Goat Rodeo Sessions

Stephen continued his discussion with Justin and Ketchup tonight. (I hope I used the correct spelling of her name.) If you figure that the person who talks the most, is the winner, then Stephen wins. However, the three of them did not come to a consensus even though Stephen tried. Delicious food, bubbly champagne and even a Japanese masseuse, could not convince Justin and Ketchup to go along with Stephen's plan. Not even a secret handshake could make them change their standards.

For the interview and special treat tonight, goat was on the menu. Wait, wait, that did not sound right. What I mean is that Yo Yo Ma, Chris Chris Thile, Edgar Edgar Meyer and Stuart Stuart Duncan stopped by to chat and to play a song from their new album. The album is called Goat Rodeo Sessions. It has some good reviews over at Amazon and you can also buy it there.

As far as what genre the music falls into, well it's kind of blue grass meets classical, but really it is "genre proof and totally American." So sounds very interesting. I did enjoy the song they played. There is also a bonus song over at Colbert Nation. Well not right now if you are reading this on Tuesday night. Wait a bit, or as the website says, "Bonus musical performance coming soon. Check back later." You can, however, already click on the link at Colbert Nation to buy the album (at iTunes) or visit the website at www.yo-yoma.com.

I will say this, listening to it made me want to build a barn or sew a quilt. That's how good the music is!
