I just found a wonderful article about full recordings of operas! This should help me in my search for decent materials to listen to. But these are only commercial recordings, so I will need to look elsewhere for radio ones as well as recordings that were preserved by listeners. At any rate, I was surprised by how many singers' names I recognised, all from the 1940's and earlier, of course. But there were still a good number that I didn't know and must, therefore, research. I was also surprised that Enrico Caruso appears not to have made any full-length recordings, or even large sections of a single opera. Also, Dino Borgioli wasn't mentioned, and I know he made at least two sets, that, while weren't complete, were extensive.

The Assembly Hall, in the Red Cross Chambers, was well filled when the #gramophone recital given by Mr. Ryan, in aid of the funds of the Junior Red Cross, was held. The programme contained items of special interest to music lovers. At the conclusion of the recital verbal and written suggestions were handed m regarding several special items which will be included in future programmes. The next recital will be held on 17th March next. During the evening Miss Wilkinson had control of the instrument, which is electrical, and which was kindly lent by Mr. Ernest Dawson for the occasion.

A young friend—in fact the haver of Pepper the oft-written-about borrowed dog—has asked that I give her my record collection when I want to get rid of it.

I hope she fully appreciates the inconvenience of vinyl records.

They're heavy, bulky, and fiddly to take care of and play.

BUT — they're lovely to hold, to watch going around on the turntable, and the cover art is worth the trouble, if you like that kinda thing.

If I'm reading this right, "Tulip" is the CEO of "Outta Wax" in south Minneapolis.

"Most of all, they want to make sure that vinyl records are here to stay. Whether you got invested by a Taylor Swift limited edition vinyl, a family member’s passed down collection or the number one selling record of all time, Stillman and Pette want you to keep listening."

Justin Johnson is unquestionably one of the better #blues guitarists picking today. Strictly an instrumental player, he has been working his way through the blues repertoire interpreting each with passion and polish.

Justin has no credited work with others, just his solo instrumental recordings and YouTube performance videos.

His #recordings, both audio and video have a polish and warmth from recording in a nice reverberant space appropriate to electric guitar performances. #music

Chile's Bahía Mansa is a reliable source of quality ambient music. On his new LP his love of nature shines through. You can almost feel the first rays of a sun blessed summer day coming over a Patagonian hill, ushering the morning dew into the atmosphere, encouraging the summer blooms & gently rousing the local fauna from their slumber. It's a lovely listen.

Looking out over the terracotta tiled rooftops of a sleepy Portuguese city enjoying a public holiday lie in, surrounded by the early morning blue skies of what promises be a fine summer day, & the distant sound of swallows & seagulls augmenting David Cordero's sleepy soundtrack through the partially open windows, all seems right with the world.
