i reember well the concert in Sydney where Al di Meola shared the stage with John McLaughlin and Paco Pena. That was nearly 30 years ago.
What a performance!
kind regards,

Nice. I've seen videos of some of the shows that they did. It almost overload when those three are together.

This is the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. It's worth to listen to it in a good sound system. RIP, Monserrat Figueras.

The "music" is an aural assault so caustic that it could probably wake the dead.

Just mute your speakers and just watch...

Interesting. I didn't know that was how she died.

TEARS IN HEAVEN

Post by yawares »

Dear Members,

Have you ever heard the sad song TEARS IN HEAVEN, by Eric Clapton???

March 20, 1991.... four year old Conor Clapton, died on impact after a fall from the 53rd-story window of his mother's friend's New York City apartment, landing on the roof of an adjacent four-story building. The main sitting room had windows along one side that went from floor to ceiling, and they could be tilted open for cleaning. On this morning the janitor was cleaning the windows and had temporarily left them open. Conor was racing about the apartment playing a game of hide-and-seek with his nanny, and while Lori was distracted by the janitor's warning her about the danger, he simply ran into the room and straight out the window. He then fell 49 floors before landing on the roof of an adjacent four-story building.


Clapton's grief was expressed in the song "Tears in Heaven''.
Written for his son

Hi yawares

Such a very sad song!

Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.
