris
I’d find this thread more useful if in addition to the witty banter about jerky, you’d suggest some good CDs from the Green Linnet catalog. I happened to buy “Steam” last time around, and I have Ivers’ new CD as well, so I’d love suggestions of some good pure drop.

Excellent! So if I just practice my impersonation of you, then I should have no problem driving the women away, eh?
Could you, perhaps, send me a video of you going over your best/worst pick up lines, so that I can practice imitating them? That would be great.
Thanks sincerely,
Chris

Excellent! My new technique must be working already!!!

Chris, some of my favorite pick up lines:
-
Hey, you look like this gorgeous gal in Star Trek!
-
Your fingers are amazing, I’m sure they’d do great on my Microsoft keyboard! Did you know that AMD is as good as a Pentium? Have you ever used Linux?
-
Nice ring… have you seen Lords of the Ring? This elf dude is great, he can shoot two arrows at the same time!
Anyway, it seems to keep women away. If you ever need me again, I’m there for you
ROTFLMFAO
Dude, Azalin, you win… that was the funniest thing I’ve read in days.
That, my friend, is why I like you so much!
Your pal,
Chris
Hey I want some Jerky! I get mine a farmers markets. That way when I spend $5 I get a pound, and not 4oz. No I’m not on crack I’m sky high on Cafine…
Chris,
Can you give a quick mini-review on Moving Cloud - Foxglove. I need one more CD to make up my order.
Thks
Sure enough…
http://www.greenlinnet.com/listen/ra/1186.ram
There you have the entire album in streaming Realaudio format
That shoudl help you, eh?
Best,
Chris
Not really…
I cannot download any Real Player files to my computer at work for some reason. Thats why I was hoping for an educated opinion.
Don’t worry about it though…I’ll probably order it anyhow based on the tracks and artists…it certainly sounds great.
thanks again
No problem Gerry.
Hmm… Moving Cloud…
In my opinion, Moving Cloud plays in the best of the old Clare style. The tunes sound like they’re being played for dancers and are played with a lovely, playful, rock steady rythm and a nice lift.
This is really old fashioned sounding music, so if you don’t like the older styles I’d steer clear of this. If, however, you dig the older, very traditional styles of playing, you’ll dig this CD enormously.
Most of the CD is played tuned up into Eb, which helps to give it that bright sound that is so much fun.
Also, Moving Cloud are not afraid to play more than just reels and jigs. This CD is full of barndances, slides, polkas, mazurkas and all sorts of fun stuff.
All the musicians (most of whom are a bit on the older side) are true masters of the grand old Clare style. A nice highlight for a flute/whistle player like myself is Kevin Crawford’s sublime playing. It’s really wonderful to hear how well he adapts his playing to match the ultra-traditional, set-dance style of this band. His playing and his tone, are completely different here than in Lunasa.
If you like the old music and you want to feel like you’re at a great old set dance in Lisdoonvarna or thereabouts, this is the album for you.
Best,
Chris
Thanks so much Chris…
I really do like the old style so this CD should be right up my alley. I was speaking with Martin Hayes about this a few weeks ago when he was here in Ottawa and he also admitted to being a lover of the Ceili Band style of music.
I am looking forward to getting this along with the other 5 CD’s I’m ordering from Green Linnet:
Patrick Street, Street Life
Gavin, Frankie, Frankie Goes To Town
The Green Fields Of America, Live in Concert
Lúnasa, Otherworld
Williams, John, Steam
The only one I’m not sure about is ‘The Green Fields Of America, Live in Concert’. Have you heard of this or know anything about it?
Thks again
That’s a great choice of CDs!
I don’t know about the Green Fields of America CD, but I hope it’s good! Give us your review when you get it.
Best,
Chris
P.S. - Do you have Martin’s newest CD? If so, care to give us a quick review?
Allow me to also point out that Liz Caroll’s last three albums are on the Green Linnet label. I think her best one is her newest. Lost In the Loop is really good too, and I actually don’t like her self titled album a whole lot; it’s good, but it has a much drier feel to it.
