    Thank you. It's been like teaching myself Latin. It took 3 months to do what I'd hoped to do day 1. I'd say I'm a toddler @ the moment and can pretty much get from a-b (unless there's an issue which there often is). There's a huge learning curve as I've never engineered anything. Always had the luxury of a knob twister to make it happen.

    I never looked into the music of Joan Osborne, because my introduction to her music was the ubiquitous "One of Us" in the mid 90's. I just assumed she was another one in the Sarah Mclachlan, Jewel, Indigo Girls like of Indie pop/rock, and never looked into her music.

    Then I saw her performance with the Funk Brothers, in their tour to support the documentary; and was blown away. I read about her and realized she was exactly the kind of singer I liked!!! Soul, Blues and R&B!!! I did not know this at all.

    So now I am binging on her YouTube Music Channel. I am replaying the song Right Hand Man a LOT!

    Hi- For anybody that is a fan of NO jazzfest. WWOZ is doing past jazzfest performances this weekend and next from 11:00am-7:00pm. The dates range from 1970-2019. I am listening to Allen Toussaint currently.

    For those people who are not familiar with WWOZ, they are a nonprofit radio station, that primarily plays jazz and blues. Most of their radio personalities are volunteer.

    Usually I'm more towards jazz & classical, but I've had repeated listens of 'The Battle at Garden's Gate' by Greta Van Fleet--it's their second album. A quartet of 22-25 year olds from rural Michigan, their classic rock approach is derivative of Led Zeppelin & Rush, but fresh-sounding.

    Critics are absolutely lambasting them, which makes me like them even more...

    Nearly 20 yrs ago I was on the road (actually water) playing drums w/Sam Moore from Sam and Dave I'm a Soul Man fame, on a cruise ship to the Bahamas from Miami. Yesterday my partner/keyboard player sent me a tape of it that he'd recorded from the stage by his foot pedals w/o anyone knowing, including me. Can't stop smiling as I listen to it w/all Sam's great Stax hits that we played. But his banter is the best while we vamped on an intro to Soothe Me. "Are you ready Alan?" "Yes Sam" "Are you sure you're ready Alan?" Yeah boss, I'm ready." "Then lets go! 1, 2, 3..."

    Terri Hemmert of WXRT created an Audacy station called Let the Good Times Roll. In honor of her birthday today, I've got one earbud in listening to it and having a hard time not getting up to dance. There are too many people in the office today otherwise I wouldn't hold back!

    Enrico Morrico, perhaps the most prominent composer of” spaghetti western” soundtracks, was a close friend of Maestro Riccardo Muti.

    Having assigned myself Hamlet as a self-paced home schooling immersion project the last few months, this weekend I've been watching what I think* is one of the two best movie versions ever**, the 1990 movie***, starring Mel Gibson and Glenn Close, among other big names; directed by Franco Zeffirelli; score by Ennio Moricone.

    (*much as I love Derek Jacobi and respect Laurence Olivier and Richard Burton)
    (**The other, in a tie for me, is Kenneth Brannagh's 1996 version.)
    (***3.5 stars from Roger Ebert for the 1990 version; 4 stars for the 1996 version)

    In the post I made above, it is fun to watch the conductors. The first almost seems asleep. Very relaxed, waving the baton around, just an easy smooth motion conducting. The woman towards the end that does the video game music is energetic, with her baton, her opposite hand, her body, and her face. She is passionate, involved with the music. The styles are so different. I'm sure that goes for all conductors, but I really noticed it watching these videos.

    Dvorak Symphony no.8.

    Here is a famous recording by Berliner Philharmoniker under the baton of Rafael Kubelik.

    I heard this for the first time recently at the CSO. The 9th is so famous that I think this contemporaneous work is sadly neglected. I was astonished at the melodic and orchestral beauty of this piece.

    Indianbadger,
    One of my favorites of Dvorak’s Slavonic Dances, also played by Berlin led by Sir Simon Rattle. The solo flautist in this clip, Matthieu Dufour, was long standing CSO Principal before leaving for Berlin in 2018(?).

    Kubelik led the CSO ‘50-53 before being driven out of town by Tribune music critic Claudia Cassidy.
