The story is that I bought my first record player in the mid '70's and the Thijs van Leer record called Introspection was one of the first vinyl records I bought. At that time I lived in a shared house with a few of my student friends. It was an old weatherboard house with a big garden in a lovely suburb. I have a clear memory of sitting in the lounge room, reading a book and listening to that album. A lovely peaceful memory. About 20 years later I bought the house, and later Hubby & I married and he moved in and we are still here. Note: we have a brick house here now but the old house brings back some memories for me including waking up in September 2001 and watching the 9-11 twin towers news reports on TV.
A couple of my other choices are by Bobby McFerrin: Faure's Pavane (which Thijs van Leer also plays beautifully) and Vivaldi's cello concerto Largo. Note: I'll have to research the full name of the concerto.
Yeah, I know. Some people laugh at Bobby McFerrin's song Don't Worry, Be Happy, but I saw a fantastic TV show called What is Music and McFerrin was a feature artist conducting classical music while singing his beautiful wordless accompaniments so I bought his CD called Paper Music. Beautiful!
