Saturday night David and I will be attending our first baseball game of the 2004 season. I bought a pair of tickets from a season ticket holder who couldn't make it that day. The seats are behind home plate, a little over to the third base side. Similar to this picture, but about ten rows further back:
Getting these tickets for only the second Red Sox home game of the season was only the beginning of my good luck, however. The matchup expected for Saturday evening is Toronto's reigning Cy Young winner Roy Halladay against future Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez. I am not a Red Sox fan - I moved to Boston long after the impressionable stage of life in which such attachments are formed and cemented - but I am a baseball fan, and Saturday night should be great baseball. Of course, baseball being what it is, we're just as likely to be treated to a 13-11 slugfest.

Some African Music
Various Artists: The Indestructible Beat of Soweto
An excellent collection of Township Jive tunes.Juluka: Johnny Clegg & Juluka collection
My favorite Juluka record, Ubuhle Bemvelo - their magnificent collection of rocked up Zulu folk songs - is out of print and hard to find. This collection will have to do.Angelique Kidjo: Oremi
Funky Afro-pop. "Itche Koutche" is the best tune ever.- West Nkosi: 16 original sax jive hits
West Nkosi's infectious grooves are Township Jive at its finest. Various Artists: Guitar Paradise of East Africa
A sparkling collection of bands from Kenya, Zaire, and Tanzania playing in the Jit and Benga styles.Miriam Makeba: World of Miriam Makeba
The Grand Dame of African music in the United States, Miriam Makeba is perhaps better known here as a politically active folk singer than as an early pioneer of Afro-pop and township jazz.Oumou Sangare: Oumou
Impressive Malian singer and songwriter.Tinariwen: Amassakoul
More music from Mali. This band is of the Sarahan Touareg tribe. They are idolized as guitar gods in Mali and lay down a hypnotizing groove.

I have to be subtle about the "not a Red Sox fan" issue or they will run me out of town.
