    This is one of my all time favorite pieces.

    Here played by Alice Sara Ott, 31 years old and unfortunately diagnosed as having MS. The good news is that the treatments for MS have come a long way since I was making 100 mile bike rides for them.
    I work with a lovely young lady of 60 who has MS but most of the time she is the only one who knows--she does have to avoid getting overly tired or stressed but she is fully mobile and rides her bike and paddles her kayak regularly.

    Oh, that is just wonderful, both the soloist and the orchestra are perfect.

    If Beethoven floats your boat, I highly recommend the movie below depicting the first playing of his revolutionary Symphony #3 “Eroica.” This symphony truly marked the landmark onset of the Romantic period of classical music, and as it was stated in the movie, “From now, everything changes.”

    Lovely, there are times that I wish I had lived when the masters worked---but then I realize very few ever got to hear their work--we are blessed to be able to enjoy their art at will

    Here is another.

    The location is in Norway and the ruins which have been incorporated into this modern structure date to the mid 12th century.
    There are a number of venues in Europe that either incorporate into a modern "surround" or use in their stabilized state of ruin, without adornment, as part of the experience.

    I was awakened around midnight last night and started reading an article about Buddy Holly's untimely death. That lead to an article about the demise of several members of Lynyrd Skynyrd in a plane crash. Which took me to the music of George Thorogood.

    I recognize a couple of his songs, but I don't recall his name or the name of his band, the Destroyers. I'm not surprised, at that time I was into 50s and 60s rock, but mostly country.

    After a few YouTube videos I found that I really like his music. I especially like the music when I can see him in a video. Watching how he gets into his music is almost as cool as the music itself.

    I'll have to come back to that when i have some time----but for now I will offer up my favorite rendition of that song. John Lee Hooker convinces me he has been there and done that!

    They don't get any better than John Lee Hooker, Dave!

    For an extra treat, here is John Lee Hooker and George Thorogood on the stage at the same time!

    BOOGIE!

    [edit]

    I forgot to mention Albert Collins is on the same stage as John Lee Hooker and George Thorogood!

    And then there is this with Albert Collins and George Thorogood.

    Madison Blues

    Thorogood is the real deal, the masters come out to play with him.

    That is the kind of thing that makes me wish I had been there

    I saw George and the Destroyers (when they were a 5 man band) at a bar in Flagstaff Az called Shakey Drakes. Would have been around 1981.

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
