Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>Musical Interlude: Richard Thompson's album "you? me? us?" was an interesting experiment; two discs, one fully electric, one stripped-down acoustic, featuring some of the same songs. I would have preferred the exact same playlist, electric and acoustic, to compare and contrast, but one can't have everything. This track from the Electric disc, of a man confronting his sweetie's mixed signals, is a bit of fun.</p><p>"Am I Wasting My Love on You?" performed by Richard Thompson.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew6J8aVvS08" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=Ew6J8aVvS08</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MusicalInterlude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicalInterlude</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RichardThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RichardThompson</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/YouMeUs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YouMeUs</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Rock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rock</span></a></p>

Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>Musical Interlude: I was listening to some silly jazz music on my road trip, and this came up in the mix. I don't know what it is about this piece that sticks in me...it sounds like a good tune for go-go dancing, and the repeated "Hold it, Mary!" makes no sense, but the tune gets under my skin.

Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>Musical Interlude: My AirBNB is a tiny house deep in the country, where my sweetie and I sat on the porch watching the sun set and the fireflies rise in silence broken only by birdsong, babbling water, and the occasional plane.

Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>Musical Interlude: I was today years old when I learned about Joseph Bologne (1745-1799). A biracial man, fathered by a white planter on an enslaved Creole woman, in the French colony of Guadaloupe, he was educated in France, where he flourished and became a noted violinist, composer, and conductor, becoming the first composer of African ancestry to win acclaim in the European classical music world. He's sometimes referred to as "the black Mozart" but that's kind of limiting, I think, and he deserves to be viewed in his own light.</p><p>He was also an expert fencer, a dashing swordsman, a soldier (winning the title "Chevalier de Saint-Georges") and apparently cut quite a dash amongst Parisian society ladies of the time. Quite a vivid character who deserves to be better known. Here's one of his compositions.</p><p>"Symphony Concertante for 2 Violins," composed by Joseph Bologne, performed by the Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq5FHbGGJLk" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=qq5FHbGGJL</span><span class="invisible">k</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MusicalInterlude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicalInterlude</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ClassicalMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClassicalMusic</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/JosephBologne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JosephBologne</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ChevalierDeSaintGeorges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChevalierDeSaintGeorges</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Baroque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Baroque</span></a></p>
