          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 video

                Driving 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 vine

                You can take a girl out of the heartland
                But you can't take the heartland from the heart
                Of a flatland girl

                You 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 away

                You can take a girl out of the heartland
                But you can't take the heartland from the heart
                Of a flatland girl

                Then 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 home

                You 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
                Of a flatland girl

                  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.

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

                    Meh.

                    Very dry. No passion or joy in it.

                    Gimme Ragna Schirmer's or Murray Perahia's performance any day.

                        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.

                                    I don't know. Are you familiar enough with that piece that it sounded wrong to you?
