ohhhhhh galuppi baldessare

My cousin’s oldest son is IMing me right now, which is always highly entertaining, simply because he tries to make me believe he is his mom. This time I almost thought it was her, but I quizzed him and badaboom, it’s the little bugger. (I told him he’s not getting any Christmas presents now, lol.)

The Porkchop and I are heading to NYC tomorrow for a few days. He has to work there and I want to shop… :D. Sadly, I also have to work, but it’s the first week of my 2-days-at-home, 3-days-at-work deal and while I’ll work during the day, at night, I shall shop and go to the theatre and eat NYC food. :) :) (Somewhere my sister is very jealous.)

So I shall leave her with some new music I just recently stumbled across…

I heard about Kris Delmhorst on NPR the other night. She has several albums, but her most recent is one where she takes old poems (from the likes of E.E. Cummings and Robert Browning) and sets them to music—and they are lovely.

One of my favorites: Galuppi Baldessare.

Another I heard somewhere I can’t remember, a folk singer named Catherine Feeny. The song I first heard, and one of the ones I love best, is Mr. Blue.

    Have fun in NYC, girl and enjoy yourself shopping. Chinatown is always a great option… or is it too touristic for a national? xD

    Ohhh, I love Galuppi Baldessare, too! I heard the same NPR program, and came right home and ordered the music, and now I listen to it practically non-stop. Isn’t she just the best? And what a cool idea, to have all those poems reawakened!

    Sandi.. absolutely the best. I have the CD on repeat, and I’ve asked for her other CDs for Christmas. :)
