What are you listening to right now?

Ok.  Listening to the album Grand Illusion and have found out that I can no longer listen to Come Sail Away without hearing the voice of Eric Cartman.  Damn you Matt and Trey. 

Symphony X- "The Odyssey"

Now you're talkin'!!! Metheny is one my favorites and have seen him a couple of times in concert. It's quite the experience. Hometown boy, too. Grew up in the Kansas City suburb of Lee's Summit, MO. His brother, Mike, taught at one of the high schools for a long time.

If you go back to his old stuff, a lot of his songs are about life around Kansas City. "River Quay" (from Watercolors), for example, is a part of town just north of downtown KC that used to be mob owned back when I was growing up (You NEVER crossed over the bridge into the River Quay). Now it's filled with small eateries, coffee shops and chic loft apartments and THE place to live. 25 years ago, however, it wasn't uncommon to find bodies stuffed in trunks of cars. I was speaking with a coffee shop owner a few years back and she swears she can fill a 'presence' late at night when she's closing up.

"Lone Jack" (from Pat Metheny Group) is a small town just east of Lee's Summit. Actually, it's known as a notorious speed trap along 50 Hwy and I got stopped for speeding while driving back from college back in my younger days. &*@#! COPS!!

"Unity Village" (from Bright Size Life) is actually shown on the first page of his Secret Story CD (the tall stone tower). Lee's Summit is the world headquarters of the Unitarian Church.

Just thought I'd share. I need to break out this disc again, though. I was in an especially mellow mood earlier in the week and played Metheny and Charlie Haden's Beyond The Missouri Sky. Beautiful disc.
