    Listening to Muse's latest album, "The 2nd Law" a lot lately. Lots of Queen overtones to it.

    Well, I must admit that I'm not the biggest fan of Allison Krauss but I just got done listening to one song by here that I was turned onto by a good friend of mine, Jerry12 who is a member here but he hardly ever posts. This particular song should tug hard at the hearts of any man alive, especially if they have had kids. The song is called ♪ Jacobs' Dream ♪ and man, does it ever move you. Here are the lyrics, if you are interested in reading them;
    In the spring of 1856 with the snow still on the ground Two little boys were lost in the mountains above the town
    The father went out hunting, the boys had stayed behind While mother tended to her chores they wandered from her side
    The two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead By dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread
    Two hundred men had gathered there to comb the mountain side The fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they'd see the light

    Ohh, mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries? The day is almost over, soon it will be night
    We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore We promise not to stray again from our cabin door
    Now, Jacob Diverd woke one night from a strange and eerie dream
    He saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream He told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log
    For two more nights the dream returned this vision sent from God

    Ohh, mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries? The day is almost over, soon it will be night
    We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore We promise not to stray again from our cabin door
    A thousand men had searched in vain the west side of pop's creek But Jacob's wife knew of this place and said to travel east
    With a guide to take him there, Jacob came upon the scene And found the boys cold and still beneath the old birch tree

    Ohh, mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry? We're both up in heaven now, God is by our side
    As you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord Know that we will meet you here at heaven's door
    Ohh, mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry We're both up in heaven now, God is by our side
    And as you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door

    You can find it off of her "A hundred Miles or More" album seen above, the rest of which I'm checking out right now. If you haven't heard the young lady many folks adore, you might want to check this particular one out. Like I said, I'm not the biggest fan of Krauss but I have to admit, she's growing on me and it's songs just like this one that are beautifully written and performed that do it. Oh, thanks Jerry [if you do ever read this] for pointing this single out to me.

    Good evening, Rick. I have that Mississippi Magic album on my list. How is the audio quality of that one? IIRC, it got placed on my list of things to get because of the music but if it just sounds "OK" and not superb, I'll start off with the RB CD. I haven't heard Terry Evans before. Hopefully the tunes will delight.

    Congrat's on the new speakers.

    Thanks, Rick. I'll go ahead and get the SACD instead of the RB.
