I don't know what it is, but I never tire of hearing/listening to 'The Planets' by Gustav Holst; especially by a really great orchestra, live.

One of my favorites for sure.

It's such outstanding work.

 

And that's why John Williams lifted so heavily from it to create Star Wars.

 

I mean, Mars. So good.

And Jupiter, so jolly!

 

Heh, the computer game, The Room series takes its music from Neptune.

I admit to having many favorite songs, but this is one of them ... this rendition is just so perfect in every aspect ... guitar playing - flawless, pitch - flawless, bossa nova style - perfect, purity and simplicity of it all - soulful and beautiful ...

What are you listening to these days?

 

[Craig Arko]

This seemed appropriate.

This seemed appropriate.

 

I can't think of anything more appropriate. This song has always been so beautiful, especially sung by Bonnie Raitt. Prayers for John Prine.

Awww ...

Those threads Nick Nelson has been posting made me think of this right away.

A friend of my Mom’s sent her a Beatles playlist, consisting of:

 

Nowhere Man

Here comes the Sun

Help!

If I Needed Someone

Oh-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

With a Little Hell from my Friends

I am a huge fan of Home Free. Their version of this song helped me tremendously as my grandmother passed in January. As I've been headlong into covering the pandemic, I was stopped in my tracks when this song came on my Apple music the other day. I had to pull over and cry. It allowed me to remember her and to take my mind off the anxiety, burden, and fear I had let creep into my life. Instead, I was able to grieve in a healthy way.

 

They released the video for the song today and did a very good job with it:

We’ve been fixated on 60s-70s folk and country lately.

 

I suppose that if I’m going to watch the world burn, may as well just sit back while James Taylor sings the soundtrack.

And this is always giggle-worthy and apropos for our world, particularly when you realize Kristofferson was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford for poetry.
