Raye… Oscar Winning Tears (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)

 

For many years Saturday Night Live had entered a trough that made it less than must watch TV.  Aside from that, over much of its history the music acts were far from my favorite part of the show.

This season seems to be a different story with the artists they are bringing on. I saw this young lady (same age as my oldest granddaughter) , Raye, on SNL and  enjoyed it  sufficiently enough to buy her CD 21st Century Blues, even though it is a little different than what I usually listen to. But then Señora and I both describe our musical taste as eclectic.  Raye mixes many genre and makes them all work together wonderfully.

This is one heck of a production, but my favorite part was her reaction at the end when she realized she and this huge orchestra and chorus had absolutely nailed the performance.

As mentioned in my post, My Musical Roots?, a while back I put Señora’s and mine combined CD collection (600) on a home server, and I am using media server software, Emby, to feed the collection to our various wi-fi devices around the house. The software tagged our collection with 72 different genre.  Eclectic, indeed.
