Spent a most excellent evening re-visiting an old concert.
It was wonderful seeing aapro Zubin conduct The Star-Spangled Banner but I am curious to know why only Kissinger had his right hand over his heart. Or is that only compulsory in the presence of Old Glory?

What a beautiful song. Thanks for posting.timmy wrote:
Then, I love this traditional Mexican song by Selena. It is said that African American performers have "soul" a certain unique quality and feel to their music. Hispanic performers have something like that, and although I don't have a name for it
I believe it falls in the same genre as cu curu cucu by Harry Belafonte and many others. I found this one at random and thought it was a good rendition

Intense emotion in music is normal in Indian music - hence all Bollywood movies are musicals - meant to tickle an emotional people

Re: The Music Thread.
I was going through some music tonight, and wanted to add another very favorite of mine to this old thread.
I very much appreciate the work of the acknowledged greats, like Hendrix, Santana, Clapton, Page, Stevie Ray, and many others. However, one that is a great favorite of mine, right at the top, is Robin Trower. He isn't very well known today, except by his fans, but he has been putting out real music since the 60s and shows no sign of slowing down. He is considered the truest disciple of Jimi Hendrix, but he has gone his own way and still makes great, innovative, and creative music.
My favorite is a live recording from the King Biscuit Flower Hour in 1977, performing a version of a cut from his own band's first album, Twice Removed From Yesterday, called "Daydream." The band did a number of live versions; this one is my favorite, but I couldn't find it on Youtube, so I'm including this one from a 1975 San Francisco performance. The sound and film are not good, but you get a great view of Trower's energy and power, as well as the soulful, sweet voice of the late Jimmy Dewar, one of my most famous vocalists. I love Robin's music of today, but there is still something missing without Jimmy's special voice.
Trower has made something like 23 studio albums and I do heartily recommend delving into them if you're not an aficionado!
