Whats on your turntable tonight?

Election night in Canada, listening to Norah Jones not to late, My Dear Country! It was a scary election...

Rush: Do you know "Song to Athenae"?

e

e, are you referring to "Song for Athene" by John Tavener? I was not familiar with it but I found a YouTube upload by the Westminster Abbey Choir and just listened to it. Very nice piece.
.

Yes Rush. It was used as Lady Dianna's casket was carried out of Westminster Abbey. A sublime moment.

I have sung the piece a few times and every time I couldn't help but think of the image of the solders marching in perfect step carrying the casket into the light of the front doors as the Westminster Abbey choir reached the glorious final chord.

REM - Reckoning -original pressing on IRS

Branford Marsalis Trio - 'The Dark Keys' - great music, fantastic recording

Off Broadway - 'On' - guilty pleasure from 1979 Chicago band, power pop at it's best.
