Only read this if you like opera or classical music - most of this went over my head, but it is readable when it gets to the historical background of some of Handel's pieces.
Definitely not for a beginner musician - you need some understanding of terms, etc.

Whene'er a cloud appears in the blue
Remember, somewhere the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do
Is make it shine for you“ 🌤️

Welcoming the cool air, lightly clouded sky & bird song this morning with coffee & a book. The occasional crow of a rooster breaks the quiet.
This day‘s musical pick adds to the sacred feel of the morning. #porchlife

The history of hip hop, dissected by one of the greats. All the big rappers are here, as are some of the less famous but equally important. At times, I had no idea who Questlove was talking about. I guess that‘s the point. Quest tried to make this friendly for those of us who may not follow hip hop music in depth, but it is clearly hard being a genius and trying to dumb it down for us plebeians.
I had fallen a couple of days behind in my listening of this book, and listened to yesterday‘s piece today
That felt a little serendipitous. I saw Moonrise Kingdom directed by Wes Anderson yesterday. Benjamin Britten is mentioned several times and when the music is shown at the end, several of his pieces had been used. Life works in mysterious ways sometimes
@WildAlaskaBibliophile usually crank the 80s and 90s country hits during road trips, and this weekend we spent Saturday in Homer. A song from this album popped up. This was an early favorite of mine; I grew up with country music from my mom and classic rock from my dad. This was one of the early country-pop crossover hits, but I think it was well-balanced. https://youtu.be/hU0nP9dcI_w

I can honestly say this is the first string quartet with didgeridoo I‘ve ever heard. And the first Sculthorpe. Not really good for “background music at work” today, what with the barking and all. 😀
