Way back in April, Rob Paterson was kind enough to make me a gift of an iTunes gift certificate. I’m a slow shopper, so it’s taken me this long to make my way through $35 of purchasing, but today I dropped down to a balance of 21 cents, so I’m all spent out. Here’s what I got:

• Delusions of Klezmer, The Alexandria Kleztet
• Slumber My Darling, Alison Krauss, Edgar Meyer, Mark O’Connor & Yo-Yo Ma
• Dress Rehearsal, Carolyn Dawn Johnson
• Hard Times, Eastmountainsouth
