A LITTLE WEEKEND MUSIC

Perhaps it was some sort of harmonic convergence, but I've encountered during the last 24 hours some of the most... breathtaking music. Is that the right word, breathtaking?

Nevermind. It is what it is.

And for that, I am thankful to my friend Greg, who sends along this link, which takes you to a blog that offers the musical stylings of Sandra Prill, a Tampa public access star from the mid-1980s.

Greg's brother Eric writes at the site:

Sondra was the star of the imaginatively titled "My Show". (Hey, Charlie Chaplin wrote a book called "My Autobiography" and he was a genius, so maybe we should cut her some slack.) In its three installments aired over the course of several years, "My Show" provided a showcase for Sondra's ever-evolving range of things at which she tried to be talented.

Key word here: tried.

Anyway, you owe yourself a three-song block of Sandy's work. I don't want to say she's off-key, but she hit a frequency on one note during her rendition of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" that beached an entire pod of pilot whales in New Zealand.
