WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menoizikul; Midweek Musicalisms

This week sees the turn of the second anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. When I discovered that access to this video of Aleksandr playing the national anthem was restricted to YT only, I nearly chose another video... but I feel it is important to have you watch him play this while sitting in a bomb-torn street in 2022. The battle still rages... So please take the time to honour the war-affected in your hearts as you click the image to link through to the performance. Thank you.

  8. What a heartfelt, or maybe heart wrenching is more apt, performance...
