We've been to the "Alte Oper" Frankfurt yesterday and enjoyed the "Weihnachtsoratorium" of this very special man, who is, in my opinion, one of the talented composers ever.

 

Johann Sebastian Bach's music is sometimes difficult to understand.

But once you've come to the point, you'll find he's one of the greatest musical genies of all times.

His Christmas Oratorio is simply beautiful. Johann Sebastian Bach's complete work is a chapter of 170 CDs, while he only got 65 years old. Bach's work should be sent to outer space, just to to show what human beings were able to do.

 

Love that Gene Clark album, a true great

 

Bought it after seeing the Laurel Canyon film. Listening to it after Sturgil’s lovey but angry bombast and Black Keys R&B didn't do it justice. It rewards multiple listens for sure.

 

PS: This kid is totally enjoying himself BTW. How could he not?

 

Just rediscovered this after many years

 

I myself usually just listen to my Wife. Kind of like a noise of a blown piston in an engine. Translated 'give me all your money" She's Filipina yah know; Cheers!

 

I must be getting old. I like this sort of thing nowadays....

 

Slightly off thread but that won't be a first on this forum, tidying out the loft and came upon this old radio from way back inserted some fresh batteries and blasting out 'Coldplay' good style, now I just have to find the power cord

 

On a frost gray Colorado morning

 

Sunday morning with the late great Aretha Franklin.

 

Old Sony kitchen radio ... just sprayed contact cleaner on the volume control. Still sounds great. And an old Realistic weather radio. That has been superseded by weather apps sadly.

 

Outside Tokyo by the Stranglers. Always nice to keep to the watch theme.

 

Brilliant choice.

 

Beethoven today, of course.

 

Thanks for mentioning the volume control as the Sony volume is a bit iffy, will try contact cleaner
