    Another great, The Phantom of The Opera.

    My first Broadway show was in thee early 70's when my wife and I went to see Jesus Christ Superstar. It was a different day and time---some of the audience (not us) was freely smoking pot during the performance!

    Latter, I worked for Knoll International (for 20 years) whose headquarters were in Manhattan and we would have quarterly staff meetings there which would last for two or three days. During those meetings they would make arrangements to go to a Broadway Play on one evening. That was were I first saw Phantom of the Opera. When my wife found out it wasn't long until I saw if for the second time

    The link above is from the stage performance. Joe rightly pointed out the difference between vocal artistry of on stage and film, the same applies here.

    Here is another change of pace.

    This is Andreas Vollenweider. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I have two or three of his albums and when I tell people what the featured instrument is they are always a bit astounded---as was I when I first heard him.

    And a second selection, this another of my favorites.

    This was just playing and always manages to pull me away from my work.

    When I was only 18 and going to Army school at Ft. Devens MA (near Boston) I met a young lady who was in her early 20's---and I had a fake ID that made me the same age. It was a wonderful time---I was making about $70/month but managed to supplement my income through various entrepreneurial endeavors which allowed me to entertain my lady in reasonable style. Weekends would find us at our favorite intimate cabaret---dark, smokey, and filled with the music of 1962/63---and of cabarets. Moon River, I left My Heart in San Francisco, Stranger on the Shore, Morgan, Autumn Leaves. We would dance into the early morning hours almost not moving on the floor. It was a wonderful time for the Mennonite farm boy playing in a different world---and one I immediately fell in love with. Eva Cassidy can take me back to that place in a moment. Sadly she is no longer with us.
