What are you listening to at the moment?

a little break from AKB48 (Akihabara 48, Tokyo),

'Yellow River Piano Concerto', the first time when i heard the concerto years ago, i was shocked, deeply moved, hairs stood up...
in the 4th Movement, 'East is Red' (東方紅) was played and that Is a Great tune...

ShenZeng Sym Orchestra, Conductor Lin Da-ye, Pianist Yin Chengzong 殷承宗

i'm using China made mini amp (1.5lb) MouKey MiniAmp4 instead of my Parasound 30lb amp from PC's 3.5mm out, and the sound is big alright into a pair of Canadian PSB passives...

'Don't Look Up' ( DiCaprio Lawrence 2021) reminded me of a Canadian movie i saw; 'Last Night' (released 1999 dir by Don Mckellar) and the song playing at the end of the movie was 'Guantanamera', then the end of the world moment came...at that moment i thought 'Guantanamera' was the best song in the world and Canadian movie is the best movie in the world...

Pete Jolly, “Herb Alpert Presents Pete Jolly” (1968 - A&M Records). This album never made it to CD unfortunately. I have it on vinyl and I copied it onto a CD-R; the sound is excellent.

Pete Jolly has been my favorite Pop, Swing, Jazz, Bossa Nova pianist for a long time. The man is amazing.

Steve Tyrell - Disney Standards

One either loves or hates the sound of Steve Tyrell; I'm a fan.

Sorting through versions of
"Dust My Broom"
on YouTube.
There are about 60 or 70 of 'em, maybe more....Trying to make a Top Ten list.
So far, Austin's Carolyn Wonderland, Johnny Winter, The Delta Cross Band and, of course, Elmore James have made the cut.
This is FUN! :)
