Musical Interlude: Let us go to that smoky cabaret down the street, where a slinky singer sings about awaiting sweet widowhood, a chanson straight out of a French film noir...
"J'attends," performed by Ute Lemper.

Musical Interlude: Here's a local-to-me performer, doing a wonderful anthem to persistence and strength. It's written for women in abusive/controlling relationships, but it meant a lot to me when I lost a job and was facing an uncertain future.
"You Can't Put My Fire Out," performed by Letitia VanSant.

Musical Interlude: Listened to a composer I was unfamiliar with today, and liked him a lot. Norwegian Christian Sinding is often viewed as the successor to Edvard Grieg, but I enjoy him more. His reputation in Norway suffered because he was supposed to be a member of the Nazi party, but it turns out he was suffering from dementia at the time (he died in 1941) and was being used and manipulated for the sake of PR. Before the onset of dementia he'd been an opponent of the Nazis and had fought for the rights of Jewish musicians. These days he's being rediscovered and his reputation rehabilitated.
"Symphony No.1," composed by Christian Sinding, performed by the NDR Radiophilharmonie Hannover.

Musical Interlude: I found myself humming this randomly today while doing some stuff around the office...dozens have done this song, but of course, I gravitate to Dinah.

Musical Interlude: Well, here's a new discovery. Listening to Mountain Stage this morning, I heard one their guests, the Langan Band, folk musicians I was unfamiliar with. I liked their sound and plan to investigate their work. Here's a sample, from the 2022 Orkney Folk Festival.
"Djelem Djelem/Drunken Dwarf," performed live by the Langan Band.

Musical interlude: Joseph Bologne, the Chevalier de Saint-George, is one of those zesty characters we need to read more about. The acknowledged, yet illegitimate, son of a Caribbean planter and an enslaved woman, he was sent to France to be educated, and became a noted fender, athlete, musician, composer, and conductor. There's already been at least one film about him, and he should be taught about in schools. Often referred to as "the Black Mozart," his compositions encapsulate the Baroque period.
"Sonata for Harpsichord & Violin, No. 3," composed by Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-George, performed by Bridgette Haudebourg and Jean-Jacques Kantorow.

Musical Interlude: Here's another band from the Old Time Festival...Baltimore's resident old time music band, headed by one of the festival's founders. Brad Kolodner not only plays with his band, he hosts a bluegrass radio show and had concerts in his living room. Dude IS music!

Musical Interlude: This whimsical piece has been my earworm lately, and you know how it is with earworms. I hear this and imagine it being used in a children's ballet or similar.

Musical Interlude: At the Old Time Festival, I saw the Golden Shoals (again). I saw them first when they were called the Hoot and Hollers...not sure why they changed their name, but oh well. I'm not a huge fan of their recordings, which are hit and miss for me, but live they're fun. This song came from a visit the singer made to an elderly musician who invited her to stay for a few days, and they lazed about the house in the mountains, puttering and making music. It's a great "vibe" song for a lazy weekend.
"Turn the Radio On," performed by the Golden Shoals.

Musical Interlude: I chanced on Noah Gundersen's music a few years ago, and still can't make up my mind about him. Sometimes he's appealing, sometimes he seems too angry and self-involved. I should delve into his work further, because at least his work is intriguing and right up my musical alley.

Musical Interlude: Listening to some classical today, and this popped up, an old favorite. A musical illustration of two caravans traveling the Silk Road, each with their own musical motif, and as they meet and cross paths, their motifs combine. It's a great piece for music-appreciation classes, and a classic bit of musical orientalism.
(Note about the orientalism: I've seem some condemn orientalism as cultural appropriation, but in all honesty, Borodin and a lot of others always were open about their inspiration for their works, and didn't pretend they came up with it themselves...so as long as you credit your inspiration, that meets my standards for acceptability.)
"In the Steppes of Central Asia," composed by Alexander Borodin, performed by the Main Line Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Don Liuzzi.

Musical Interlude: A random thought brought this wonderful song to mind...a Spanish-language hit from the 70s, it's a passionate love song declaring that the subject is all that gives the singer life and hope. It's a gloriously primal song...but just a damn good song even if you don't understand the words.
"Eres Tú," performed by Mocedades.

Musical Interlude: The New Leviathan Oriental Fox-Trot Orchestra, from out of New Orleans, was a fascinating ensemble with a rather bizarre sense of humor; one of their albums was purportedly recorded in a luxury submarine ballroom under the Arctic ice as WWIII raged overhead. But their sound is definitely legit and old-school...

Musical Interlude: The short-lived group Frenchy, from the 90's cocktail renaissance, didn't make much of an impact but some still remember them fondly. This song's title seems odd, but in some areas it's a phrase used when it's raining but the sun is still shining.
"Devil's Beatin' His Wife," performed by Frenchy.
