I listen to more music
read more even write some
on vacation no matter
where we are and I wonder
if I could live more like this
at home. One of my all-time favorite
songs is here. I am years
behind in music, and only
learned today that the singer
is Anohni now.
Absolutely wonderful still.
(I hope you are all listening
to music. If yes, tell me what.)

What an extraordinary song, which I never heard before. As for listening to music, I always have 88 F.M as background music when I'm at my computer here in Tel Aviv. On the weekends a mixture of songs from the 50s through the 2000s, mainly international, but also Israeli. Right now The Beach Boys., followed by Carol King. But after hearing a presentation about George Gershwin, and watching "Porgy and Bess" for the first time, I revisited Nina Simone's beautiful version of "I Love's You Porgy", and finally understood the context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq5A0YadWKs And followed that with another Gershwin song by one of my favorite Dop Wop groups, The Flamingos from when I graduated from high school, "But Not For Me": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-6cAajBURw
