Been a Molly Tuttle fan since she was a little kid playing with the family in Dad's bluegrass band.

Did anyone watch the Opening Ceremony in Tokyo Friday? I loved the version of Imagine they did, but having a hard (if not impossible) time finding a link to put up for it.

Cindi Lauper covering Patsy Montana - “I Wanna Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart”

Something led me into a Cindi Lauper deep dive this morning.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0QwMwS9FdY
That was an old song when I first heard Patsy Montana sing it. Here she is live on Letterman about 33 years ago at age eighty or so.

But this is her original version I first heard sixty years ago on the radio, recorded with 27-year-old vocal cords.

Calling Attention to Arpi Alto. Thanks LT

LT, why aren't you posting on this thread anymore? Thanks for turning me on to Arpi Alto. Sorry for not seeing it earlier. I first looked at her YouTube channel and saw the cover of John Lennon's "Imagine." Remembering cjmmytunes's request for the Olympics version, I watched that one first. Thought to myself, what a pretty girl, wonder what she really sounds like. I've listened to her and watched a bunch on YouTube and Spotify, which I can play on better speakers. She is the real deal. Her voice is so deep and rich but still feminine with beautiful upper register. Doesn't seem autotuned to me; I'm no expert though. Looked for a professional review to confirm and posted one at the bottom. If you watch it, look at this guy's head snap when she opens her mouth at 1:30.

Thanks Pepperhead
Replies in this thread are a little rare. After posting and listening to the linked audio I cried. Got more fingers than times that's happened.

Well Marsshall Tucker just ended efore thaat was Steve Eearle, Toy Keith and now Hank Jr. is on.

Now, WHAT am I listening to ?

Youtube. Somehow it knows what I like, some of it I have on my PC and never played online. It is not in the place where any sneaky program can find it, like in newer PCs is all in the "library". My good collection is not even on here, I have an external.

How does it know / And I mean it knew from the very first, it guesses ? But it is cool, like having your own radio station. Now it came up with a Toby Keith I don't remember. Not bad.

It still gets me how it knows what I like.

I stumbled onto this short clip, and it made me question reality. Angus Young and AC/DC covering... On Broadway by George Benson???

I just listened to Ravel's Bolero by some French orchestra.

[karadekoolaid]

Chopin´s 1st piano concerto with Martha Argerich. I´ve only ever heard one pianist who plays like she does; an eccentric Canadian called Glenn Gould.
The two of them have stainless steel fingers, because no matter how fast they play, you can hear every single note. Stunning.

Nice post LT. Glad to see you back here. She's been showing up in my Spotify feed nearly every week lately.

 

[Termy]

ELO - Roll Over Beethoven.

Not sure what next, maybe let them choose it.

ETA crap, can't because I played it on my PC)

If you knew me well enough you might hate me.

Today I listened to Toby Keith, Alan Jackon, Gordon Lightfoot.

You might hate my selections and if not people with good ears will hate my stereo. When you got some age on you it is better, it is tailored to my ars, after all it is my system. I have some normal stereos but this one ain't it. This one the mid/hi is so strong you can understand every word through the floor. (this is in the basement)

I got a couple of amps around and could be running my GOOD Boston Acoustics. Need a music server though, I do not intend to listen to the radio.

Aaaa, youtube just found Boston's first album. Think I'll let that run. now this is something I like, but how did they know ? I NEVER played a Boston tune online EVER. Well if I did it was a different house, different ISP and back then I DLed everything and didn't need youtube. I as an expert at it. o virus ever because of the software I used, second tier DSL and the programs completely open. That means it would DL from 100 locations. People would call with a request, you can ask them, sometimes I would call them 10 minutes later and "I got the whole album, want anything else ?".
