Go On -- I Dare Ya!

 

It's a cute little 1999 release.

I don't know what happened during production, but the above insert advises you to not believe the CD rear.  Don't worry, I corrected the CD rear image in the file.  Ain't I sweet?

You Can See It if You Step Back

This is a 1984 album by Richard Burmer (died 2006), with a lot of enchanting whooshes and dancing glimmers of music. Some of it appeared in Hearts of Space, most memorably (for me) the December 28, 1984 show "Electric Snowflakes" (available for listening here).

Universe - Sampler 90

See you Monday, Space Fans!

  

The Rose Lives

I first encountered this 1985 music on Hearts of Space.  I eventually bought the cassette.

The Fire in the Rose

You may hear the entire program, "Summer Light," here.  You'll be enchanted!

See you Thursday.

  

Get It While It's Spring!

This is an enchanting 1970 album.  This is a rip from vinyl, so you'll hear a pop or two.

Five English Folksongs:

01. The Dark-Eyed Sailor (2:10)

02. The Springtime of the Year (3:00)

03. Just as the Tide Was Flowing (2:09)

04. The Lover's Ghost (4:02)

05. Wassail Song (2:34)

06. Bushes and Briars (2:44)

07. Loch Lomond (3:34)

08. John Dory (2:07)

09. Greensleeves (3:11)

10. Ward, the Pirate (2:30)

11. Ca' the Yowes (4:58)

12. The Unquiet Grave (4:32)

13. The Seeds of Love (2:29)

14. Early in the Spring (1:45)

15. The Turtle Dove (3:14)

16. An Acre of Land (1:17)

I must admit to a bit of musical Philistinism.  Though I've loved (some of) the music of Vaughan Williams for decades, only a few years ago did I learn he wanted his first name pronounced "Rafe" not "Ralph."

Springtime of the Year
