Inspiration

Still Tash Sultana: Today: "Can't Buy Happiness" (great video on YouTube)--nice hearing her play on an acoustic guitar, too; while she always rocks it on the electrics, such as on "Brain Flower" (busking video on YouTube, how she started and still does). She plays on many instruments (piano, pan flute, trumpet, etc) as you can see in her shows.

Also to a local artist and her band: Tianna Woods. Country and more!

Lucia Micarelli (my favourite violinist) also plays a mean cover of Zeppelin's "Kashmir." And don't miss her "Time After Time" jazz classic cover, on which she sings, too!...so beautiful, as she remember's her father, too. I know... Yet, my all-time favourites by her are her rendition of "Gabriel's Oboe" (a song from the musical score of the film by Ennio Morricone, "The Misson," and her duet with trumpetist Chris Botti on "Emmanuel"--pure heart strings taking flight on the wings of the Soul. 

And for a powerhouse, ascending other version, the original from the movie, versions of "Gabriel's Obe​" check out the soundtrack, and while there check out the "Ave Maria" in Guaraní. Pure beauty.

Yet, perhaps, the "Ave Maria" that touches me most deeply is a version attributed to G. Caccini, that my father showed me. We listened to it together the day he passed. Que descanses en paz, Papá.

Here is that one, a gorgeous orchestral performance of the piece, featuring soprano Nina Solodovnikova with the IOSP. Here is another version I found sung by Giorgia Fumanti.

​

Delta Goodrem: Her "Not Me, Not I" is a beauty, and the official video is beautifully done.

Tash Sultana: "Jungle," "Notion," among her "Live Bedroom Recordings"; and

listen to her "KFOG Private Concert: Tash Sultana (Full Concert), holy moly!

Both are Australian artists. Great singers, songwriters and soul sisters.

Billie Eilish: "No Time To Die," "you should see me in a crown," "everything I wanted," and her song with Khalid, "lovely."

Finneas: "Break My Heart Again," 'Angel" and "Shelter" anda throwback to a song of his I had listened to before: "Only a Lifetime." Great songwriters.  And the Billie Eilish and Finneas siblings acoustic show: "Billie Eilish Special Acoustic Show At Telekom Forum Bonn (Electronic Beats TV); my choice from that show is "Billie Bossa Nova."

Liking this artist's music. Her song "Karma"  (awesome video) reminds me of Fleetwood Mac, the riff at the start of it. Her singing is reminiscent of Tori Amos." Her song "The King" is also one of my top choices.

Any of his violin concertos put me in the right frame of mind for study and contemplation. For me his music is at the same time physically balancing, mentally clarifying, scientifically precise, rhythmically stimulating and sensual.

My siblings are amazingly creative, super smart and unique. But they are awesome, and I have many wonderful musical memories shared, among all of our recuerdos de familia.

Found this new track by Kierra Sheard. Wow, is all I can say. I am so grateful for songs such as this one that come straight from the heart of the Divine Source.

I recently discovered this violinist who plays Beethoven, Coldplay and Prince with equal mesmerizing gusto and spirit.

Check our his "Viva la Vida" "Purple Rain" on YouTube, as well as his Beethoven's 5th or Scherzo.

Just heard this artist, too. Beautiful. Found her animated video for "come into my arms" on Vimeo, which then led me to her other songs on Apple Music. Gorgeous. My fave so far: ""open arms"
