Been listening to a number of audiobooks as I work in my studio. Today's offering is Dead Wake by Erik Larson, one of my favorite nonfiction authors. It's the story of the last crossing of the Atlantic of the Lusitania.

Love Larson's work and have either listened to or read some of his others such as The Splendid and the Vile, Devil in the White City and Isaac's Storm. The last one is especially fascinating.

Larson's writing is vivid and causes you to see things unfold in your head. Love a writer who does that.
 
Hi LT.

I just never been a fan of all those orchestral violins they called the Nashville Sound. Ray Price and the Cherokee Cowboys was a good Country Western Band all through the '50s and early '60s. They included great violin solos but called it a fiddle and played it like one. "Crazy Arms" was another slow tempo romantic ballad that was a hit for him in 1956 without borrowing the string section of some Phil Harmonica orchestra.

I looked for a version of "For the Good Times" I liked but couldn't find one 'till everybody had got old or dead.
