View Poll Results: What is Music? (Poll added on 6th of May 2012).
Bonnie is an amazing woman. I met her a few times in the DC area. She wandered into a dive club where The Nighthawks were playing way back in the day because the lead player, Jimmy Thackery, was friends of the Raitt family and had been in a band with her brother. It was around 1 AM and she staggered in drunk as a sailor, banging into tables and chairs and in general way over the line. She asked to sit in and they certainly were not about to turn her down but faces looked either bemused or strained. My eyes were glued on her as she fumbled around getting her guitar over her shoulder when an amazing thing happened.... She hit a chord and it was like someone threw a switch. She was in complete control and played and sang her ass off... just blew me away.

Some Overtures by Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.
I thought I had the whole Scottish Symphony, but it's just overtures, including “The Hebrides”.
Now it is Overture and Nocturne from “A Midsummer Night's Dream” (Opus 21).
In a list of composers and musicians that I would have hoped to have met alive for a beer, I put Felix in a group with Long John and Eric.
Vlc randomly provides me with wonderful french chansons, ce mati... this morning. Sorry.
- Jean Ferrat : Que serais-je sans toi
- Barbara : La solitude
I was completely flabbergasted, when confronted for the first time to Jean Ferrat, after about three years that I have lived in France. One of the greatest french singers of all time, and almost unknown today? Ignored by the radio-stations? In Germany we know Moustaki, Barbara, Kaas, Jacques Brel.., but Jean Ferrat? A communist. Ah! All explained. Life is easy and bears no mysteries whatsoever.
As regards Barbara, time is for listening (and even watching, if you do YouTube). Nothing to say there.
- Laughlin, De Lucia, Meola: A different live-version of Mediterranean Sundance. Not the one from the CD... erm. Record.
- Richard Smerin: Blind Drunk in Innocence (originally Les French). I feel like giving you the ogg for this song. Stand by.., I will alter this message.
My wife is not at all into Blues.., nor Rock. She endures my musical predilections more than she enjoys them. But when we were attending to one of Richard's concerts in Fürth, Germany, she was amazed about his mastership on the guitar and said in her broken German with that strong French accent: « Like pearls of honey dropping from the strings »... I held back my astonishment (or awe), seeing how much Richard enjoyed the compliment. It made him smile and he repeated the phrase twice, slowly (in broken German with that strong British accent). Shortly after the concert, he fell ill and spend days in Coma. Diagnosed with the wrong decease for years, after the mentioned concert he told me, that he would give up as he feels as if losing all his capacities as musician and entertainer.
He left hospital with a quite different diagnosis (“simple” diabetes), got the right medication (for a change) and when he read about the death of Amy Winehouse decided to fall dead from the stage rather than retreating from playing music in public.
Ah. And now it is
Nina Simone - Sinnerman (for comments, see Barbara, above)

Darn. I am doing the dishes when VLC hits me with “The Junkman” by Genya Ravan and Ian Hunter.
Won't bore you with my stories. All versions on YouTube are okay, but listen once to the studio-version. Also, itsaboutmusic.com has an edition of “An' I mean it”... she had been upset about the record companies being unwilling to release new editions of her songs, until this guy came along and finally did it. The song is an archetype of something, or it combines all of the elements of a music era... or genre. Whatever. Should have gone to space with Voyager.

Once again, thank you Michael Uplawski, for introducing me to a fine musician previously unknown to me in the person of Richard Smerin. I think what is referred to as Rock 'n Roll and even Blues actually covers a great deal of territory so I thought I'd post a few links that may even be enjoyed by your Lady.
Here is another jewel by Marius: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVaQi58u6eg („I want to return to the road and sing, -not well, but [geil] and loud-. As you know, you find gold in the mud and the road is made of mud.“)
