Great musicians play off of each other. Here's a great example of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_6GrnhUzzw

The artist's job is not to succumb to despair but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence.

This is how the people are living in Nevada...

Bunch of Cowboys.

If you go into a cafe in Battle Mountain, Nevada, you will see every guy in the place has a Cowboy hat.

Salute,

What is your favorite Christmas music (regardless of your own religion)?

In no particular ranking...

Sleigh Ride -  Leroy Anderson

The Messiah - Handel

Nutcracker Suite (hard to beat a masterpiece)

Troika - Prokofiev (this is great, paired with the Leroy Anderson one!)

Carols:

O Holy Night (lyrics written, ironically enough, by an atheist)
Good King Wenceslaus
Chestnuts Roasting (esp the Nat King Cole)
Joy to the World (listed because of the audacity of the opening being simply a major scale played backwards!)
Angels We Have etc.
God rest ye merry (got to get a trad. English in there)
In the Bleak Midwinter (underrated, except by choral folk - really one of the greatest)(music by Holst)
O Come, All Ye (any choir worth the name will blow your socks off with this one)
Carol of the Bells (when the harmonies are well done, this is beautiful)
Hark the Herald (Mendelssohn writes damned good music)

Christmas song I never want to hear again because it's a tiresome festering ear parasite that will eat your brain:

Feliz Navidad

(The other one in this last category I don't even mention by name.  You know what it is, you know it causes permanent neurological damage, nothing can be done to stop it!)

Listening to Meat Loaf tracks.  And Ellen Foley should be remembered for her amazing vocals on PbytheDL.  These performers aren't just rocking, they are operatic!  Shed some tears, listening to those times long ago and far away when music was so much better than today.

Kristen Mosca is one of an amazing group of young pianists who are keeping ragtime and boogie woogie alive and thriving.

Putin wants to live by the sword, and he is about to die by the sword. As he dies then no one should weep or fuss. The whole world will be better when Putin is gone.

Honda Center

Yesterday

JUST ANNOUNCED: World-renowned Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli returns to Honda Center on December 4!

Tickets go on sale Monday, April 11 at 10am.

--------

Everyone here is making reservations for a pre-concert dinner at the Anaheim White House Restaurant before the Bocelli concert.

https://anaheimwhitehouse.com/

I would love to take a beautiful woman on a date to dinner and then to the concert, it would be a great night. I need to get things going on so that I can start attending events like this.

Salute,

Tony V.

This is a shitty video in several respects...Berry can't get close enough to the mike on "Memphis, TN" because John is hogging it, Yoko breaks in with a weird little screeching noise, the rhythm section is crud, John shows flashes of awareness that he is a lesser performing talent as his lower register fails him, and the overall audio is hideous.  And yet, this is our chance to see two rock icons perform together.  Maybe some videos can be lost in a solar flare and our culture will be preserved anyway.

Poor Judd is daid,
Poor Naomi Judd is daid,
All gather round her coffin now and cry
She had a heart of gold
And she wasnt very old
Oh why did such a lady have to die?

Eddie van Halen, in a fascinating interview.  What a humble and kind person - real people don't come across as guitar gods or rock icons.  I don't have to wonder if his family and friends miss him. 

Anyway, when you hear people ranting about immigrants and how they just want to be freeloaders, think of the van Halen family. 

They were fleeing the Netherlands, due to mom and dad being a mixed-race couple (she Indonesian) and facing harassment for that.
