That makes sense. I know somebody whose sister-in-law also disappeared and they couldn't bring themselves to declare her dead. (And even though her mother moved away they kept the family home in the family - just in case.)

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
My sweet wife bought me the Sufjan Stevens Illinoise CD and... I don't know. Will continue listening, but right now, I'm not so sure it's for me. I keep going back to his Christmas songs.

That sweet wife I mentioned has also ordered that, but it hasn't arrived yet.
If anyone is interested: my dear friend Guy just uploaded a live session he did for his music blog. This one is with José González.

Sarah sez, "BBC radio is doing a piece about the influence of Yiddish on American culture - they have a great clip describing the ways in which Yiddish songs made their way into jazz...
Yiddish - a language once spoken by more than 10 million Jews - had a profound effect on American culture in the first half of the 20th Century.
It originated in central and eastern Europe - and spread to the United States when thousand of immigrants arrived in New York.
Zalmen Mlotek is the Artistic Director of the city's last surviving professional Yiddish theatre - the Folksbiene.
With the help of his piano, he has been telling Radio 3's Dennis Marks how the language influenced jazz music - and the likes of George and Ira Gershwin.
DW is making the mother of all Christmas mixes. She wants to know if anybody has:
