I had a vinyl copy of Hot Rats, it was a big deal in 1969. There were 3 guys from my neighborhood who worked for Zappa at the time, just some roadie type work. So his music was well known to us at the time.

Yeah, he was from Baltimore, so he's kind of a big deal in Maryland. His interviews are interesting. He always looks like he's being interrogated by a hostile enemy, which is probably exactly how he saw it.

My new favorite song. Kind of makes me a bit sad however. Growing up in a rural village, the loss of family farms is happening all over, so I can relate to this song.
Link to videoDriving through the Land of Lincoln always gets me thinking
Of the flatlands where I come from and the life I left behind
The corn grew high on Grandpa's farm
Now they boarded up the barn
That way of life from long ago just withered on the vineYou can take a girl out of the heartland
But you can't take the heartland from the heart
Of a flatland girlYou can plant your dreams in God's green acre
Send 'em to Heaven in a grain elevator
But prayers don't run a tractor
or promise a summer rain
And I found out when I was young
Thet a farmеr's day is never done
And whеn the hard times hit the heartland
And I had to move awayYou can take a girl out of the heartland
But you can't take the heartland from the heart
Of a flatland girlThen one day from the Windy City
In blew a man who could talk too pretty
Had a long look and Grandpa shook
That's been five years ago
Nowadays when I'm up in the Land of Lincoln
I ask myself, "What were they thinking?"
All that's left is a photograph of the flatland fields of homeYou can take a girl out of the heartland
But you can't take the heartland from the heart
You can take a girl out of the heartland
But you can't take the heartland from the heart

Just released on Apple Music. I'm a huge fan of the the Handel keyboard suites. Just started listening to this now, so no opinion yet.

Meh.
Very dry. No passion or joy in it.
Gimme Ragna Schirmer's or Murray Perahia's performance any day.

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

This guy's WTC is very good IMO. He also has a WTC2 performance on youtube.

That's disappointing to hear. I've liked Cho in some things I've heard though I've not heard him in Handel. I have both the Perahia and Schirmer recordings - and agree that they're excellent.

Yeah, it was, of course, technically very good, but didn't have the "soul" or "joy" that Perahia and Schirmer have. Jarrett's recordings of the suites are a bit on the dry side, but I still enjoy them.

@Horace at 3:02, does he repeat the G in measure 9?
I don't know. Are you familiar enough with that piece that it sounded wrong to you?

Yep. I learned it many moons ago. In fact, I tried to hack my way through it this week.

He misses the G and hits A instead. Then repeats the A, which follows the score.

That's right. I mis-heard.
I just found it glaring, because that's the fugue subject - the ascending 5 note motif.

Yep. Well, he recovered well.
