For those that can read my Facebook posts, this will be a repeat. I’m just pasting it here verbatim:
OMG. I’m listening to the Light Classical station and the song they’re playing is the song my washer and dryer play when they’re done! Liszt “Die Forelle/The Trout.” I was sitting here thinking ‘that sounds so familiar …’ That is so hilarious! Who knew?
I just couldn’t get over that! And if you’re wondering what the tune is, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjJrM36w9RM
Anyway, I’ve heard a couple of outstanding and brand new to me songs that aren’t new at all.
First is ‘Continental Drift’ by the Rolling Stones. Wow! Take a listen when you have time to just sit and listen – don’t listen if you’re going to be distracted:

Here’s more info about the song. The harmonies are so cool!
In 1989, The Rolling Stones went to Tangier, Morocco for 3 days to record this song with the Master Musicians of Jajouka led by Bachir Attar for the Stones’ album Steel Wheels. After the recording sessions, Mick Jagger visited the village of Jajouka, which Brian Jones had visited in 1968. This song marked a return to the world music The Stones experimented with in the ’60s.
The squeal at the beginning is Keith Richards scraping a knife against a bicycle wheel.
Second is ‘Daydream’ by Robin Trower. Wow again! Again, listen when you’re not going to be distracted.
That’s all for now people!
