She was pure Xingyi power! :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVWDbKuP2_8

I think this is my favorite Satie piece - Gnossienne #1, originally for piano but I like this guitar transcription as well.

As a chef, i work in a most stressful environment. On busy nights, to help pacify the stress among all the other creative geniuses at work within the confines of an oven-like kitchen, i usually pipe some Vangelis for its hauntingly smooth and soothing effect the tunes have on everyone. These are a couple of my favs. --

Enlightened music is a subjective point of view. However, the music of the 60's changed the world, stopped a war, started a spiritual revolution and nearly brought down a government. The 60's was an enlightenment! A renaissance!

 

A little Hendrix.
