Comments on: My top twenty posts in 2007 http://www.anchormast.com/2007/12/31/my-top-twenty-posts-in-2007/ Your house shall not be an anchor but a mast - Khalil Gibran Tue, 17 Jan 2012 23:42:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Barbara http://www.anchormast.com/2007/12/31/my-top-twenty-posts-in-2007/comment-page-1/#comment-1265 Barbara Wed, 02 Jan 2008 03:34:53 +0000 http://www.anchormast.com/2007/12/31/my-top-twenty-posts-in-2007/#comment-1265 Ah, yes, they are wonderful musicians. I listened to and enjoyed the video with the timeless Willie Nelson and Elvis Costello. There's such a quality in Willie's voice... Her version of Mitchell's A Case of You is quite special. Compare it to Mitchell's own version (and k.d. lang's, if you can find it). k.d.lang is my all-time favorite. I play her Hymns of the 49th Parallel dvd over and over. Check out her Juno award rendition of Cohen's Hallelujah. Barefoot and dressed in a cassock-like style, lang outdid herself. I could listen to it forever. If it doesn't reduce you to tears, you'll at least get goosebumps. Ah, yes, they are wonderful musicians. I listened to and enjoyed the video with the timeless Willie Nelson and Elvis Costello.

Yes, some of my favourite musicians are Canadian. Lang, Cohen, Young, Mitchell. After I found that video yesterday, I spent quite some time wallowing in some of DK's other videos. There's a fabulous one of her, hubby Elvis Costello and the legendary Willie Nelson together singing Nelson's "Crazy". Magic! Have a very happy New Year. x Thanks Barbara.

Looks like a good New Year is on its way. I wish the best for you in the coming year, Tess. I enjoy dropping in and I look forward to spending some time tomorrow reading your 20 most popular posts. And Diana Krall is indeed sublime! [borrowed pride that she, Feist and Arcade Fire (for the most part) are Canadian! ;)] After wallowing in a slump for a while, I feel deliciously envigorated today.

And I look forward to reading your blogs in 2008. I hope Edible Balcony Garden will continue once the weather gets warmer. I was browsing photographs today and saw a whole host of beautiful geraniums, which made me think of you. Thanks Elaine, I hope you don’t go cross-eyed reading them!!
