I know these people! We even had a live performance right in our living room. Am I biased? Of course, everyone is. But this really is good music. I’ve been playing Sense of Wonder’s Open the Gate every day since I got it last week. It’s not at all typical of the music I usually listen to, but even I know it’s awesome. I bet even my Joni-Mitchell-loving brother will like some of these tunes.

Glenn Yarbrough -- Time To Move On
Uh… no one has ever mistaken me for a big folk music fan, but I try to have an open mind. Mary has a fondness for Mr. Yarbrough’s earlier group The Limeliters because her dad had those records when she was growing up. I’ve bought some of those CDs for her over the years and to tell the truth I really like some of it. On this solo record though, everything is a little too slick. Too much orchestration, too much back-up singing. And although some of the lyrics are really good, when I hear him sing “The Honey Wind Blows” I feel the spirit of John “Bluto” Blutarsky rising. Remember that scene in “Animal House” when he smashes that folk singer’s guitar at the toga party?
