Sight and Sound Time for some bluegrass with Alison Krauss and Union Station.

TSC and Sight and Sound "Make a photograph that portrays creativity." An old photo of an apple blossom that I put through a kaleidoscope effect. James Taylor (Sweet Baby James 1970): Blossom or Blossom

Sight and Sound Many of us are Linda Ronstadt fans so here is another one from her that might be her first Spanish song we have featured in this group. This song is about a young woman in love and it is set in a church yard where she is rejected by her love. I am imagining there was a little pool there and under the sad moonlight the lilies shone blood red for the young woman's broken heart (I'm getting dramatic here.) I think my photo is sort of sad looking and this is a sad song so there is my tenuous link (and I'm stickin' to it ;) From her second Spanish album "Más canciones" (1991) here is: Live: El Crucifijo De Piedra or El Crucifijo De Piedra (The Crucifix Of Stone) Or from the album: El Crucifijo De Piedra Linda Ronstadt on finally being able to finally make a Spanish album: Latin Music USA Lyrics in English: here
