Friday Music

I don't want to leave the impression with the reader that I am superstitious or anything.  Nevertheless, there is a long-standing tradition of listening the music by the Cowboy Junkies in the run-up to the gun hunting extravaganza. 

As a consequence there is today's musical selection from the second album of the Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session.   

The original recording was made inside Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity on November 27, 1987, with the band circled around a single microphone.  The band was unable to rehearse with most of the guest musicians before the day of the six hour session.

Considering the method of recording and time constraints, this could have been disastrous for the numbers which required seven or more musicians, but after paying a security guard twenty-five dollars for an extra two hours of recording time, the band was able to finish, recording the final song of the session, Misguided Angel, in a single take.  -Wikipedia

If you are hunting this weekend take all precautions to shoot straight and be safe....
