13. Yeah, YouTube and MP3 don't do him justice. The mix on the CDs is excellent.

My favorite is "O'Malley's March Live." Unfortunately, this is getting hard to find; and the price is going up. Cheapest copy (used) on Amazon is $25.85.

As a matter of fact, all of his CDs are getting harder to find. Original production was limited, so most available CDs are used. I think O'Malley has a lot of fans out there.

I like "Wait for Me" too.

The only one I don't have is "O'Malley's March: Galway Races." It is his newest album, but has none of his his own compositions. He said that, while he was governor, he had trouble finding the solitude he needed to write music. Remember, this is the guy who reads Thomas Merton in the morning.

Here's a quote from Thomas Merton's Thoughts in Solitude:

When society is made up of men who know no interior solitude it can no longer be held together by love: and consequently it is held together by a violent and abusive authority. But when men are violently deprived of the solitude and freedom which are their due, the society in which they live becomes putrid, it festers with servility, resentment and hate.

Sounds relevant to me. And you can see why O'Malley likes Merton.
