"La Violetera", composed by José Padilla in 1914

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-P3ckfAL9U

Most famously used in Chaplin's film "City Lights" (1931)

I suppose the question is "Is she or isn't she...?" (^_-)

I think the answer is "No, she's not wearing any underwear."

Not that it really matters... (^_-)

Enjoy the music [cough].

I began the day listening to Tchaikovsky through this Best Of compilation. It's amazing how many massive "hits" he had!

Then I later listened to my favourite Iron Maiden album: Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Goes really well with DIY jobs.

I have been using my new speaker - I ended up getting the Klipsch Nashville recommended by mdss68 earlier in the thread. It is excellent, so thank you! It was between that and the sonos recommended by Raj, but the Klipsch won on cost, aesthetics (it has a vintage look that suits my lounge), and that I only need Bluetooth rather than all the WiFi stuff like Alexa and so on which I don't have.

The sound is great and is just what I was after: https://www.amazon.co.uk...;psc=1&gad_source=1

Looks like it has been reduced further in price so even more recommended from me!

Samuel Barber - "Agnus Dei"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LYnNEALm6o

a version of his famous "Adagio for Strings", which Barber used for his setting of the Catholic Mass in 1968.

Sung by the incomparable VOCES8...

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.
