Speaking of Elvis ...

1) Watching Bubba Ho-tep this weekend

2) We were at Universal City Walk 20-something years ago, in what used to be City Jazz, they had all sorts of live acts, we caught these guys:

Home - Red Elvises

Igor Yuzov was born in Germany, raised in Ukraine and studied in Russia. He grew up in the former Soviet Union, where folk music was the norm and rock’n’roll was illegal. A rebellious streak, however, led him to seek out the forbidden music. As soon as it became possible, Igor left Russia for...

My thoughts as well. Quite a few outstanding performances there. Susan Tedeschi vocals. drummer Stephen Perkins (Bonham would be smiling from above), Mihirangi the Maori singer, and many more.

A night accompanied by the music of Madness.......

Chaconne by Robert de Visée (a French lutenist and composer from the Baroque period), played on the theorbo.

And now, I am listening to two classic, timeless, ageless, absolutely brilliant, albums, both by Pink Floyd: Dark Side Of The Moon and Animals.

Ah, yes. Well, I was sixteen when I bought this pair of albums, (as LPs, not even CDs - they hadn't yet been invented..), almost immediately before (DSOTM), and very shortly after (Animals) school broke up for the summer holidays; I won't bore you with how often I listened (endlessly) to both albums that summer, but yes, that was quite some time ago, sometime, in the last century......

Sometimes, you forget just how good some of the music you have in your music library actually is.

Classic stuff. Wonderful.
