I've been listening to The Corrs all day.

Andrea is so damn beautiful and talented. They all sound so incredible together.

Here are a couple, though only the first one is on the Royal Albert instrument.

Ms. Lapwood is a joy to listen to and to watch in action. Make sure you pay attention to the second clip @3:20 as she "rolls up her sleeves" to take on the fugue. Adorable. Gawd... the first clip has her personality (and musicianship!) all over it. I'm smitten with this young woman. I fantasize about being 40 years younger, living in England and not being married, and doing everything I could to meet her. An amazing talent!

Love it!!
I love the way she gets her foot kickin'

Neo-Traditionalist (mostly) Country-Western with The Sadies and Punk / Americana icon John Doe:

(covering John Doe's and Exene Cervenka's own song from their days with legendary punk band X.)

From the 2009 album "Country Club".

Ah, some Blues:-

That first part where she hit to Go pedal and that English Diapason Chorus burst out; and on a 5-manual machine, too !

Ms. Lapwood really knows how to make effective use of the solo division (top keyboard). Amazing.

Every once in a while I hear somebody describe the sound of a large instrument like this as "a roar". This one friggin' ROARS! I'm disappointed that there seems to be so few recordings of it. Hopefully she's going to change that.

How about combining old school heavy metal and J-pop? Yeah it should not work but it so does, even if I don't speak Japanese.

Thank me later.

I just looked it up. (see here: https://www.royalalberthall.com/abo...lore-our-history/building/henry-willis-organ/ )

It bears the name "The Voice of Jupiter", was built by Henry Willis, about 1871, and at one time was reckoned to be the biggest pipe organ in the World. The largest pipe is two-foot six in diameter and 42 foot long (there are gettin' on for a thousand pipes). Sydney (Oz) has an organ with a 64ft long open pipe.

If anyone could be said to be "the Master" organ builder, it's Henry Willis. He did things with wood pipes that continental builders failed to do. They all seemed to like a "Trumpet chorus" considered by many English ears as 'too strident'.

Slowdive at Glasto 2023...

Very nice to see Neil and Rachel onstage and playing together and in good health, with the lads again.

My favorite Slowdive will probably always be Rutti:

James Priest - Electric Sex Machine

Didn't expect the looseness of James Brown to jive so well with Judas Priest's tight groove. One of the better mash ups I've heard.

I've got a story in the works right now, in which a couple divorce. Neither spouse has an affair, but something happens where they take such a financial hit that they try to play catch-up but don't succeed.

Their feelings toward each other, however, sum up in Carole's lyrics:

There'll be good times again for me and you,
But we just can't stay together ... dontcha feel it too?
Still, I'm glad for what we had ... and how I once loved you ...

The Doobie Brothers' Greatest (IMO) NON-Hits

I haven't been listening to much else this past week.

I've seen this band several times, starting with their farewell tour when I was just a lad, and most recently in the last 10 years when they were still killing it at much smaller venues. It is amazing to me how versatile they were/are, from signature rock to blues, zydeco, country (South City Midnight Lady), CSN-like harmonies, multi-part instrumentals, even credible "light" jazz (South Bay Strut) ... the musicianship these guys had (and still have), even in their still-touring 70s, is astounding!

 

[Bramblethorn]

Love this version.
