Thread Name: what's the worst song you ever heard?3
Subject: RE: Coltraine's Favorite Things
Coltraine's Favorite Things is so very, very terrific, indeed. It was the first thing I heard by him and it absolutely blew my mind. He had such a refreshingly different concept of tone, and what better place to hear it put forth than in that sing-songy setting. Truly... I found myself crying real tears, and it was not at an emotionally frail time at all. I can't think of another time when something moved me in such an immediate blast. I was a teenager at the time, and not at all easy to impress. What a great thing to be brought on this site. Who says that folkies don't have open ears! Long live Coltraine and others like him!!!
