Sandro, this is for you.  :D
Thank you, but I prefer more slender types even if the sing "O my dear daddy" :D.

Incidentally, I've just added my new orchestrations of 3 songs by my favourite light-music composer, Cole Porter:

-  It's All Right With Me
-  It's De-Lovely
-  What Is This Thing Called Love

I'm not suggesting you sleep with her.  >:D   Just listen with your eyes closed. :P

I'm certain you're aware Monserrat Caballe is still alive.  She's 83.  Pretty amazing, given her size.



After the fall of communism, the biggest mistake Boris Yeltsin's regime made was not to disband the KGB altogether. Instead it changed its name to the FSB and, to many observers, morphed into a gangster organisation, eventually headed by master criminal Vladimir Putin. - Gerard Batten

I like the social consciousness of this song -

Marie Laforêt made the Italian charts with a couple of hits in the 1960s:

Sandro,

When walking down a smaller street in Rome with my late wife Nancy we passed an alley and there was a working man just down the street/alley with an open shipping door.  Assuming he was all alone he broke out with opera singing. Set the tone for us for our whole visit. !!!!

   Ever see a Hurdy Gurdy performance?
This lady can really play...................

Ever see a Hurdy Gurdy performance?
A medieval instrument also known as organistrum or ghironda or symphonia.

High relief in Santiago de Compostela's cathedral.

Apropos of strange chordophones, how about the Swedish nyckelharpa ;)?

The Italian version (The Date) of Roberto & Erasmo Carlos's 1969 Sentado à beira do caminho (Sitting beside the road) - which I recently finished orchestrating (http://www.floriani.it/ballroom-eng.htm#new) :D.

G said thank you, Sandro.  He'd forgotten Ornella Vanoni, who was popular in Kyiv in the 1970's.

Glad I could evoke some good memories ;). She's still occasionally active, always with a wobbly pitch control that she's very good at masking ;D.

She started her career singing "canzoni della mala(vita)", i.e. songs of low-lives. An example:

Hopefully, I am not the only Alice in Chains fan on this board. I have a strong feeling Jumper probably loves Alice as well. The Seattle grunge movement of the 1990's...the pinnacle of music in my lifetime. Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Mudhoney, Nirvana, Pearl Jam...some of the greatest bands of all-time. Wish I had lived in Seattle in the 1990's.

A band that's still around, but never as good as when David Clayton-Thomas was their frontman.

I saw these guys here in Schenectady NY at a free concert because my wife's nephew kept insisting we see his friends play. Man, was I glad I went. This group is abolutely fantastic. Imagine a bunch of Upstate New Yorkers who have never ventured more than 100 miles in any direction from their home going crazy with the music. I was absolutely contagious. This song was the same they played as their "encore" when the crowd were asking for more. As you can see in the video, the reacion from the public seems to be universal.  ;D
