                    This was unexpected. This was linked on the Acoustic Guitar forum. Paul was featured on the cover of the Costco magazine this month and it started a thread because of the all Koa guitar he is holding which lead to this link.

                    Paul McCartney: “We had two or three afternoons where we just hung out together in a Beverly Hills hotel in the bungalows out the back, and he had his engineer and was set up with a couple of microphones in case anything happened,” he continued. “I was tootling around on guitar, and Kanye spent a lot of time just looking at pictures of Kim [Kardashian] on his computer. I’m thinking, ‘are we ever gonna get around to writing?! But it turns out he was writing. That’s his muse. He was listening to this riff I was doing and obviously he knew in his mind that he could use that, so he took it, sped it up and then somehow he got Rihanna to sing on it."

                          Until his death in July of 2021, Jerry Granelli was the last surviving member of the original group led by Vince Guaraldi that played the the soundtrack for the iconic television broadcast A Charlie Brown Christmas back in 1965. In this 2014 recording we see the Jerry Granelli trio perform Vince Guaraldi's "Linus and Lucy".

                                Perfect.

                                Listen to the chord at 1:17. Totally not what you'd expect, but it really couldn't be anything else, could it? Same at 1:20.

                                *I've got to tell you I've been rackin' my brain
                                I have to find a way out
                                I've had enough of this continual rain
                                A change is comin', no doubt

                                (Chorus) It's been a too long time
                                With no peace of mind
                                And I'm ready for the times to get better
                                A long lonely time
                                With no peace of mind
                                And I'm ready for the times to get better

                                You try to take from me what I cannot give
                                No happiness can I find
                                I have a dream that I've been trying to live
                                It's burning holes in my mind

                                (Chorus)*

                                  I love the Sibelius 3rd. It's perfect "Winter Music," particularly the 2nd movement.

                                  Mustonen's interpretation is really brisk, the 1st movement being a minute faster than most other performances.

                                      From a rare 1961 Russian LP which Jacqueline Eymar recorded during her tour in the USSR. Eymar studied with Yves Nat. Timing below:

                                      00:00 - Ravel Gaspard de la nuit

                                      19:31 - Debussy Images

                                      33:21 - Chabrier Idylle (from 10 Pièces Pittoresques)

                                      37:24 - Yves Nat - Le Bûcheron (from 6 Preludes)

                                        42 years later, we get the 2nd night performance. Listening to it now. Very nice, noise free pressing.

                                          I first saw Thomas Hampson in a performance of Verdi's "Macbeth" staged by the Chicago Lyric Opera. My second encounter with him was when he did a series of songs called "Letters from Lincoln" with the CSO.

                                          I was thrilled - not only because I'm not a huge fan of vocal music - and this really moved me, particularly the "Letter to Mrs. Bixby."

                                          The whole set deserved a listen.

                                          "Abraham Lincoln is my name"

                                          Link to video

                                          "The Gettysburg Address"

                                          Link to video

                                          And, the letter to Mrs. Bixby...

                                          Link to video

                                          *Executive Mansion,
                                          Washington, Nov. 21, 1864.

                                          Dear Madam,--

                                          I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.

                                          I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.

                                          I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

                                          Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

                                          A. Lincoln*

                                          It opens with the theme from St. Matthew Passion and just goes on to break your heart.

                                          If you listen to nothing else in this collection, take 5 minutes to listen to this wonderful setting.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
