I'm taking a trip with cousins. We differ on politics. I'm bringing a few cds.

I'm supposing they have a cd player and don't understand italian. I don't much either but I've looked up some bizarro lyrics.

Still, I like travelling music, including symphonies, opera, and much else, though mostly blues.

And my first choice to bring is one almost no one here will know -
(maybe Francis and Fbaezer, and the guy from Rome whose name I'm forgetting this minute, starts with R - I'll be back with that, he's been helpful to me and I like him).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabrizio_De_André

mi innavoravo di tutto

The recording that gets me ---

coda di lupo
I could play it forever.

As I remember that first particular piece, it's flakey, as is much else, at least in translation, but de Andre had an emotional stance.

Should I do that to my cousins...
when I could give them Mendelssohn..

Given I bring this one, the others may be innocuous.


Still it's an amusing idea, talk via cds in a cramped space.

So, from the response so far, I go with Mendelssohn...

Anything would be good, so long as it's in a language they don't understand.

They might have some german vocabulary...

I think myself that de Andre is wrong for this situation. though he slows down and gets attentive in later tracts. (His voice gets me, not so obvious on that video - never mind politics). I can give them Puccini and Verdi (they like classical music, go to concerts)...

We'll see. I'll check some of my cds. Gawd knows what they actually like.

I'll back off, as I'd like de Andre on the road, depending on the road, but I'm odd. I like a lot of italian music. I don't want to excruciate my cousins.
Much.

The simple truth is, most people don't like other people's music.

When do you leave, by the way?

Thinking... the 29th.

I agree with you on that, about other people's music.

Hey, if you want to come and meet them, maybe. I don't want to be neg, they are people who mean a lot to me, however I snotpost - we have history in that cousin husband was a john birtcher. And, worse, I like this man.

But I'm not sure how it could work, re connecting, as there is this schedule.

Damn, Roger, I don't know. If you got here, we could do this stuff together. The atomic museum is first on the list for Monday. It was my idea, but they really liked it.

Nice, osso.

I like it.

If I was taking the trip with you I'd be perfectly happy if you played this a few times. Smile

I'm not sure I promote your drive to here, my cousins have a schedule, including madrid, taos, santa fe, and so on.
A single lunch, I'd be all for it.

Thanks, msolga.

He was a problematic person but I liked him. And so did many other people.

Long lost on my saved photos or article that crashed was a piece on the funeral of de Andre. Anyway, people liked him.

Roger's a keeper. We beg to differ on occasion.

Sounds good, but when I will be in Albuquerque is kind of up in the air, right now. So complicated, I better PM.

This is the first I've heard of him (from you), osso. And I do like that song. It might sooth your cousins & they might refrain from sharing their political views with you, you never know! Smile

Are you a wee bit apprehensive about this trip?

I never actually JOINED the John Birch Society,
tho I had friends in it and I was very much in sympathy with it,
during the Third World War, but I loved arguing politics.
I started spouting when I was 13 and have never shut up since.

Its FUN, tho admittedly: that is according to taste.

But this is not always the case!

For example, I just enjoyed osso's music. Very Happy

The John Birch Society had exactly ONE single, individual issue, to wit:
communist imperialism.

Like the fascists and the nazis: the commies have collapsed and ended.

That 's over now.

There is nothing left to say on that point.
