A to Z cds: Day 7

28. Arabic Groove ~ Various Artists (last listen: 6 months-1 year)

29. All-Time Greatest Hits ~ Louis Armstrong (last listen: 1-3 years)

30. The Definitive Louis Armstrong ~ Ken Burns Jazz (last listen: 1-3 years ago): This cd has a lot of realy cool instrumental songs by Armstrong, plus the documentary wasn't half bad either.

31. Falling in Love with Louis Armstrong (last listen: never)

32. Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 1-4 ~ Johan Sebastian Bach (last listen: 1-3 years ago): This cd (and an instrumental Bela Fleck disc) seriously got me through my history graduate program. When you are writing papers for Eric Ruckh you do not want songs with words clouding up your brain. And I wrote many, many, many papers for Eric (Honestly, over a two and a half year period, it ended up being close to 100 papers. Trust me, I counted.). But I couldn't write my papers in complete silence either. Thus, the Brandenburg Concertos. Thanks Bach for helping me crack the code that is Marx; although, you helped very little when it came to Weber. That 2.4/3 still stings.

33. Baduizm ~ Erykah Badu (last listen 3-6 months): I go in and out of phases with this cd. I will listen to it a lot and then not at all. But really, Appletree is an awesome song.
