Hey Lucy, Just like you I was lucky to go skiing this winter (hadn't done it in 25 years) and brought a walkman on the slopes. I'd be interested in hearing other JMDLers' selection of Outdoors Music. Here is mine: 1) Music for Skiing * Beatles (white album acoustic demos) * Lennon x2 * Los Lobos x2 * Little Feat * U2 live * Ryan Adams * Peter Green (his latest Time Traders is quite psychedelic at times, Peter is amazingly back in shape) * Jefferson Starship (love that 2001 live with Paul Kantner, Marty Balin and newcomers Diana Mangana on vocals and Slick Aguilar on guitar) * Rhino Atlantic Remasters (50 classics from Ray Charles to Sam & Dave, etc) Wish I had taken along: Rolling Stones, Hendrix. PS: It's OK to sing while skiing, you don't stay in one place long enough to bother anyone. 2) Summer's Outdoors Music: here are the highlights of last summer's selection. * Zero/Steve Kimock * Grateful Dead (much more interesting outdoors than indoors IMO, like it was meant for it) * Big Bill Broonzy * America live * Pat Metheny with Jaco Pastorius * Joni of course (Second Fret Sets) Laurent
