Inspired by gerontocrat's "That sea is a mystery to me" and "Beaufort"

Roy Orbison - She's A Mystery To Me (1989) recorded 3 months before his dead
(4m15)

Nadieh - Windforce 11 (1986) = 11 Beaufort (which would annihilate the ice), staying in context

(3m21)

LOL i had this song lined up for the Arctic.

Given the annual wildfires around the Arctic which have been growing, this seems like an appropriate song.
Fake Trivia: Most don't know the band is named after the patches of good ice in the U. Bremen concentration map.

Adagio For Strings - Samuel Barber - directed by Leonard Bernstein

Quote

Leonard Bernstein (/ˈbɜːrnstaɪn/ BURN-styne;[1] August 25, 1918 – October 14, 1990) was an American composer, conductor, pianist, music educator, author, and lifelong humanitarian. He was one of the most significant American cultural personalities of the 20th century. According to music critic Donal Henahan, he was "one of the most prodigiously talented and successful musicians in American history".

A lifelong humanitarian, Bernstein worked in support of Civil Rights;[7] protested the Vietnam War; advocated for nuclear disarmament; raised money for HIV/AIDS research and awareness; and engaged in multiple international initiatives for human rights and world peace. Near the end of his life, he conducted a historic performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in Berlin to celebrate the Fall of the Berlin Wall. The concert was televised live, worldwide, on Christmas Day, 1989.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Bernstein

Quote

Samuel Osmond Barber II (March 9, 1910 – January 23, 1981) was an American composer of orchestral, opera, choral, and piano music. He is one of the most celebrated composers of the 20th century; music critic Donal Henahan stated, "Probably no other American composer has ever enjoyed such early, such persistent and such long-lasting acclaim."[1]

His Adagio for Strings (1936) has earned a permanent place in the concert repertory of orchestras.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Barber

Quote

The Adagio for Strings reflects the distressing years of World War II, and each instrument seems to be a part of this misery: the violins pass on delicate emotions of a frail, beating heart; the lush voices of the violas reach deep into the fragile human soul with questions of anguish; the cellos’ expressions represent the torture of the soul and the despair that is brought about; and the double basses symbolize the strained, pressured burden, as well as the echo of the grave emptiness that follows.

The Adagio’s tender emotionalism goes straight to the heart, for it came forth from the living nucleus, and the finely-spun cantilena envelops the listener with poignant, frail pathos united with the harmonic opulence of sorrow.

Baroque trumpetry at it's almost paradigmatical contemporary reproducibility (except for the horn's German Schummel-Löcher) ... 6:33 ff. (N.B.: No apotheosis of the trumpet without the oboe...)

For those who like oldies while surfing the web, put an Oldies radio station online listen on a tab.
So far I have found WDLW, WSWO, WIRL, WQTL, and WYBT.
Of course, if you prefer another format, go on Wikipedia and look for lists of radio stations. They are listed by state, and each one has information listed, including format.You can click on the call letters to get the article on that station, and the infobox has a link to the station's website.
Happy listening!

EDIT: There are also apps (WECK has a particularly good one) so you can listen in the car or elsewhere away from a terminal.

Well, I've tried out a hundred or more Oldies stations. Thought I'd mention WAIZ in North Carolina, which does exclusively the first decade or so of Rock, unique among the stations I have tried.
I notice that I am listening to even more music now that I can't go places like before.

Not crazy about the tune but the lyrics are pertinent to this forum.
Yet another one from WAIZ:

Tall Oak Tree - Dorsey Burnette

There was a tall oak tree
That loved a babblin brook,
And the babblin brook
loved the mountain high,
And the mountain high
Loved the sky above.
The Creator looked down
And saw everything was love, love, love.
No, he took a bone
And a piece of mud --
He made a man and a woman
To be flesh and blood.
And then along came the devil
Up out of the ground --
He tempted the woman,
And that spread sin all round, all round, all round.
Now, if she?d left that apple
On that apple tree,
There?d be no tears or sorrow,
We?d live eternally.
And then along came Man
And chopped the oak tree down
And now the babblin brook
Is solid ground.
And now the mountain high
don't stand so high,
And there's a cloud of smoke
That covers up the clear blue sky.
There was a tall oak tree,
There was a tall oak tree,
There was a tall oak tree.
