“Linda and her sister Olivia Arias, who later became Mrs. George Harrison, were friends of ours and they turned our record on to George. George loved the record and he came to a place called the Topanga Corral to hear us perform. He said he loved our songs and loved our energy and he pretty much signed us on the spot.” - Michael Manning, Music and Art Interviews, March 12, 2013 “[Jiva are] just two guitars, bass, and drums. Three of them — the two guitarists and the bass player — all write their own tunes. They sing separately and together, but they’re very up. They’re like a little R&B/rock band. Very nice, very positive. That’s the great thing about them, is they’re positive. You know, I mean, at this time in world history when there’s so much sort of negative and confusion, they’re really… they know where *they’re* going. And full of love and up, positive, loving awareness. And they’re pretty funky too. You know, they’re young, and it’s like, I think this will be the first album they’re making with a guy, a producer called Stuart Levin who has just done the Minnie Ripperton second album, and he’s the producer of The Crusaders. That’s quite interesting. In fact they just start tonight to record.” - George Harrison, radio interview, 1975 (x)

Puzzling Beatles

From George's songs we often can't say if he's singing about God or Pattie/Olivia.

From John's songs we often can't say if he's singing about Yoko or Paul.

From Paul's songs we often can't say if he's singing about Linda or John.

And from Ringo's song we often can't say if it's 🥁 or 🥁

This 150 years old poster show us a performance in Vienna with the great Diva Adelina Patti (1843-1919) in Donizetti‘s Opera „Linda di Chamounix“. In the cast you can also find the Tenor Ernesto Nicolini. He was later one of her husbands. The conductor was the Composer Luigi Arditi .

the character graveyard — a creator's lament

a wall of snow keeps you hidden, it's true.

my hands tainted. I buried you all myself.

some of you live, just barely, breathing through a straw in your graves. an illusion of existence.

some of you never had the chance. your lives extinguished before you could fully form.

massacre.

your god has not forsaken you, I plead.

though I am god and she is merciless. by circumstance, not design.

I come to acknowledge you. you forgotten ones, the ones I hid, the ones who died by my hand and the ones who fizzled from existence before I could reach them. I gather you here today. to recognise you. mourn you. immortalise you.

I raise my chalice to each of you.

here's to the faceless ones. the ones I never named. the ones who had nothing but a name. a vibe. a role. a disembodied something. you hadn't enough love or care. I'm sorry.

here's to the fleeting ones. ones who existed in passing. to assist another's narrative. to enhance the world.

here's to the ones I invested my time in, who I write one or two prose pieces and umpteen handfuls of rambles for, only to leave you by the wayside to crumble to dust.

vivian edwards, lucille matton, luciana lanese, alaric joseph drover, alexander wickerman, jinx the kea, hamid, sahar.

here's to my future creations, who may inevitably fall under one of these categories.

the wall of snow may keep you hidden. but I promise, you'll never be forgotten.

[opera-ghosts]

OTD in Music History: Great “bel canto” Italian opera composer Gaetano Donizetti (1797 – 1848) dies of tertiary syphilis in an asylum in Bergamo. A prolific “transitional” composer whose numerous operas – written in both Italian and French – are illustrative of the substantial musical evolution that took place in opera between Gioachino Rossini (1792 – 1868) and Guiseppe Verdi (1813 – 1901), several of Donizetti’s later works still continue to hold the stage, including “L’elisir d’amore” (1832), “Lucia di Lammermoor” (1835), and “Don Pasquale” (1843). Donizetti actually scored his first success with “Enrico di Borgogna” (1818), and during the next 12 years he cranked out more than 30 operas – although most of them were merely local hits in Italy and have long been forgotten. In 1830, "Anna Bolena” made his name across Europe, and two years later he scored a truly lasting success with “L’elisir d’amore.” Like Rossini and Vincenzo Bellini (1801 - 1835) before him, Donizetti eventually left Italy for Paris, where he began to successfully exploit the “French grand opera” model (which was essentially the 19th Century's versio of a Las Vegas show). By the early 1840s, however, Donizetti was well in the grip of the advanced syphilitic infection that would eventually kill him. He produced his last important opera, “Dom Sébastien” (1843), under the strain of near-constant headaches and occasional lapses of mental capacity; his final years were a sad story of mental and physical degeneration as he was confined to a series of asylums. Extremely popular during his own lifetime, after his premature death, Donizetti’s operas were almost entirely eclipsed by the later masterpieces of Verdi and Giacomo Puccini (1858 - 1924); it was only in the latter half of the 20th Century that the “bel canto” revival brought about the renewed interest in his work that continues to this day. PICTURED: A short undated (but c. 1840s) note regarding musical matters addressed by Donizetti to a “Monsieur Duclos,” who was affiliated with the famous Parisian “Theater-Italien” (the primary opera house that produced Italian opera within the city at that time).

Any music related books? Like band, musical or anything. Preferably with bi mc please

Sure, there's this whole section in Romance on the site posted below, and I'd also really highly recommend It Goes Like This by Miel Moreland (which does have a bi MC among the cast) and mention the new K-PoP thriller Gorgeous Gruesome Faces by Linda Cheng. There are also three country music YAs to have on your radar: A Little Bit Country by Brian D. Kennedy, The Last Love Song by Kalie Holford, and Every Time You Hear That Song by Jenna Voris (bi protag) - the latter two come out in April. Oh, and I also recommend Phil Stamper's As Far As You'll Take Me, which stars an oboe player.

As for these, more probably have bi protags than what I marked with Bs, but at least those certainly do.
