Oh my gosh, I love Danny Kaye! It's so sad to me that he's been largely forgotten by so many. The Inspector General and The Court Jester are both brilliant.

(Also muppets. )

I love that!! I also love Muppets oh my goodness but Broadway is my ultimate favorite. (Have you listened to anything from Newsies, Tuck Everlasting or Hairspray?) What are your favorite musical soundtracks?

Did you know that Danny Kaye had his own radio show in the late-1940s?

That was fun, thanks!

Currently listening to ABBA's Voyage, the band's first studio album since 1982.

I'm an ABBA's big fan.

Oh! New album!!

You all have to listen to more classical music!
I don't see enough classical stuff mentioned in all of the ten pages of this thread
Here are some good ones that I love:
Strauss jr: best waltzes: https://youtu.be/pdrzg3fZ1xo
Saint-Saens 5th Piano Concerto, the "Egyptian" (the last movement is THE BEST!) https://youtu.be/mkBOZKt7OcY
Tchaikovsky Slavonic March: https://youtu.be/F0sgKCetlb8
Beethoven's fifth Symphony: https://youtu.be/msolhqi-PC0
Beethoven's Seventh Symphony (his absolute best!) https://youtu.be/perfwcyj9Ew
Strauss Bauern Polka https://youtu.be/WKU2uQpU9Lo
Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5 https://youtu.be/bkyxV5WiRhM
Weber's Grand Duo Concertant: https://youtu.be/eJ9Z10MsRLc
I have much more! Way more than that
Let's see if you all like it better than that other stuff that's been mentioned in the thread

Christmas Peace CD1 (Elvis Presley)

While proof-listening an eighteenth century book just now I came across a reference to a famous eighteenth century prize fighter who was the ancestor of an even more famous twentieth century actor.

Here is a nice send up of both the snooty BBC interviewer and Tommy Steele, the first English rock and roll star. You will recognise The Trumpet Voluntary:

My 3 CD set of Bach that I bought 2 years ago with a book voucher. I had forgotten about it. Yesterday I cut the plastic off the box and booted up CD 1...

Ooh, Bach is AMAZING! You've got good taste.

These times I listen mostly to my own recordings, trying to mix together different jaw harps, which I play. It promises to be a very long practice, for I`m only learning to play that instrument. One of the things to encourage me is that I hear nowhere the music I like to play on it.

My great revelation the past year has been Yusufina X, Eleeza Galilei; I simply fell in love with her "La Generale".
I also like rock and nowadays energetic classical music.

Have a great 2022!

I could play the trumpet. When I was a kid, I belonged to the school marching band. (It promises to be a very long practice.) I won a prize in the all Japan national competition for kids. (Off corse, as a team member.) So, I love Louis Armstrong and his music, a march, and a brass. (I haven't been able to read a music score still now!)

I'm a busy man because I'm a needy. I have enough time for listen the music. The time I have is for the music with English lyrics as my English pracrtice.

Yes, I can do a practice!!
