    "To celebrate Earth Day, we collaborated with composer Diego Stocco to create an all-natural musical experience. All the sounds you hear in this piece were created real-time using instruments provided by Mother Nature herself. The same ingredients that are instrumental in making the Burt's Bees products you love to love."

    "A tune from south of the border, I first heard it played magnificently by Los Indios Tabajaras. Here is a duet version on guitar and steel guitar. All tracks by me. Keyboards/bass/percussion/ three guitar tracks and one steel guitar track. Key of A going to G."

    "This treasure brought to our attention by friend and rhythm guitar virtuoso,John Parrot: brothers-in-law, mandolin swing innovator Jethro Burns and master finger-style picker Chet Atkins featured in a delightful medley of "Gallopin' guitar' and "Bye Bye Blackbird." Notice in the first song, the spry premier jazz mandolinist Don Stiernberg in a supportive role and John himself in the very back corner barking out the backbeat. Also, the cat playing the 6-string Fender bass is Neil Seroka (also a great jazz guitarist and personal friend of Don's.)" http://jazzmando.com

    "It kicks off with a little Blue Note tribute, with tracks from Lee Morgan, Sonny Clark, Joe Henderson and Andrew Hill before I dig out a rare groove from Rodney Jones.

    Things are brought up to date with a new single from the Colman Brothers before I bring you a fantastic version of "Stolen Moments" from Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis.

    Finally, Build An Ark bring proceedings to an end with a short track from their new album (more of which I'm sure to bring you later).
    Featuring tracks by Andrew Hill, Love, Joe Henderson, Rodney Jones, Lee Morgan and more."

    See them tumbling down,
    Pledging their love to the ground!
    Lonely, but free, I'll be found,
    Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds . . .

    Cares of the past are behind,
    Nowhere to go, but I'll find,
    Just where the trail will wind,
    Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds . . .

    I know when night is gone,
    That a new world's born at dawn!
    I'll keep rolling along,
    Deep in my heart as a song,
    Here on the range I belong,
    Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds . . .

    ( Tumbleweeds, tumbleweeds!
    See them tumbling down,
    Pledging their love to the ground! )
    Lonely, but free, I'll be found,
    Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds . . .

    I know ( I Know! ) when night is gone ( hmmm . . . )
    That a new world's born at dawn!
    I'll keep rolling along,
    Deep in my heart as a song,
    Here on the range I belong,
    ( Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds . . . )
    Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds . . .
    ( Tumbleweeds, tumbleweeds . . . )
    Tumble . . . weeds . . .

    "Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked by a reader of TIME magazine, "What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?" This is his answer."

     

    via soundcloud.com

    "Composed in 1927 by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics added in 1929 by Mitchell Parish, one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, with over 1,500 total recordings. In 2004, Carmichael's original 1927 recording of the song was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry."

    "And now the purple dusk of twilight time 
    Steals across the meadows of my heart
    High up in the sky the little stars climb
    Always reminding me that we're apart

    (You wander down the lane and far away)
    (Leaving me a song that will not die)
    (Love is now the stardust of yesterday)
    (The music of the years gone by)

    Sometimes I wonder why I spend
    The lonely night dreaming of a song
    The melody haunts my reverie
    And I am once again with you
    When our love was new
    And each kiss an inspiration
    But that was long ago
    Now my consolation
    Is in the stardust of a song

    Beside a garden wall
    When stars are bright
    You are in my arms
    The nightingale tells his fairy tale
    of paradise where roses grew
    Though I dream in vain
    In my heart it will remain
    My stardust melody
    The memory of love's refrain"
