Anybody watch the Grammys tonight?

The NY Times called SPCO" the best ensemble of it’s kind in the USA" .
Steve is a great musician, there are also at least 5 other string players that, at least in sound, are every bit as good .
The Principal Viola player is out of this world , a Korean tiger.
After the great Gil Slaham finished the Mendelssohn few years ago he pivoted like a top.  ran to her and shook both her hands like a pump .

No joke, The Ordway Hall in St. Paul has best acoustics in USA .

Are you ready for K-Pop? You’re gonna luv it! And The Spice Girls are reuniting. Oh, my!

This year I turned the TV volume off and put the Tidal 1968 playlist on and enjoyed the pictures while reading Stereophile. Works out well--

Spice Girls reuniting!   Big news indeed!!!👌👌👌

Wow, we are a generous bunch.  Bruno Mars is pure fun - perfect for night club, auditorium or Super Bowl.  Great music?  No.  Fodder for an audiophile listening session?  Probably not.  But a lot of fun.  If anything, hip hop, which is where some of the most creativity in modern music has been coming from for years was clearly under appreciated by the industry at the awards.

I suppose most of those posting here were not big Buffalo Springfield/Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Byrds, Bob Dylan or John Lennon fans in the 1960s?  Band of Gypsys Machine Gun anyone?   For those of you who missed this year’s Grammys and who may still have an ear for current music trends and events, Kendrick Lamar’s performance to kick it off was attention getting and thought provoking.

For those of you who lament missed opportunities and “what were they thinking” grammy choices, read this.  Given most of the commentary above, I somehow think this review should have gone back much further:
