Last week, at my 6 yr old's urging, I bought the album Eco.

I have never fallen in love with an album so fast. I can't understand the words, but the sound and the mood it creates is just gorgeous.

I was talking to a friend about this artist and was told that he won an award (Oscar?) for one of the songs on the album. The powers that be at the event didn't let him sing his song during the program (they had Antonio Banderos sing it and he butchered it), so when he walked-up to collect his award, he only sang a few bars of his song, said, "Thank you" and left.

I like his attitude.

Anyway, he has amazing, amazing guitar and vocals and I thought I'd share my newly found treasure.

Your 6 year old? How did that come about?

We saw Drexler on Leno. My son kept humming/singing the song, singing the portion "rema" as grandma. Finally, he came to me and said, "Mom, I want to hear that "grandma" song again. Do you think you can find it?"
