One of my favorite myths. Sweet Persephone has returned from the Underworld to spend six months with her beloved mother, and Demeter shines her joy onto all the earth, bringing fertility and joy to the land and animals. :)

Lovely to see the children learning to dance, too.

Caro papa'


I always cry, no matter how many times I've heard it.
 
I've recently gone down a Galli-Curci rabbit hole. Here she is paired with Tito Schipa, whom I've always liked.

It's just heaven. She's spoiling me for everyone else. Even with these old recordings I just want to l listen to her all day.


Singing an English song:
 
Lecce mia - Tito Schipa
… a Tribute to his City, and mine :)

Lecce is like a Baroque fantasy; so lovely.

Had no idea he was from an Arbereshe family. It shows their complete incorporation into Italian culture, and the inclusivity of that culture.

I had some experience of that personally. It was ten years before I learned that the wife of an Italian American couple in our pool club was Arbereshe. It's not that she wasn't proud of her ancestry, just that she knew Americans wouldn't understand it, so she didn't go into it with more casual acquaintances.
 

They say I'm crazy
I really don't care
That's my prerogative
They say I'm nasty
But I don't give a damn
Getting girls is how I live
Some ask me questions
Why am I so real?
But they don't understand me
Or really don't know the deal about a brother
Trying hard to make it right
Not long ago
Before I win this fight, sing
