The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

I have no idea where that came from…

Summer Rain

Still magic… after all these years.

Here are a few recommendations for the above, taken from my favorites.  Times are approximate.

Schubert’s Trout Quintet (40 minutes)

Schubert’s Impromptus (2.5 hours) (by the way, this visual rendition of #4 in A-flat major is mesmerizing)

Haydn’s String Quartets (six; 70 minutes)

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons (40 minutes)

Addinsell’s Warsw Concerto (10 minutes)

Chopin’s Etudes (twelve; 30 minutes)

Johann Strauss II – Essential Works (2.5 hours)

From old rock band Sweet, all about changes.

I actually met the vocalist/lead guitarist (with the long silver hair, can’t remember his name) at the King’s Arms in Wiltshire with The Englishman.

I think the song is about his dealing with cancer, because apparently he died of it not long ago.

Or it could be about his getting married to some hottie in Vegas immediately after hearing the diagnosis — it’s difficult to tell, because he had a fantastic sense of humor.  Lovely man:  quiet, unassuming, just an ordinary bloke whose band made it big and never let it get to his head.

Not bad, for a lesbian.

And yes, she does look like Kevin Kline.
