11/7 Polyrhythm Addicts 1999 Rhythm Related spotify

11/8 Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) watch by Charismatic Voice YouTube. I watched a lot of her videos, but haven't watched her recently, but thought it would be lovely to see her comments on singing. I love the Rocky Horror Picture show. This video is 3 hours and 15 minutes. 

Elizabeth Zharoff was an opera singer who didn't listen to any popular music growing up, and goes over popular music like she's never heard it, and she discusses the vocal aspect, and reminisces about her career, she's chosen to raise children, and this is second career. 

In high school I went to the midnight showings of Rocky Horror several times, and I love this musical, I think it's my favorite musical. 

She talks about studying men's movements to play pants roles, and she's quite jealous how Tim Curry moves. "Why do I love this performance so much?!"

Alice Coltrane

There was a moment when I was reading a lot about Alice Coltrane and I was surprised to look back and not see I'd written about her on my music blog. I did quote the beginning of a book on her on another blog : Portrait of Devotion: The spiritual life of Alice Coltrane by Shankari C. Adams The introduction starts: “It was August 1975; a group of us had gone to a music hall in Northern California to hear Alice Coltrane perform in concert. Certain recreational activities, such as drinking and smoking, had been banned from the evening venue. This allowed for a higher vibrational energy to fill the room’s atmosphere. It felt clean and clear. Subsequently, the consciousness of those present felt elevated. The audience was seated and filled with joyful expectation.” I have two friends who are really into hallucinogens and I feel I get high enough meditating a lot.  I read about this album where she's just singing devotionally: Kirtan: Turiya Sings ( spotify ). Today I'm listenin...
