Being new to Last.fm, I am finding it a real joy to discover new music to enjoy as well as re-discover music I once listened to.
As a busy mom of 7, I often don't make the time to just sit and listen to music anymore. It's something I used to do when I was younger without as many distractions as I have in my daily life. I used to really listen to music a lot. After all, I considered myself a musician, with an eye to having music as my career! But that was my life B.C. (Before Children)...
Anyway, it was fun re-discovering Michael Hedges again. One of my favorite songs of his is
Bensusan, from his Aerial Boundaries album. I remember reading somewhere (the album liner notes?) that he wrote that song for Pierre Bensusan. I only had the slight idea that this guy was a guitar hero of some kind.
The cool part about Last.fm (and the internet in general), is the ease of looking up and listening to a particular artist. So, I looked up Pierre Bensusan so I could listen to some of his music. I wasn't at all surprised when I came across the trackSo Long Michael. Michael Hedges died an untimely death in 1997 when he was killed in a car crash, so Pierre Bensusan wrote this tribute to him. Interesting musical connection...
