An old friend of mine and I measure the milage on our occasional tears around the country by how many times Clapton's "Layla" album plays. For instance, Grand Rapids is three Laylas from Chicago . . .

I didn't get far enough into this recording to make 'the marble connection', but I like the music

so far. It's exciting and relaxing at the same time. Which is unusual and nice. ( :

The 'Layla Measurement' is hilarious!

I'm a little hesitant to say that this was an all time great song, done by an all time great musician.

Until 1974!

Which was when he did 'I shot the sheriff'. which is one of the most hideous songs of all time.

I completely wrote him off then, and he continued to do nothing but dreck from then on.

At one point I think we were mentioning 'theme' songs from TV shows and similar.

Here's a quick clip from the intro to 'The Goldbergs'.

No idea where this is from, but I really like this music. ( :

I'd forgotten all about Ally McBeal! Great show and great song, but as a huge Joni

Mitchell fan, I don't think there's much point in anyone else trying to sing her songs.

With one exception, all her songs are just as she and God intended them to be.

(For some reason, she never sang what might be her best song well.

But Judy Collins 'nailed it', so life is good.)

Really like that one, Winnie! I hope they win.

It makes me think of 'folk' just as much as 'country'.

Most people in this country don't even remember 'folk'.

(By 'most people' I mean people who aren't old as dirt like me.)

But it included a lot of really terrific stuff, both 'nice' and 'radical'.

Don't really understand 'country' music as it's done now.

It usually seems kind of 'folksy', but apparently you're not

allowed to sing it unless you wear stupid clothing and have a

Southern accent. There are so many 'country' people up North,

and that continues all the way through Canada until you get to

Alaska, that I just don't understand this at all. ( :

I just never knew that Tchaikovsky wrote besides Swan Lake and the Nutcracker this one:

We, who mystically representing the cherubim and singing the thrice-holy hymn to the life-creating Trinity, let us now lay aside every worldly care so that we may raise up the king of all who is invisibly borne aloft by the angelic orders Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
