Pre-Friday Random Ten

Begging round the sun beaten streets
I can’t make me no connections
Locals here no speak no English
Where is my woman, well no one knows
Ah well, some girls just have to leave in the night
While you’re fast asleep
But I don’t worry, I move in the dark
There were lights, there were border lights
I thought I heard that drum in the distance playing
I saw the light, I crossed my heart and beat angels were there – Rickie Lee Jones

The Nightfly – Donald Fagen

Song of Sophia – Dead Can Dance

The Modern World – The Jam

Beat Angels – Rickie Lee Jones

What’s the World Got In Store – Wilco

…and before we serve a little Jam I’d like to thank Nancy in Dale City for the copy of Thomas Mallon’s Fellow Travelers and Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida.

Grazie.
