Welcome to Litsy!

I am not at all current on pop music, which really hampers our bar trivia performance. Our trivia host gives weekly hints, and they were having a category on Coachella, so I did some research before, and, not only did I learn about an excellent song and artist, but it was a trivia question (we still came in 5th, but I got that question right 😜)

My posts have been sadly deficient of David Bowie for too long! 😄

Driving to work on Tuesday, I was amused when David came on my playlist singing the line:
💬 Where the fuck did Monday go?

The soundtrack of the tagged play was released in 1970 and my dad bought the album. I was 11. Somewhere in the mid 60‘s my mother became a Seventh Day Adventist and our household drastically changed. Listening to this album constantly was an act of rebellion. She HATED it. This clip popped up on IG yesterday so I thought why not share here. I still know all the words.

I stumbled across Owls, Omens, and Oracles by Valerie June while exploring new albums. It's impossible for me to pick a favorite track: it's a #noskips album. Here's a great review of the album:

Robin Gibb & his son RJ composed the Titanic Requiem for the 100th anniversary of the sinking. The song “Don‘t Cry Alone” is beautiful and haunting. #TuesdayTunes

Of course, after posting about his upcoming book, I went down a rabbit hole and learned that, as well as a legendary actor, Sir Hopkins is an accomplished composer. I can't find his album anywhere, but there is evidence of at least one song, including this video of Rieu playing in the first public performance of a waltz Hopkins wrote 50 years prior.

Here‘s the songs I listened to recently on my Amazon Alexa Echo Dot in my room. I like it because all I have to do is tell Alexa what songs to play. I feel like I have my own personal DJ in my room.

On Sunday my daughter and I went to the Oregon Symphony. The opening piece was Mozart‘s first symphony written when he was 8! I was probably still making mud pies at 8 😂. The closing piece was his last symphony Jupiter. It‘s been the year of Mozart this season as we also heard Requiem and saw Amadeus.
