Tonight, the past beckons.
Hence, some wonderful music from Jethro Tull: "We Used To Know", "Reasons For Waiting", "Bouree", and the superb "Living In The Past."

I just found this band by accident.
Rotting Christ - Elthe Kyrie
What a killer track and have since purchased the album. I am really digging them right now.

Great album, and a timeless classic. Terrific choice.
And REM - some terrific stuff form the 90s - followed OMD - great travelling music.
"Very Sweet indeed." I remember liking this tune, and whatever song the Bay City Rollers did that was big.
Morricone's sexiest score (for Danger Diabolik). I much prefer this in Italian...so...
Did I ever mention - of course I did, and you responded - that I love spaghetti westerns, and adore the music of Ennio Morricone?
Great choice.
A belated Christmas present from my brother a year or so ago was a ticket (an excellent ticket) to a live performance by Ennio Morricone on a European Tour; wonderful.
What a great gift! I am sure that was wonderful to hear the maestro conduct those classic songs. His spaghetti western scores are seminal and terrific, but I love his other genre film scores even more. He wrote some beautiful and strange scores for Mario Bava (this one), Elio Petri and Dario Argento.
Yes, it was a great gift, and yes, the concert was flawlessly professional and it was wonderful to hear the maestro himself conduct his own orchestra playing his music. Brilliant.
The previous year - very early in the previous year - when I was working abroad in one of the 'mad' countries where I sometimes work, for months or years at a time, - my brother had instructed me to ensure that I had planned to take leave (he gave me almost a year's notice) on a certain date.
Now, as it transpired, although I faithfully followed his instructions, - and was home on the due date - the concert itself was postponed (Morricone had a health scare) and Brother made certain that I would be around for the re-scheduled date - he had been offered a refund otherwise.
Because I am somewhat short of stature, and wear glasses, good seats are a must whenever I attend the theatre, a concert, or even pay a visit to the cinema; Brother thoughtfully paid a decent fortune to get me a superlative seat - actually, it was a superb present, as he knows that I just love Morricone and his music. Anyway, the concert was fantastic, and I loved every minute.

Claps. That is wonderful, what a cool. surprise. Sounded like a dream.
Yes, it was. A brilliant present; he was delighted that I enjoyed it so much.
Well, as he later told me - the tickets had become suddenly available, and there was a limited window in which to buy them; so, - fingers crossed - he bought one, - having insisted on buying the best available to him - and issued the instruction to me subsequently; "make sure you're back here by the day before this date, get your leave request in now if you have to" (for eleven months time). So, I did.
He hadn't told me it was Morricone, but I googled the city and what concerts and tours were planned ........and got an answer which left me grinning.
Even though it was postponed, it was brilliant.
I told him I'd happily go again - irrespective of cost; anyone who knows me would know that the idea of gifting me a ticket (a good ticket) for a Morricone concert is a sure fire winner.
Well, it was kind of funny to be told early in the year - on a January day - "I've got your Christmas present already, it's a concert, and you'll like it, so be back by this date ".....the original date in question was mid December, as I recall.
As I explained above, the concert was actually postponed, because Morricone fell ill, so I finally got to attend it well over a year after the ticket had been bought.
