I see that peerless vocalist Dave Clayton-Thomas (Blood Sweat & Tears) recently passed away.
Damn. I saw him and BS&T live in Johannesburg back in the late 1970s, and they blew the doors off the theater.
Oh no… I have to apologize for this one.
On the other hand, I don’t see why I should be the only one to suffer.
Speaking of music — actual music, now — I’ve talked about Georgian hottie and pianiste extraordinaire Khatia Buniatishvili before, and I might even have posted this performance of ol’ Sergei’s 2nd before.

But one thing I have heretofore missed about this particular video (and I’ve watched it many times) is the performance of the conductor, Italian maestro Gianandrea Noseda. Small wonder that he’s so in demand.
If I were ever to aspire to being a classical orchestra conductor, I’d want to be like him.
Extraordinary.

One of Canuckistan’s better exports, I think, and one of the best balladeers ever.
