What music are you listening to?

Ah, poor Adriano.

I never found Saturdays so annoying, but then I never was "hung over" from various indulgences, or had anything to "repent". :)

Saturdays were annoying in other ways, of course, but because there was too much to do, not too little, whether I liked it or not: food shopping, errands, and cleaning that couldn't get done Monday-Friday because I was working, and, of course, endless children's sports activities or concerts. The absolute worst was swim practice or meets with my daughter. Sometimes we had to leave at 5:30 in the morning. Sundays were activities again, and massive amounts of cooking for the week ahead.

It wasn't all work, of course, so I don't mean to come off as "woe is me". :) We did go out almost all Saturday nights, and some Friday nights, either alone or with friends, or I hosted dinners at our house, or there was a dinner dance at the club. We had a lot of fun all those years. More than one Saturday night I still closed down a Croatian restaurant that became an old fashioned dance hall after 11PM, playing all Italian songs from the pre-WWII years. One night I kept the party going after 2AM by playing the juke box, and when we went home we saw the Manhattan skyline emerge in the dawn. Of course, I don't drink more than a glass of wine or one cocktail, and all the dancing anywhere was done under my husband's eyes. :)

In retrospect I'd also love to be going to those children's activities again. It was so "pure".

I guess I didn't need a lot of sleep then. :)

You know, I never was much of a Celentano fan, but with you and Salento posting his songs, I'm undergoing a conversion. He was funny and very, very, charming.

Not funny or charming, but very sad, here's an American song about the morning after.

Sunday Morning Coming Down:



One of my favorite female singers no matter what she sings: About Mondays. :)

Black Coffee: k.d.lang. I think she's as good a blues singer as any of the greats of the past.

Really beautiful ballads, Angela, thanks

Especially in Kristofferson's I see a bit of a transposition into music of the meaning of some verses from Leopardi's "Il sabato del villaggio":

"Diman tristezza e noia
Recheran l'ore, ed al travaglio usato
Ciascuno in suo pensier farà ritorno."

["Tomorrow sadness and boredom
They will get the hours, and to the used labor
Each in his thoughts will return. "]

One more k.d. lang. I've been listening to her all morning. Then I'll stop. Such a shame she never made it really big; I think her decision to go so "butch" in her appearance in later years, and also the lack of pyrotechnics, stage blitz etc. She's just a woman on stage. That's all you need though, imo, if it's this voice, and this body language.

It’s a powerful emotional rendition of - we’re not gonna take it -

it was made to raise awareness and donations for childhood cancer.

Just what I needed this lazy morning as I sit outside looking at all my beautiful flowering trees. :)
 
Elvira is an "American" name of the south, but it was used in a horror movie for "The Mistress of the Dark". :)

Elvira with the original singers, the Oak Ridge Boys, and one of my favorite a capella groups, Home Free.

Fun song.

I found it very moving.

One solitary, graceful woman dancing for herself and against the plague.

Bravo. :)
