    Not a Springsteen fan. Never have been.

    But this is great.

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

      Edit: you may like his album when he was at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Here is one song.

            Another song from his new album. I like it.

            Lying in the meadow green
            Dangling legs in a mountain stream
            From the limb we could jump right in
            Again and again and again and again

            Up in the orchard on the hill
            Sat right down and had our fill
            And though the clouds are touched with grey
            We know no rain will fall today

            So let's take the long way home
            And circle round the standing stone
            through the fields and the old barway
            We fill our pockets up with pecan along the way

            All along the railroad track
            Slip off that rail, break your back
            Hear the sound of the croaking toad
            The sun so round, and red, and low

            Summertime, summertime
            Summertime must yield to fall
            And that's what hurts me most of all

            Summertime, summertime
            said goodbye at the garden wall
            From the house I can hear my momma callin'
            Winter come to us all my friend
            Just as every childhood has an end

                  Stan Getz Astrud Giberto Live at the Berlin Jazz Festival 1966 # 1602 of 3000 pressings on 180 gram vinyl remastered from the original analog tapes. It's so good!

                  Oh, yeah, that's a new turntable and cartridge since the last post. I went a little crazy on that purchase. 🤣

                    My piano teacher Thomas Schwan is doing a small tour playing Chopin's complete nocturnes. I noticed he'll be around where a few forumites live. He's previously played the complete WTC1 and WTC2, and the houses are not always packed, as you can see from the videos. I wish I could have gone to his recital near Dallas tonight. He'll be in Chicago in November. I doubt the houses will be packed, if his WTC recitals are an indication.

                        Kind of an "old school" soul song, done by a recent group; Thee Sacred Souls. Whole album is like this so worth a listen if you like this type of music.

                              Schwan is 5.3% better than Rubinstein.

                                A song from another good album. The "group" is called The Secret Sisters, who are actually two sisters. The album is called Man, Mind, Medicine

                                This song is called All The Ways

                                    @kluurs Interesting story about the singer. LOL

                                    My first thought on hearing the performance was that her voice seemed much more mature than her age.

                                      Listening to his Bach WTC I now. Just about 5-6 minutes in and I am enjoying this immensely.

                                        Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopler. Really good concert video. The did an album together - "All The Roadrunning", which is actually quite good also.

                                        Here is one song from the album (and concert)

                                          They are both remarkable artists.

                                          Probably my favorite Knopfler/Harris collaboration.

                                          Not live, but, still.

                                          Link to video

                                          Harris is 77 now, and Knopfler is 75.

                                          Geezers.
