What are you listening to right now?

Back in the summer of 2007 we went to Blenheim Palace with some friends to see Battle of the Proms - a fantastic night. We were sat quite a distance from the stage when a blind opera singer, Denise Leigh, was introduced. She started singing and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, I was amazed. I promptly left the wife and friends to get a closer look and to hear clearer - what an amazing experience.
She sang Song to the Moon by Dvorak, and I'll never forget it - I've always loved live music but this sort of stuff is not my normal cup of musical tea.

Here she is on stage........

Here's the song sung by Anna Netrebko.......

A (mostly) great list of music - sounds of my child and early adulthood.

I am always aware that I am Very fortunate to be the first (eldest male) member of my family in 5 generations to not have to fight in a proper war. However i grew up surrounded by WW 1, WW2 & Korean War veterans - in my teens I met and socialised with a few holocaust survivors children.

In my late teens I lived amongst people whose earliest (& recent) memories were of guerilla war, raids on their farms, seeing family members killed/maimed by war and learning to load magazines at age 2/3 fight back by 5-6 etc. I never take war for granted (But hey the soundtrack is GREAT :singer:)

(Wow I dunno where that came from. but maybe just a memory of my youth started by the list of music and vids - It's also a way of me saying I respect what everyone in a war goes through regardless of side or politics etc.)
