Mahler - Quartet for piano and strings in A minor
Just beautiful...

My first Apple device was a nano. Not the current one but the more square one.
It still sits in my daughters bedroom but hasn't been used in years.

As a historian I think you might have missed some more important inventions!
The internal combustion engine.
Electricity
And most importantly the corkscrew/bottle opener!
That is a beautiful device.
At present, I am listening to some Paraguayan music that a friend sent me.

Well, I'd argue for flushing toilets, - yes, agree about the corkscrew/bottle opener (can't imagine how that one slipped my mind), electricity - I'll also readily concede.......
Flushing toilets. I'd further expand to inside flushing toilets!
Back on topic then.
Last thing I listened to was apparently
P!nk Just like a Pill
I still love my ancient 2nd gen nanos and they all still work! I use them in an equally ancient car that has no CD player so I pick a nano out of a jar on top the microwave on my way out of the house, stick a 30-pin FM transmitter adapter in it and I have music to drive by! I switch up the music on them now and then and usually just put all from one genre on each nano. I never remember which color nano I put which genre on so it's just a surprise when I hit play on a run into town. I'm also fond of the 6th and 7th gen nano with the FM radio on them, they get clipped onto my shirt or carted around in my handbag, respectively, and both have got a lot of use and held up really well too. The 2nd, 6th and 7th gen nanos have been my favorites. I am sorry they discontinued them really...
Meanwhile I just spent hours setting up and checking out my aforementioned Pad Pro as "new" rather than bringing stuff over from previous iPad. Clean sweep, clean start. Lots of work but worth it to me and fun too, I get to paw through all my movies and music and figure anew what I want to have on there. While working on that project I was listening mostly to Angela Hewitt playing JS Bach, partitas and all the the preludes and fugues as well. Here she plays the BWV 887 Prelude and Fugue in G# minor, a devilish key and a pair of tricky works to play because of the double sharps here and there, stuff that my brain still balks at translating on the fly...

A side of Irish music you are unlikely to be aware of outside of Ireland. A song for suicide and mental health awareness charities.

Terry Callier and Beth Orton singing "Dolphins" by Fred Neil ("Everybody's Talkin')
This old world may never change
The way it’s been
And all the ways of war
Can’t change it back again
I’ve been searchin’
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
I’m not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know the peace will come
When all hate is gone
I’ve been searchin’
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
You know sometimes I think about
Saturday’s child
And all about the time
When we were running wild
I’ve been searchin’
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
This old world may never change
This world may never change
This world may never change
The way it’s been
And all the ways of war
Can’t change it back again
I’ve been searchin’
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
I’m not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know the peace will come
When all hate is gone
I’ve been searchin’
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
You know sometimes I think about
Saturday’s child
And all about the time
When we were running wild
I’ve been searchin’
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
This old world may never change
This world may never change
This world may never change

Can’t give enough thumbs up for Sam Cooke and that song!
Always reminds me of that scene in Malcolm X when Denzel is on his way to that church knowing that “A change is gonna come...”
Song gets me right in the feels every time!
