Listening to this now

I Walk On Guilded Splinters - Dr. John

I have no idea what he is singing about, I never really listened to the words, I'm too interested in what the musicians and background singers are doing. The song is nothing more than a delightful trance to me.

My favorite version of this one.

Nice one Jackson

My dad had a collection of Spike Jones records, and this reminds me of Dad. Silliness and music combined. My dad played trumpet, violin, ukulele, and in his later years organ.

Brazil Song - Mark Murphy with Viva Brasil

Perhaps one of the great North American interpreters of Brazilian songs backed by a band from Brazil. Delightful.

I've not heard this one yet, but I have appreciated some of the other works by The Residents (some more than others), this one seems like it might be quirky-fun, so let's give it a go, shall we?

Beyond the Valley of a Day in the Life - The Residents

Well IMHO it wasn't the best song by The Residents.

Here is one of my favorite Paul Desmond songs. Dave Brubeck and the others do a fine job backing him up

Blue Rondo à la Turk - The Dave Brubeck Quartet

That was back when the world was in black and white

And I might post it again. I do listen to songs more than once. ?

Here is a nice symphony by a romantic Russian master. I don't think I've posted this one before, and it'll keep me entertained for about a half hour

Symphony #2 (Antar) - Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov

Hmm seems to be a classical day for me.

Slovak Suite - Vítězslav Novák

This is not the version I have on my CD player, but it's the same piece of music.

I loved the first 9 minutes of the Slovak Suite.

But then there where more when i was expecting it to end. ?

I'm obviously damaged by modern times instant satisfaction and lack of patience.

Sorrryy...
