Ingeborg Hallstein, arguably one of the greatest coloratura sopranos ever.  Here she is singing Voices of Springtime, by Johann Strauss Jr.

I feel like her heart is in every note.

Wasn't into the GD at all until I heard this song.  A beautiful  meditation.

The animated/Tarot video is also a good one for connecting with this song.

Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from societys pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That hes in

Tight instrumentals.  Good harmonizing.  My daughter plays fiddle in a band that has a similar sound - though they avoid the use of flatpick on a banjo. 
 
My daughter also plays banjo - she heard me playing when she was little (piano and guitar were more my instruments, but I did learn the basic fingerpicking and 3-finger roll) and likely absorbed the concept dad plays banjo, how hard could it be?

Damn!  Thanks for sharing that! 

This song makes me think of Bergman's Seventh Seal, the knight playing chess with Death.

Infinitely listenable shimmering soul jam.  Sad as hell he was murdered a few months later.  I was listening to this while working in the shop, just had to put down my tools and soak in it.

Debby Gibson is Pregnant with my Two headed Love Child is a timeless classic!  Played by Winona Ryder in the video.  Twas a time when I would watch a floor wax commercial if Ms Ryder was in it.

Also, Drunk-Divorced Floozie (The Ballad of Diana Spencer). 

How can you see a title like that and not listen?

Just realized Mojo and Winona were both in that Jerry Lee Lewis biopic.

Remembering this seventies novelty song done by an ad hoc band (session musicians teamed up with a professional auctioneer), and teenage me marveling that such lyrics could be memorized.

Wish I was in Tijuana eating barbecued iguana.

(I think Border Radio preceded Mexican Radio by a couple years...Blasters a possible inspiration to Wall of Voodoo?)

The Dragonfly is a great club in Hollywood with a great smoking section for guys like Carlos Santana and Willie Nelson who like to smoke pot.

https://dragonflyhollywood.com/

It says Hip Hop on the page, but Metal bands play there too, and the Punkers jam there too.

It would be a cool spot for Orianthi to jam at.

And the Hollywood Vampires, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.
