What are YOU listening to in 2025 ?

Here's the women's barbershop chorus my wife is in competing in the Sweet Adelines International competition. They came in 8th in the world. I'm starting at their second song but you can go to the beginning if you want to also hear their version of Benny and the Jets. Their package was a tribute to Elton John. If you keep watching the video past the end of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road my wife upcycled thrift store jackets to make the Elton John inspired jackets they're wearing. She made 82 of them but only 81 people are on stage for the performance.

Beginning my day with one of my favorite Violinists of Irish heritage, from Chicago.
I got to meet her at an outdoor venue and she helped me learn a riff I was stuck on
when I was taking lessons.

Gorgeous! I loved it. Thanks for sharing that. I'll definitely be checking out some of her albums in the future.
 
I downloaded this to listen to at the dentist yesterday, but I forgot to upload it to my phone. DOH!


Their greatest album, IMO.
 

Itzhak Perlman, world famous classical violinist (whom I adore and loved attending his concerts)
taking some time to have a bit a fun with John Denver doing some Fiddle playing.
Perlman was stricken when he was young with polio and lost the use of his legs. The violin was his saving grace
for a fulfilling life.
I sat watching him struggle on arms braces to enter the stage and climb 2 steps to his chair. He sat down and
promptly told a joke to make us feel at ease and enjoy his personality and not think about what we had just viewed.

He built a school for disadvantaged children to learn violin and help them have a purpose. He was such a giving man.
To watch him play was always magical, enjoyable and when he does those sad gypsy songs, tears would just roll how
he made that violin sing the sadness of them.

Here is a video of him having fun, and just being Itzhak.
