During our recent holiday we had the great pleasure of attending a concert of the Vienna Chamber Orchestra. Here is a single video that touches many of the loves of my life.
All in one here are Chamber Orchestra, the violin, fantastic score---and lovely ladies----doesn't get better than that

Today I am allowing YouTube to take me where it wants...with a few exceptions.
Here is just one of those songs that takes me back in a very pleasant way to my earlier days.

Moon River has long been at the top of my list of favorites---it is nested in wonderful memories of my youth and dark smokey clubs, dancing with my girl, almost without moving.
This version introduces an entirely different (and new to me) quality.
It is Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. Eric Clapton is a excellent guitarist, but in this case the gold ring goes to Jeff Beck---who is responsible for the tones that seem to be a guitar singing---fabulous! I think Eric Clapton was so taken he missed the cue to begin singing.
