Song of the moment

Until last night I dont think that I ever expected to hear Jimi Hendrix played on a solo cello...or see a classical string quartet devote an entire show to Hendrix and John Coltrane---but I did ...and it was good!

Some kind soul has posted the great Mozart opera Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) on YouTube. The whole thing, in one video! So cool.

If you have a few free hours, do give it a try. It's charming.

You're Welcome, excie. I do love their harmonies, and they are no slouches on the lyrics either.

It is Shrove Tuesday, last chance for all pious Christians to indulge in rich foods and base pleasures before bidding Carne vale—farewell to the flesh.

I wont'd be in N'awlins but I'll be cooking up some Jambalaya and cranking some Zydeco and Cajun tunes today.

Happy Mardi Gras!

I've been hearing a lot of George Harrison lately on Deep Tracks (XM/Sirius).

I don't think I ever realized before what a talented guy he was.

The Down To Earth beatle. I don't have hbo, but I'm trying to find Martin Scorese's documentary, George Harrison Living In The Material World It looks real interesting.

George had a way of putting things together in simple words and rhyming them and turning them into very meaningful and beautiful lyrics didn't he?.

This one's for you bfh. Maybe we I can turn you into a Wilbury"s fan?????
