The other day I looked at the iTunes store and saw that there was a new release by the band Carbon Leaf. I remembered the name from your blog, so I listened to a few samples of their new album. While I liked what I heard I wasn't entirely sure if I wanted to purchase the album (it was 10 dollars) from iTunes because you don't get linear notes, so I drove to Best Buy. Unfortunately it cost about fourteen dollars at Best Buy. I left the store empty handed.
That evening I ran across a website that lets you download all sorts of live recordings. One of the hundreds of artists (no, they didn't have Jackdaw) was Carbon Leaf. I did a little research and figured out all the programs I would need to change these songs from a weird format used to record live shows (a lossless format -- unlike mp3s) to wav files. After some work I was able to have my own Carbon Leaf show that was recorded on July 17, 2004 in Washington D.C.
Anyhow, sorry for the long winded story. I knew you liked Carbon Leaf. I knew that you also like live music. While it isn't flawless deductive logic, I figured there might be a chance you would like Carbon Leaf live. I know that it's not as fun on cd, but I think that live shows are still fun. I hope you enjoy my Erin friend.
