I was pleasantly surprised to see John Williams playing backup guitar in Ralph's honor.

I got a number of the John Williams/Julian Bream records back in the day.

There was one, where they did a whole duet recording of pieces done by Iad Presti and Alexandria LaGoya and I thought that husband and wife team did a better job on the pieces than Julian and John.

Listening to both duets with earphones and stereo, I could never tell which side was Ida and which side was Alex! I did think I could tell the difference in technique between Julian and John. My favorite classical players: Ida Presti, Segovia, Bream, Christopher Parkening, maybe in that order. Ida was never known to have EVER made a mistake!

Also on the earlier posts I did, did you listen and find the same issues? Should I limit my posts to just 2 or 3?
It's I am like a kid in a candy store when I start coming across all those great acoustic musicians.

If it's music you really want us to listen to, the perhaps post one or two. 🙂

Sometimes I love YouTube.

Just found a channel with 2 hours of ocean view and mellow notes of wind chimes.

Brings back memories of Venice Beach. Sigh. Back in the innocent good old days.....


Immediately loved this song after discovering it in a film I watched about Aileen Wuornos, The Selling of a Serial Killer, who had it played at her funeral after her death sentence.

That’s the exact one I watched. I also saw Charlize Theron in Monster. She so deserved her Oscar for that!

Such a tragic woman don’t you think? She should never have been put to death.

Quite an image in those words. Life is good.

Yep, life behind bars maybe, but the electric chair is barbaric.

2400 volts at 8 amps. Jesus, that is almost 20,000 watts going through her body.
A microwave oven only puts out ONE thousand watts......

I thought not many states still did executions but a quick look shows states that DON"T are in the minority.
