here, on the last full day of vacation, is something a little sad and sweet from the great anouar brahem.  the oud has such a lovely sound!

among other things, this vacation, i’ve moved the concert database from a popular spreadsheet program to db browser for sqlite, which i have to say is a lot quicker and easier for searching than the spreadsheet had become.

anouar brahem, oud

having recently seen girl from the north country at the olympia with my wife, which we both enjoyed, i was glad to actually find this show lying around.  while i’m not the biggest dylan fan, i’d not have guessed that gftnc was all dylan’s music (sometimes even for songs that i knew).  and the music was really good (except hurricane, which didn’t seem to fit the story).  listening to this too, i kept forgetting that these are all dylan covers too, mostly from blonde on blonde which would be from the period that i would have listened to most.
