Good morning WA2K folks.
edgar, Loved Harry's The Drummer and the Cook! "...bow wow wow?..." funny.
Also enjoyed Forever Young. Didn't know that "the jester" had done that one.
Hey, Brit. Hmmm, couldn't get Susan's sound, nor Caterina's either, but I most certainly know Malaguena and The Breeze and I.
St. Louis Blues came through loud and clear. Don't know Ottilie, but she sure could do the blues.
A great discovery today, y'all. It's Zubin Mehta's birthday. Here is a brief background on him.
Zubin Mehta was born into a Parsi family in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, the son of Mehli and Tehmina Mehta. His father Mehli Mehta was a violinist and founding conductor of the Bombay Symphony Orchestra. Mehta is an alumnus of St. Mary's (ISC) High School, Mazagaon, Mumbai and St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. Zubin initially intended to study medicine, but eventually became a music student in Vienna at the age of 18, under Hans Swarowsky. Also at the same academy along with Zubin were conductor Claudio Abbado and conductor"pianist Daniel Barenboim. Mehta's first marriage was to Canadian soprano Carmen Lasky in 1958. They have a son, Mervon and a daughter, Zarina. In 1964, they divorced. Two years after the divorce, Carmen married Zubin's brother, Zarin Mehta, now the Executive Director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. In July 1969, Mehta married Nancy Kovack, a former American film and television actress.Mehta is a permanent resident of the United States, but retains his Indian citizenship.
A great classic by the man.
