Saturday night playlist.

Here's a list of some of the music I've been listening to this evening.

The Beatles, "Back in the USSR."
(I don't see any pro-communist sympathies in this rollicking song. What I do see is something of a tribute to the "surf" music genre that was popular in the 1960s.)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nS5_EQgb uLc

Led Zeppelin, "Rock and Roll."
(Maybe the best song for driving ever made.)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KRCXygWz U-o

REM, "Radio Free Europe."
(In your face, you commie bastards! This song was in my head as my brother and I watched the TV news coverage of the fall of the Berlin Wall–"Die Mauer"--fall in November 1989. The drum sequence at 3:39 kicks some serious ass.)
https://youtu.be/s7o7BACnGnY

The Beach Boys, "Shut Down."
Vrrooom!
https://youtu.be/thXjTd1AWNo

Slim Dusty, "Waltzing Matilda."
(Hell yeah, I'm in a defiant state of mind.)
https://youtu.be/FqtttbbYfSM

Slim Dusty, "Charleville."
(A little bit o' country music from our mates Down Under)
https://youtu.be/llVkVqed3vM

Gordon Lightfoot, "Canadian Railroad Trilogy."
(I've read a little about the men who built the trans-Canada railroad. They made huge sacrifices to build that massive railroad. Some of the men were from China, and never were able to afford to return to their homes. It's a powerful piece of North American history.)
https://youtu.be/Yzo6Otpgj-E

The Kingston Trio, "The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy."
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A7zivz_X IqE

The Kingston Trio, "Erie Canal."
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UzEqNePI rZI

The Association, "Windy."
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wdyP_vAg C0c

Georg Friedrich Handel, "Halleluiah" chorus, from "The Messiah" oratorio, during the pandemic.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_PQYVbd1 Gwg

Windsor Castle Guards, "The Star-spangled Banner" (to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11).
https://youtu.be/P8hEzsKn954

Hoosli Ukrainian Male Choir, Ukrainian and Canadian national anthems (at Winnipeg Jets hockey game)
https://youtu.be/7y8Iw6Oee8I

Mirelle Mathieu, "La Marseillaise" (national anthem of France).
https://youtu.be/SIxOl1EraXA

Ludwig van Beethoven, "Symphony No. 7, Fourth Movement."
(In my Music 101 class at DePaul University, part of the final exam was to write an essay about this musical gem.)
https://youtu.be/_7b1xO7K2RI

Wichita State School of Music, "Song for a Winter's Night."
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=it7U88Sq D6o
