In these hot summer days in Belgrade, when I remember that I had listened this song in November in Copenhagen in Heidi's Beer Bar, endless choice of German and Belgian and Danish beers on tap, plus fernot liquer (*for girls) or plus Dobbelt Røde Aalborg snaps for men, until 04.00 A.M.

Professional composer? That piece was nice, does he make music for films?
I attach information from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rn_J:son_Lindh.
The music I posted was his most well-known, I think.

Originally posted by @torunnImpressive CV for sure! It's funny, I made the decision when in college to pursue technology because I thought ATT I could not make a living doing music. It worked out I was more or less right but my day job in the tech world kept me from pursuing music. Now though, I should have been retired ten years but am still working techie stuff but now have 66 tracks of instrumental music on Soundcloud among them, 40 original guitar, mandolin, keyboard and dulcimer compositions.

I wonder what I would have accomplished musically if I had not taken the techie road back in the day. I had an incredible music teacher back then too, at Palomar College in San Marcos California, Howard Brubeck, Dave Brubeck's brother. He left over 1000 compositions and there is now the Howard Brubeck auditorium at my old alma mater. He composed some of Dave's music also, but not Take Five. I was infatuated with Howard's daughter, Ginger Brubeck, we had a few classes together, she was tall, lovely, lithe. Sigh. I was so taken with her but afraid because she seemed like royalty to me, a country hick🙂
I tried to connect with her much later but could find no way to do that, don't even know if she is alive. Howard died in 1994. If she is alive I am sure she is not a Brubeck anymore, probably Rosenthal or some other married name. The stupid part was I knew she liked me🙂 Oh well, one that got away! Howard was a kind and gracious man.

A magnificent performance by Julian Bream, La Maja de Goya, E. Granados:
Goya was infatuated with this lady
Granados put it down for guitar:
Can't get enough Bream!
Lute, John Dowland:
And Hopkinson Smith on a tiny baroque guitar: double set of strings, can't tell if its 4 pair or 5 rows.
Another Canarios by Kapsberger by Robert Cases on Theorbo and Diego Lopez on Tombak (small drum0

Sílvia Pérez Cruz - " Vestida de nit "
I checked Wiki and see she is Catalonian. Would love a translation of that song, wondered why she was so emotional at the end of the song hugging the guitarist and looking like she was weeping. Was that song about the struggle against Franco?
She is a jewel.
