Just saw a most amazing concert last night at the Basement in Sydney, Australia. Lily Dior was launching her new CD and what a show she put on! She had a stellar bunch of musicians backing her and some dynamite original songs with fabulous arrangements, including some with a string quartet. All in all it was a blast and it was great to see how her voice has developed so dramatically over the years. She can croon, she can soothe, she can belt she summon the manning of the barricades! She has definitely found the strengths that lay within her and has fully brought these out in a dynamic voice. Cannot wait to listen to her new CD featured on her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/diorlilymusic, Let's Talk About It. It's bound to be a very powerful CD.

I have always had a very eclectic outlook where music is concerned and thus over the years I have listened to many and varied pieces of music and collected vast amounts of cds over the years. I did have a fairly large vinyl collection but lack of space determined that it had to vanish and so it did. Anyway, my taste in music covers a vast field and there are just some categories of music that I will always have trouble with and so they will never feature in my my rantings and ravings. And, yes, my ravings will rant and my rants will rave. My problem is where to start and therefore I am going to go with the old tried and tested Desert Island Pick. Which is a means to try and determine what music I really really love and if push came to shove and I was only left with 10 cds on an island, which would I choose. And of course this is ignoring whether there is a means to actually play them!
So now you just have to wait a few days hopefully and I will start with the next instalment...
