#sympathetic — Public Fediverse posts

Tomorrow's the big day ~ SPRING! I know it doesn't feel very Spring-y but the sun will return, promise.
I also promise you'll love Blossom Dearie's "They Say It's Spring"; she debuted it in 1958. By Marty Clark (#lyric) & Bob Haymes (#music), it's got this ten bar refrain that's just the bee's knees. I'm determined to cover it (in my key), make it last six minutes LOL

As with much of Trump's #campaign #antics, it calls back to the #tactics of the #Nazis, who turned a #murdered #scumbag named #HorstWessel into a fallen #fascist #hero #honored in #iconography and #song. Babbitt is even easier to prop up as a #sympathetic #figure, she was both #pretty and #female

Another day, another #forgotteninstrument... Meet the viola d'amore, similar to a #violin or #viola but with six to seven melodic #strings and, more importantly, a number of non-playable #sympathetic (resonating) metal strings which provide warm, lush and #drone-like #harmonics.
