I go on<\/a> and on<\/a> about how my musical purchases tend to fall neatly into two camps: Heavy metal and jazz songbirds (or maybe three if you include “Pop Music Recommended By Mr. Hill<\/a>). But the truth is much more complicated.<\/p>\n

Okay, it’s not. I will also buy CDs of local artists when I find them in silent auctions, and sometimes I do not include them in my balance tallies simply because I use my Amazon order history to build those lists. Which is why I don’t mention the Liz Moriondo self-titled CD I bought at a trivia night silent auction last winter, although I did mention her parody “All About That Bass” (which is not on the album) here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well, friends, I confess: I did it again.<\/p>\n

On Friday night, I went to the Republic Pregnancy Resource Center for its annual Bluegrass and BBQ fund raiser which features bluegrass music from local bands and a silent auction. I behaved myself this year and did not bid the face price on every gift card and buy a bunch of Branson shows and attraction gift cards since the summer is winding down, and we won’t be traveling an hour to the south much this year. But I did bid on two CD auctions.<\/p>\n

The first was for a single CD from Lily Belle called The Sunshine Projects<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The has a video for the catchy song “Good Morning”, which would I guess be the first single from the album if anyone still thinks in those terms:<\/p>\n
