The Music Thread! What Are You Listening To? #4

This is my favorite all time Trio, The Bee Gees. I am so glad that I was able to see them a few times in concert. The last time that I had seen them was in Las Vegas. A fellow that was going to be on my plane walked up to me while I was waiting at the door to the airbridge and asked me if I was staying over in Vegas. I told him that I was. He asked me if I would like a pair of tickets to see The BeeGees. I told him absolutely. I wasn’t even aware that they were going to be there.

I invited my F/O to go along, but he told me that he had plans to meet someone and they were going clubbing. So, I invited the female Purser and she accepted. It was a great concert and to kick it off, the show was being videoed for a DVD. I think we were at the MGM and we had really good seats with free drinks.

So much outstanding talent—-gone.

 

Before the pandemic, my wife and I would go to New York maybe twice a year to attend a concert . We would, of course, go for the entire weekend, staying at Trump Towers and eating at some of New York's finest restaurants, but that now has all gone away and I doubt if we will ever return due to the violence in the city, including even Midtown Manhattan. We would take the train and even that was fun with meeting new people and enjoying the sights along the way.

Last night on one of the PBS channels was the show, "Great Performances." The show presented last evening was Lea Salonga with the Australian Orchestra from either Carnegie Hall or The Lincoln Center. She sang a variety of songs. Lea has probably one of the truly most beautiful voices.

My wife and I saw her perform in New York a few years back and even though I really never enjoyed that type of a concert, I did this one. I doubt if we will ever get there again, but YouTube has some of her concerts on her channel. She absolutely mesmerizes me. Here is a sample:
