It's hard for me to imagine some of your examples without the meoldy they are sung to. So I would say it depends. I know a lot of excellent poetry that could not be sung. In classical music, composers chose the song lyrics according to their potential as songs. But these were not written with that in mind, which may be the main distinction to song/sung lyrics.

I wonder what Erroll thought about this cover .....

The weekend bottle: Château Pech-Céleyran 2022 LA CLAPE, APPELLATION D'ORIGINE CONTRÔLÉE

Count me in!

I will find the time to listen only tomorrow - I won't peek.

Where did you get this? Me want! Seeing that Monterey performance on TV was a key moment in my musical lfe! No copies for sale on discogs.

Agreed. It was so nice to have a series of CDs which heavily featured percussionists.

So far today:

Pic from a surprise family meeting a week ago. We were invited by a friend who had just moved to Lübeck, and my wife secretly arranged that my daughter showed up to congratulate me for my 70th birthday. My daughter in the center, where she belongs, with the two most important men in her life at her sides, me and her husband to be, her mother on the left and my wife on the right. She is blessed to have two mothers now.

Oh yeah!

I will be back home later today to download.

In Opera browser it works, and better than before.

Link, please. I intended to listen during the train ride today ..... there still is the ride back home next week.

I just tried to access Thom Keith's page to download the BFT but received an error message. Anybody else with that problem?
