Guitka (Yasmin Williams)
Staying musical this week, thanks to Reader J. Yasmin Williams is a guitar prodigy in the style of Michael Hedges and Billy McLaughlin. In addition to ► GuitKa (guitar + kalimba) as seen above, Williams also ► brings in a cello bow with beautiful results. Listen also: ► “Restless Heart”…WOW.
Michelle Kwan’s “Sweet Child ‘O Mine”
A conversation last night reminded me that I am unrepentant about (most of) my 80s rock listening…then and now. Michelle Kwan’s cover of “Sweet Child o’Mine” on a guzheng nails not just the iconic song, but one of the era’s best solos. Also: a worthy cover by bluegrass musicians Thunder and Rain & Postmodern Jukebox doin’ it New Orleans style & Scary Pockets makin’ it funky & a wistful version by Taken by Trees.
The Bookbinder’s Daughter
“There are 800,000 unmarked graves in Glasnevin Cemetery. This is the story of one.” → ► The Bookbinder’s Daughter
Thich Nhat Hanh on Compassionate Listening
“…deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of the other person. You can call it compassionate listening. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart. And if you remember that you are helping him or her to suffer less, then even if they say things full of wrong perception, full of bitterness, you are still capable of continuing to listen with compassion.” → Thich Nhat Hanh on Compassionate Listening.
Vulfpeck
Spotify dropped ► “Animal Spirits” into my Discover Weekly list this week (ironically, it turns out) and it brought me some (vaguely Jackson 5 style) joy. Tune in and turn it up. Some other Vulfpeck favorites: ► “Dean Town” (that bass player crushes it!) & ► “Cory Wong” with its clever “script-over” style. They are just so fun to watch and listen to.
The Life of Death
► The Life of Death is the story of “the day Death fell in love with Life.”
