I have eclectic taste in music, I like a little of almost everything. I try not to take any of it too seriously, if it soothes or excites me, I probably like it. Like strong instrumentals, strong vocals that don't sound like tortured cats, solos, and orchestras. These are difficult times for musicians, venues have been closed or restricted. Streaming makes music cheap and accessible, but pays very little to the people who create it. If you enjoy the street musician, drop in their case what you can afford, this guy was really good. Babara has missing recording the past couple of years, so she dug through the previously unreleased recordings including this duet that was done for a television show, that finally made it onto the album released a few month ago. I bought it on CD.
I, too, love all kinds of music, and always have it playing. And I love a good street musician. I think it takes balls to stand out there and perform, so I always drop some money in the guitar case, or what have you, for them..
ReplyDeleteHe was good. There is one street musician in the district, that if I won the powerball, I would pay to NEVER play on the street again.
DeleteI also have very eclectic tastes in music. And I love good street musicians; we’ve had a dearth of those -- the good ones, I mean. Our Spanish accordion player is back; he always starts his set with “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.” And I LOVE Kermit the Frog -- although this song is still too sappy for me.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up out beyond PBS, I didn't discover Kermit until I was adult.

ReplyDeleteHope to hear from you again
DeleteA duet with Kermit the Frog -- the highlight of Babs' career, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteAnd it was good, some would say he has the better voice
DeleteI like a man with eclectic tastes in music; you can trust them.
ReplyDeleteTrustworthy is high praise
DeleteI forgot about that song and it made me smile this morning.
ReplyDeleteMission accomplished
DeleteI love Barbra Streisand and Kermit the frog. I've never liked this song, though.
ReplyDeleteThey should do more
