On what planet is Evanescence light rock? See this is why I do not like people skipping to one song per album, they got to enjoy the value of every song they put out. No matter what.

Shostakovitch Symphony #7 "Leningrad"
There are times when I need a blues or rock fix, but today I need a symphony.

When I was in China, I went to the Beijing / Peking Opera.
It was quite a spectacle and a delightful assault on my ears. Strange music that sometimes sounded dissonant to my ears and sometimes like raucous noise. Musical instruments were played that had very different timbre voices than what I'm used to hearing. Sensory overload. If I had the time, I would have gone again.
I of course couldn't understand a word of it, but I didn't go in thinking I would. It was delightful, I'm glad I went, and the memories are nice.

Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley, with Chinese and English lyric captions added by me.
My middle school students love it.
I actually bought this on a CD in 1987.

I was in China in 1996, a year before Hong Kong went back to China.
Normally when I travel, I go independently, making my own way and on my own time. But I took a tour in China because I wouldn't be able to read the road signs or bus schedules.
In any country that uses the Latin alphabet, I can make out the signs even if I can't understand what they mean.
We started in Beijing, went up to the great wall, meandered down to Hong Kong with delightful stops along the way, and then went home.
We had many evenings to ourselves, so I would take a card from the hotel, so I could get back by showing it to a cab driver, and we would seek out music. In one nightclub, although I didn't understand a word of what went on, a woman played the erhu so beautifully it brought tears to our eyes.
But that's off topic.

I’m listening (and watching) the CBS news story in the link below - again. (I read the story the first time through and enjoyed the embedded YouTube links and then watched.)
it tells the story behind the iconic Charlie Brown Christmas special and the music that carried it. Well worth your time.
Enjoy…

Vince Guaraldi was a very well respected jazz pianist that the general public never heard of before the Charley Brown Christmas exposed him to the masses. I'm glad he got the recognition he deserved.
He did have one hit in the 1960s, but it wasn't near the exposure that Charlie Brown provided.
