Sitti Navarro – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We heard this singer while having dinner. And considering all the mediocre Phillipino music I’ve heard from bands, for example in hotels in India, she’s got quite a smooth voice. -
Computer Speakers
Well, I went and splurged on good speakers for the computer. I figure I spend a lot of time at the computer and now with the new speakers I don’t want to leave it. Not quite life changing but, nice and good quality so should last many years.
The sound is really good even with headphones plugged in. My only comment is that the stereo image of the instruments isn’t really distinct.
They connect via USB to the computer as Bose says:
The Companion 5 system features a handy, all-in-one control pod to keep speaker volume control, single-touch mute, headphone jack and an auxiliary input all within easy reach.

Simone Dinnerstein – Bach Goldberg Variations
I downloaded Simone Dinnerstein’s version from EMusic today to listen to. I never liked Glenn Gould’s version.
If you want to be a concert pianist when you grow up, there are certain rules. You do start playing as a young child. You don’t drop out of Juilliard. You do win competitions and get the attention of managers at a young age. You don’t end up at 30 with no management and no bookings, raising the money yourself for your first recording. And you definitely don’t make your New York recital debut with Bach’s demanding “Goldberg†Variations, which are supposed to reflect the wisdom of long experience, and Baroque style.
