She had been to Texarkana and stopped by on her way home to Magnolia. The note said, "They didn't have any Kate Smith." (Aw, dang) "So I got you Liberace."
I wore out that album. Mostly, Moonlight Sonata. Listen to it, to the Symphony 7 movement 4, to Egmont Overture. Beethoven, along with predecessors Vivaldi and Bach, was metal, among other things. Influences have greater reach than decades. Listen to Dio's work on Deep Purple's Highway Star, then listen to Bach.

Kind of like BB King and left hand vibrato - he didn’t invent it, but sure as hell raised it to the standard everyone tried to meet.
