As part of Hispanic Heritage Month, I've been listening to the rich and greatly influential contributions to our musical culture.
I really like this haunting Afro-Cuban folk song, "Similau," as performed, quite affectingly, by fellow pipe smoker, Desi Arnaz.

Currently listening to Frank Zappa ~ Halloween 81’ (box set). ?

Essential Opera Overtures on Spotify. I'm not much of an opera buff, but I enjoy the orchestrations of operas( no voices), and I like to listen to the great arias sung by the greats. Sad, because my grandparents sung opera in NYC in the early 1900's.
Currently listening to The Rolling Stones ~ Love You Live.
You should try LaLuna on Sirius. Fabulous Latin jazz. I've loved this music since going to see Mongo Santamaria at the Village Gate in NYC when I was a kid. My parents were fairly strict but somehow they let me spend hours at the jazz clubs unchaperoned. Some of the musicians would let me sit behind the trumpet section and read the charts. The trumpet was all consuming for me as a kid.
Thanks, edger.
I have very eclectic musical interests, and opera is very much a part of the mix. Did your grandparents sing at the Met? I am quite aware of the artists of that and later periods. Perhaps I'd recognize the names?

Some Jack White on SNL, with a cool Eddie Van Halen finger tap tribute at the end?
Nirvana's incredible performance of Come As You Are on MTV Unplugged.
'I swear I don't have a gun'
What a tragic irony of fate.
Yes the lyric is sad considering he went on to commit suicide just a few months after this performance
No, nothing as rarified as that. I believe they sang with amateur music societies and such. I do know that in later years they were members of the Long Island Choral Society. I loved the performances of Messiah at the cathedral in Garden City on Long Island. Thanks for asking. I’ll watch your posts as my tastes are eclectic too.
Maverick and I are listening to Benjamin Britten’s Purcell Variations on Martin Goldsmith’s Sunday Show on Sirius. Maverick is our Norfolk terrier and mellows out to good music.
Currently listening to John Mellencamp ~ The Lonesome Jubilee.
Hey classical music lovers. I just heard that Sirius Symphony Hall will be broadcasting various requiems to honor the victims of COVID 19 starting October 25th. Should be very moving. God bless them.
