Anyone like World music? *And beautiful Nordic sax jazz, and other jazz? **And free mp3s.

[Wisty]

I've been visiting www.calabashmusic.com for about 10 years -- well, every few to four years. Have to weed through tons of mp3s, kinda fun though. New accounts get a free mp3. Get discounts for buying certain amounts, too. And I've not had a defective mp3 yet. Nice and clean, compared to some of the sloppy ones sold at amazon.com.

I focused on some of my family roots; i.e., Scandinavian and Celtic. But also got non-rooty Japanese Taiko drumming because I love taiko!

I'm not sure I can link to each song? But if anyone is interested, here is my list of ones I got this time. I'm very pleased with them.

So, if anyone is here to read this, fwiw. And sorry for any typos, as usual.

Previously I collected Capercaillie. Kila. Grey Larsen. Susan McKeown. Christina Connell. Warsaw Village Band. Garmana. Gjallarhorn. And others that I can't remember offhand and or which are no longer offered at calabashmusic.

So, have you purchased from calabashmusic? If so, what? *wonders if there is any hope of reviving this forum* Oh well... it's fun trying.
