I picked up a flight for £100 the month following 9/11 when nobody wanted to fly. Wonderful, very different and interesting trip.
I got to see the Buena Vista Social Club band at Warwick University. They were a phenomenon responsible for much growth in tourism in Cuba. Must revisit sometime.
This is a wonderful film - trailer here
For the lovers of classical music (as I am myself) heres a bit of a fusion…
one more version…
Something to set the feet tapping … Django Reinhardt. Minor Swing

And I still prefer the original Beatles version. But I do like Prince’s playing on it.
Django was an incredible plyer. And it’s amazing that he was able to relearn to play guitar after losing the use of the fourth and fifth fingers of his left hand, which were severely burned in a fire. This is the only video I’ve ever seen of him playing.
Lovely cover (gypsy flamenco-ish style) of Aznavour’s classic La Bohème by Dordogne-born & bred Kendji Girac.
I’ve had this earworm in my head all day… Nancy Sinatra’s rendition of Bang Bang, fab cover.
My earworm since Saturday has been The Messiah
