A Nordic Legacy: The Music of ABBA

The following email was originally posted on July 27, 2018

In continuation of the Viking theme begun this week, for this Friday I offer a certain Nordic group singing the best selling song of their career

and encourage you to go to your local theaters this weekend to view the group's legacy in full bloom including

and, of course, the movie's title song

If you follow this advice, I can almost assure you that you will come away with a smile on your face.  And what better medicine can there be in such turbulent domestic times as we have now?

Go forth, my friends, and enjoy.

Peace,

My Favorite Things

Just listened to a report on the pbs newshour about a newly found recording of John Coltrane from 1963

For Coltrane fans this is tremendous news, akin to winning the lottery or finding buried treasure.  For those of us who are not quite as rabid, but are fans none the less, it serves as a reminder of Coltrane's genius and artistry and causes us to recall some of our most favorite things

Leann Rimes

Pursuant to my email from last Friday (see below), I did indeed go to the Marin County Fair on Wednesday, July 4, and I did attend the Leann Rimes concert.  I enjoyed it immensely.  The girl can most definitely sing.  While she did not get around to Amazing Grace, she did do the songs that I love such as

and

and, of course,

However, one I had not heard before caught my attention the most.  Not all may like it, but I did ... especially the message.

I found out yesterday that LeAnn Rimes will be appearing at the Marin County Fair on Wednesday, July 4.  I am thinking about going to see her if for no other reason than in hopes that she will sing this song
