The World's Room

Amazon.com
These Old Blind Dogs have had to learn some new tricks. With the departure of longtime vocalist and venerable folkie Ian Benzie, in addition to other lineup renegotiations, Dog veterans Jonny Hardie and Buzzby McMillan are all that remain of the old order. In spite of the inherent need to shed the doubts and quibbles of long-time listeners, The World's Room takes these Scottish neotraditionalists in an exciting new direction while retaining the strengths of the band in its former incarnation. Jim Malcom, a fine melodious singer, admirably fills the shoes vacated by Benzie, while Rory Campbell's pipes and whistles flit and float and teen sensation Paul Jennings' percussion keeps the group within a tightly wrought framework. As ever, multi-instrumentalist Hardie's fiddle sings out sweet and McMillan's bass and cittern lend symmetry to the set's marriage of traditionals and originals, notably Campbell's "The Ritual" and "Soup of the Day," the latter a willy-nilly band jam to a funky pipe tune. --Paige La Grone

Cynical types will accuse Disney of milking the "greatest" concept until it's drier than Tinkerbell's fairy dust ("Supercalafragilisticexpealidocious," "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da," and "Heigh Ho" were hits off of Vol. 1; "Bare Necessities," "It's a Small World," and "Some Day My Prince Will Come" stole the show on Vol. 2), but a glimpse of this installment's track listing is all it'll take to squash their suspicions. Once again running reverse-chronologically, Vol. 3 opens with Jonatha Brooke's gorgeously achy ballad "I'll Try," from 2002's arguably not-so-great Return to Neverland, and gradually reaches back through the years to re-raise the curtain on Toy Story 2 ("When She Loved Me," performed by Sarah McLachlan), The Lion King ("Can You Feel the Love Tonight"), Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews's classic "A Spoonful of Sugar"), Pinocchio ("Give a Little Whistle"), and a bundle of treasured others, bottoming out at 1933's "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" from The Three Little Pigs. Vol. 3 is not without its weak moments--would a G-rated movie-goers' poll produce Beauty and the Beast's "Gaston" or The Hunchback of Notre Dame's "Topsy Turvy" on a hits list? Seems unlikely. Still, the bulk of these tracks are, as the included Little Mermaid song goes, "Part of Your World," and the spread of decades they represent proves their staying power. Don't expect Disney to latch the lid on its inexhaustible archives until a dozen or so of these records, each as strong as the next, beckon you back for more. --Tammy La Gorce

Disney's greatest hits, volum 3.......2007-05-13

This is one of the better volums for kids and for those who are
above 18 but still have some kid in them

Timeless Disney Music.......2007-05-07

Nothing brings sweet recollection of Disney movies like hearing the wonderful songs. In an age where there so much music with no redeeming qualities, these Disney CDs are priceless. Wonderful for the entire family to listen to around the house or in the car while traveling. We can't help but sing along. We love that these are the original tracks from the movies! Wonderful! We now have all three volumes.

Disney songs are the best.......2006-03-18

I love the songs on this volume. I'll Try by Jonatha Brooke is such an amzing somg. I especially bought this CD fort that song but, was pleasantly surprsed by the rest of the playlist.

Great Disney Music.......2006-02-21

I have bought the first 2 volumes of Disney's Greatest Hits and the 3rd volume doesn't disapoint. My 2 young children love to listen to this CD and talk about the movies that they come from. A definate must have!

Not as good as Vol 1 and Vol 2.......2005-09-11

This Disney CD represents the "leftovers" that didn't make it on Vol 1 and Vol 2 of this series. Although it has some of my favorites, I don't listen to the entire CD often. Disney could have done a better job of editing the which sound files should make the cut on this one. Still, it's nice to have all 3 CDs.

Album Description

Want My Mommy (Time for Bed)" is the No.1 song XM Kids national satellite radio! In addition, The Movers' debut disc, "Good Ideas," has been named a 2003 Parents' Choice Recommended CD and was named Best Recording for Younger Children by Children's Music Web. Also, "Toothache," a tune about dental hygiene set to an old-school rap beat, garnered a 2003 Great American Song Honor Award and the Caribbean inspired "The Medicine Song" was recently named a finalist in the USA Songwriting Contest. Imagination Movers combine pop, hip-hop, rock and world music with educational themes for kids and their parents. The Movers sing about healthy eating, separation anxiety, sibling rivalry and other topics that relate to being a little kid, but the group's musical style has a decidedly grownup groove. Think Mr.. Rogers meets the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Regardless of how you describe it, Movers music is catchy stuff that parents and children will want to listen to over and over again!

Awesome CD!.......2007-07-17

I bought my 3 1/2 year old son this CD after I bought the DVD. We listen to the CD every morning when I'm dropping him off to see Grandmom and he will sing the songs all day long. This CD is a must for any music lover. Even the parents will love this CD. The songs are definitely for the kids, but the music and the beats will have the parents dancing.

MOVE Over Wiggles!.......2007-07-17

OMG - what a breath of fresh air after listening nonstop to the Wiggles for what has seemed like an eternity! The Imagination Movers' songs actually display musical talent and target issues that are important to little kids. My daughter (and my husband) loves "Time Out" - it is just a hillarious take on the toddler-set punishment. I recently ordered the DVD too in the hopes that my daughter (who is 3 1/2) will really bond to them after seeing them and will forget the Wiggles altogether! They are AWESOME! I can play this music in my car and no one who hears it will even be aware that it is children's music. It is thoroughly enjoyable. I can not wait for the Imagination Movers children's show to come out on Disney next year!

We love it!.......2007-02-19

We love the Imagination Movers! After seeing them on the disney channel, we decided to purchase the cd for our car rides. We all love them, even my husband and I sing the songs! My personal favorite is the song about going to bed.
Great Music!

Great children's music.......2007-01-18

If you are only going to buy one children's music CD, buy this one. My three year old listens to it all the time. It is fun for adults and children alike. It still sounds good even after the 1000th time of hearing it (and you will hear it a 1000 times). The music is very hip, but the lyrics are written from a toddlers point of view. I especially like "The wah wah song", "one more book" and "Shakeable Fruit". Its obviously written by guys with a sense of humor and young children. Pity I can't give it more than five stars - highly recommended.

Great CD!.......2007-01-10

Imagination Movers are great performers and singers. My kids, 2 1/2 and 20 mos, just love their music. Highly recommend it.

Album Description

Imagination Movers combine pop, hip-hop, rock and world music with educational themes for kids and their parents. The Movers sing about healthy eating, separation anxiety, sibling rivalry and other topics that relate to being a little kid, but the group's musical style has a decidedly grownup groove. Think Mr.. Rogers meets the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Regardless of how you describe it, Movers music is catchy stuff that parents and children will want to listen to over and over again!

The Movers' new disc, "Calling All Movers," features the band's trademark blend of kid-friendly themes and sophisticated rock and hip-hop music. "Please and Thank You" is a Caribbean-touched homage to every parent's three favorite words. The call-and-response jam "What's in the Fridge" is evidence of the Movers' continued obsession with snack food. And "First Day of School" is a sentimental look at a milestone from a child's point of view. These and 12 other new Movers tunes will be favorites in family CD players for years to come.

The Movers Rock!.......2007-03-13

My 2-year-old loves these guys! Ever since the first time she saw them on Playhouse Disney, they have been her favorite. And now they're mine! All of their songs are loaded with good messages and I love all the musical influences. Each song is different and great in its own way. I just cannot say enough good things about the Movers, and especially this album. Check out "Looking Out the Window" (one of my favorites) and "First Day of School" (my daughter's favorite, along with "I Want My Mommy" from "Good Ideas"). We also bought the Movers' "Good Ideas" album and love that as well (although personally, I prefer this one!). :-)

Fun for Parents, too!.......2007-02-18

This music is GREAT. We are from New Orleans, but unfortunately never attended an Imagination Movers performance! I am kicking myself now. My sons, ages 4 and 2, request this music every time we get in the car. And I enjoy listening and singing along, too. It's like good adult music with kid lyrics. Can't beat it! Thanks you guys.

Think outside the box!.......2005-11-16

This guys are great! Kids love them! Parents can tune out the lyrics and the music will take you back to your college days! I've dropped my kids off at school and continued to listen without them in the car! Baton Rouge, LA

We've had Good Ideas for a while and just bought Calling All Movers. Wonderful! Simply wonderful! My kids love the Fridge song and the Recipe song and I like Please and Thank you. Do youself a favor and buy this for your kids because this is real kids music - you'll get hooked too:)

Novelist Cormac McCarthy's literary vision of the wild west is given wide-screen treatment by maverick director Billy Bob Thornton and a cast that includes Matt Damon, Penelope Cruz, and Bruce Dern. Professional country music journeyman Marty Stuart has performed with father-in-law Johnny Cash, Earl Scruggs, and Doc Watson, in addition to a successful solo career. In his soundtrack scoring debut, he provides short, meditative instrumental pieces that are subtly explosive--rife as they are with strains of old-school country and bluegrass. Cinematic strings and orchestral percussion add a welcome menacing edge, augmenting the rustic approach without crossing over into a compromised "countrypolitan" sound. If anything, it might be nice to hear these themes extended. As it stands, the 23 listed tracks are covered in a little under 50 minutes, with many of the cuts barely lasting more than a minute or two. They stand as a new genre of cinematic country minimalism. --Rob O'Connor

Great western soundtrack.......2004-02-28

This is a must buy for fans of western soundtracks.It mixes beautifully symphonic music with Guitar music and spices it up all together with a south of the border flavor. Haunting music that will make you want to never take it out of your cd changer. It also
Features two vocal pieces, the first a spanish song sung by the very talented Raul Malo of the country group the mavericks, the second song is a beautiful ballad sung by Marty Stuart. Though I never owned any cd's of Marty Stuart he earns my respect with composing this film score.(cowboy hats off to you Mr.Stuart)

Truly Incredible.......2003-03-12

This album is a masterpiece. Within the first strums of the guitar, you feel as though you are among the southwestern hills. It has immediately become one of my favorites of all-time. The songs are filled with beautiful imagery, enchanting tunes, and haunting melodies. The shortness of the songs in unnoticable, as each song blends into the next, and the album itself serves as one epic journey. It is not meant to be listened to a song at a time, but as a whole. As I said, it is truly incredible. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone.

A delightfully buoyant, mock-creepy collection of film scores from Hollywood's first and best call for quirk, strangeness, and charm. Focusing on Elfman's post-1992 work (much of it for director Tim Burton), this 2 CD set features excerpts from Edward Scissorhands, To Die For, and Batman Returns, among other lesser items. -- Jeff Bateman

Priceless, at any price.......2007-07-06

Years ago, watching peter Jennings cover the funeral procession of Princess Diana, my soul was captured by some hauntingly beautiful music that at times played in the background. So began my mission to find out what it was, who wrote it and how I could get it. After some correspondence with the network I was put in touch with the woman who "put together" that part of the programming. All she could remember is that it came from the movie "Black Beauty". THEN I found out how many versions of that had been made lol. With determination, I finally found it, and had a local music store order it for me.
There are no words to describe what this music does to me. I did try listening to some of the other tracks, but they didn't even come close. I rate this music right up there with the 1971 score for "Jane Eyre" by John Willams... and that's pretty high :D

Good overview.......2007-04-18

Very nice overview of Elfman work. Insufficient by itself but worth having along with the full soundtracks. Bonus disc is a nice extra.

Great Music!!!!!!!!!.......2005-09-08

I Love Danny Elfman's music so much that I have started my own collection of the soundtracks that he composed. For a while, I was trying to find the "Beetlejuice" theme song from the TV show, but thanks to this release, I finally have it!!! Keep up the good work Elfman!

Very nice for a Danny Elfman collection.......2005-08-02

Music For A Darkened Theater, Vol.2 is a great cd!!! I love all of the tracks on both cd's,but my fav. ones are the t.v. scores and the This Is Halloween demo!!! If you love this,then i recomend looking at all the actually albums on this cd and his other works!!!! good job,Danny Elfman.

Bring on Volume 3.......2005-05-04

The liner notes and "This is Halloween Demo" on this compilation are well worth the CD price by themselves. Danny comments on each of the tracks on the CDs which is a rare and ego-free look at what a composer thinks of his own work.

Edward Scissorhands is magical, Black Beauty is a rollercoaster of emotion, and Dolores Claiborne makes me want to find the nearest piano. This is not a "Most Popular" compilation, rather it aptly showcases Danny Elfman's (and Orchestrator, Steve Bartek's) brilliance and wide range of style.

Every suite has an Elfman signature, such as the layered complexity which never sounds overdone, or the use of a choir as an instrument.

This (and Volume 1) are examples of the work of a modern day composer who consistently stands out as one of the best.

If you like this and have the spare cash, grab the individual scores from some of the movies he has worked on, including "Men In Black", "Spiderman", "Batman", "Batman Returns", "Nightmare Before Christmas", "Edward Scissorhands", "Mars Attacks" and so many more.

Very few of us lesser mortals can compete with the genius of Noel Coward, however we certainly can enjoy it! A master of lyric, pun, innendo, and rhyme, Noel will keep all laughing throughout this collection.

Caberet at its Best.......2006-07-11

This is a live recording of a Noel Coward performance in the 1950's at the Desert Inn. The songs are quite a bit racier than his usual studio recordings from the 1920's and 30's; all very witty and very fun. A stand out performance of Cole Porter's "Let's Do It" features references to everyone from Somerset Maugham to Senator Joe McCarthy. Unique.

witty, classic genius.......2005-12-13

My old LP was lost in a recent move! I have loved this album along with "Noel and Gertie" since I first heard it at the age of twelve. Sir Noel Coward is not to be missed.

There are some folks down in Athens, Georgia, who think their Star Room Boys are a kind of cure-all for slapdash Americana, an honest, hard-country substitute for the irony-riddled music of other fringe alt-country bands who advertise their sources like steamer trunks covered with travel stickers. The Star Room Boys have two of the finest instrumentalists on the scene in pedal-steel man Johnny Neff and guitarist Philip McArdle, while lead vocalist Dave Marr, who founded the group in 1995 and who writes most of the material, knows how to deliver unpretentious country novellas. Still, on this sophomore disc they do not avoid all of the pitfalls of the aforementioned alt crowd: every now and then they stick their chins way out with a lyrical bent that is painfully overwrought and overwritten, and Marr's voice can devolve into an irksome sameness. Yet when it comes to music that makes you at home at the end of the bar at the end of the night, you could do far worse than the Star Room Boys. --Henry Cabot Beck

Customer Reviews:

Their second best is better than most.......2004-07-06

I lived in Athens, GA, during the Boys' heyday and saw many, many of their concerts. I was too cool for country until I met them but they made me believers. They were awesome live, tons of fun, and drew fans from all political and musical persuasions, including me, a die-hard Indie fan. While Dave Marr is an amazing vocalist, there is simply no better pedal steel guitar player alive than Johnny Neff, and the way Johnny and Philip (guitarist) played off each other made the whole show f'en transcendent...So many fond memories of the Boys...I also partied many many times with those Wild Ones. (Hey, Boys: Remember New Year's Eve, 1999, at the 40 Watt, you guys playing along with Jucifer?) While this CD isn't as cohesive as their first, it DOES contain their best song: "If I Can Ever Get It Back Again." Too bad the Boys had to break up, but blame it on the fact that two of them got married about the same time and apparently their respective wives demanded they leave the group, since the waves of girls coming on to the Boys just proved too overwhelming for wives to deal with. The big shame in all this is if Johnny Neff quits or even tones down his pedal steel. He really has the talent to go national in some way. Plus, he's hot hot hot. :-)

Great underrated band.......2003-09-10

I had never heard of these guys when i got this cd. I got cuz of some of the descriptions of thier sound. Now, Im very glad I bought it. To me these guys sound like Waylon,mixed with some Son Volt. The other reviews Ive read say the debut cd is even better, so its a must for me to get that as well. This Cd is strong from start to finish. I dont really listen to country radio, but why these guys are not played is a mystery to me. Another thing, Ive heard these guys have broke up, so this might be all that is left of the star room boys, but groups that have been around much longer dont hve as many strong songs as these guys. Get this CD

Good, but not their best.......2003-06-15

The day the Star Room Boys called it quits was the worst day for music in the last few years. Bless these boys.

This isn't as great as their debut, though. While "Cocaine Parties" and a few other tracks are as heart-breaking as country can get, it doesn't have the relentless excellence as "Lonely Men and Women."

I remember attending the release show for this ... what a great live act the SRBs were. If you like good, old-timey, heartfelt country, get this ... but not before you own their brilliant debut.

THIS is how country SHOULD sound............2003-05-31

I don't know how many of you that are reading this own The Star Room Boys' first album....but if you don't.....BUY IT! Then, buy this one too. Dave Marr is probably one of, if not THE best songwriters in country music today. I don't really listen to what passes for country radio, and I was lucky (blessed even?) to find out about The Star Room Boys back in the glory days of Napster. I ended up downloading every song off of "Why Do Lonely Men and Women...", and subsequently BOUGHT the cd....hey, what do you know? ... Anyhoo, I HIGHLY recommend both Star Room Boys cds. You will NOT be disappointed.

Adieu Star Room Boys.......2003-01-03

An excellent follow-up to their first disc, only this time Marr sings as though he's not feeling the heartache of the first album. A couple of more uptempo songs (see "Daydreamer" - complete w/ sing-along vocal harmony) distinguish this album from "Why Do Loneley Men & Women..." and make it a little more boot-shufflin' and less and less "crying in your PBR." Still, they're the same old Star Room Boys and half the songs on there will have you hangin your head and remembering love lost at night's end. I personally think their rookie effort was more powerful and would reccommend this disc as a supplement to it rather than it being the only purchase of a first-time SRB listener. These guys are great to see live, unfortunateley they've recently disbanded. Cheers to Dave, John and the rest of the fellas. I've enjoyed the music the past few years and will cherish these 2 albums for years to come.

Another great trip down the MFU memory lane.......2005-10-19

Volume 2 (comprised of 2 CDs) is another first rate compilation of the series' original music and not to be missed by U.N.C.L.E. fans. The liner notes are wonderful and add a lot to ones appreciation of the music.

My only problem is that THE CDs ARE COPY PROTECTED! Considerable work is needed to get the music onto your iPod, if you really want the music in your mp3 collection. This is a major hassle and a surprise, since the first set in the series was not copy protected.

The best of the three Double CDs ORIGINAL soundtrack release.......2005-07-12

Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.

Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.

And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.

Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.

This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.

Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.

So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.

Listening to a Legend.......2007-07-13

Bring home a piece of history... Bill Tapia, ukulele legend, will celebrate his 100th birthday this November (2007). You'd think a century would slow someone down, especially inhibit their ability to play an instrument with agility. Well, don't be fooled by Tapia. He plays like a 20-year-old, and his songs are full of life. If you're interested in Hawaiian/ukulele music, or saw the PBS documentary on Tapia's life, this is a definite must for your collection. If you haven't seen the documentary or don't know much about ukelele music, this is a great foundation CD for your music library. Tapia was one of the first ukulele artists to take the instrument to the next level. If you like Jake Shimabukuro, you HAVE to check out Tapia. He started it all!

As a side note, if you get a chance, check him out in concert. I just saw him recently and his stories are so entertaining. They say he's got a million stories to tell since he's met and seen pretty much everyone and everything, and he shares some of them between songs. He'll have you laughing and smiling and tapping your feet!

Duke of Uke - Bill Tapia.......2005-08-20

I enjoyed this because of my many trips to HA and seeing Bill Tapia on PBS TV (KCET in L.A.). For those who have not traveled to HA or saw this TV program, this may have not interest to them.

Don "Not Retired Anymore" Dixon.......2006-12-06

I too live in suburban Washington, and have seen Dixon nearly every time he's played here (9:30 Club, Birchmere, Lisner Auditorium, even the Rams Head in Annapolis). It was Weasel who introduced the show referenced above. Also, the FM station referred to above had just moved to 99.1 from 102.3 when Dixon's record on Enigma was released (Most of the Girls LTD). Enough with the pointless flashbacks. Didn't anyone read the liner notes on this CD? Dixon states that he had basically given up on song writing, lyrics in particular. He got sucked into it by his 'middle daughter', who needed something for a dance school performance. He sent her in with some acoustic stuff without lyrics, only to find out that the instructor wanted things like "Southside Girl", much to his dismay. So he went back and wrote most of which became this album. Yes, there is a concept here (rooms), but the material is all quite good. And the inclusion of Mitch Easter's "Room With A View", sung by Marti, was an unexpected surprise. Easter and Dixon have worked together for years, and in fact, Easter appears on this record. Dixon has always, at least to me, appeared like North Carolina's version of Nick Lowe, even down to being a bass player. His lyrics are crisp, sometimes gloomy, but always carrying a hint of sardonic irony. This album seems a bit melancholy, but is still enjoyable. It's good to see Dixon back on the scene. If you're a Dixon fan, you'll enjoy it. Or should, anyway.

The Entire Combustible Dixon.......2006-07-09

For the last several decades there have been an ever increasing amount of things to love about Don Dixon. As life has pushed, pulled, ebbed and flowed Mr. Dixon's life, it has always created in its wake insightful, interesting and enjoyable music. The Entire Combustible World In One Small Room is no exception.
From the first track `In Darkness Found' there is a tone of cool, wit, and style that is uniquely Don Dixon. He has the ability to line up the moon and stars in a way that makes you want to put on the headphones and just drink it all in.
The fact of the matter is that Don Dixon knows how to make cool records. Cool in the sense that if you take the 43 minutes and 20 seconds to listen to the whole record you feel like you taken an interesting little trip or spent some time with an old friend.
There's no stinkers and on the 2nd listen, standouts are In Darkness Found, Secret Room, In A Politician's Bed and Ten Part Peal.
If you are someone who is persuaded by reviews, pull the trigger on this one.

Welcome back Don Dixon.......2006-06-20

As a long time fan of both Don Dixon and his beautiful bride, Marti Jones, I welcomed the sight of this new release from Don Dixon. I discovered Don Dixon and Marti Jones during the mid 80s by hearing their songs on a local radio station (WHFS 99.1 FM in Maryland). The DJs on WHFS, Weasel (aka Jonathan Gilbert) and Damien Einstein would play cuts from Marti Jones' "Unsophisticated Time" A&M records LP and Don Dixon's "All of the Girls..." indie release(s). Does anyone remember "Praying Mantis" or "Follow You All Over the World"? I still own those two cherished vinyl records!

I had the pleasure of seeing Don and Marti at the old 9:30 club in downtown DC in the summer of 1986. What a show! Don and Marti played all their great songs from the aforementioned LPs. Quite a show and I believe either the WHFS DJ Weasel or DJ Damien did the introductions to the show....can't remember which one...oh well, had a great time at the show.

So, enough of the history of Marti and Don's airplay and concerts in the Washington DC area...what about this new CD? I like it very much. The CD has a theme all about various rooms (a church, a dorm, an ICU, etc.) and works very well from a conceptual standpoint. Don's lyrics/singing and the arrangements/production conjure up a different feeling for each song (room).

Don's soulful singing voice has aged well and he appears to enjoy singing these songs! Marti Jones also sounds great on the final cut (a cover) singing Let's Active's "Room With a View."

Welcome back Don Dixon! Hope to see Don in the Washington DC area if he tours to support the new CD.
