"You're Still the One" is a song recorded by Canadian singer #ShaniaTwain for her third studio album #ComeOnOver (1997). The song was inspired by criticism of Twain's relationship with her then-husband and #producer #RobertJohnMuttLange and depicts her celebrating their marriage despite the difficulties and differences between the two. Written by Twain and Lange, it is a #piano-driven #countryPop ballad incorporating #guitar, #organ, and #mandolin.

Okay, in 1851 the opera Rigoletto was first performed in Venice. BUT 155 years later, a Canadian film adaptation, ''Rigoletto ...in bluegrass" won Best Originality at the Bluegrass Independent Film Festival in Kentucky.

While most of the music is deliberately corny bluegrass, the Prelude and the Introduction from the original opera are performed by the Mandolin Society of Peterborough.

Back in for my second round of chemo. Doc said I was so far ahead of the norm in my response to the first round that he's confident two to three more rounds that I'll "never be bothered by this again."

Huge shoutout to the medical, nursing, and support staff here at Duke. Incredibly competent, professional, and supportive. I should add that they're a magnificent example of diversity.

"The Entertainer" is a 1902 #classicPianoRag written by #ScottJoplin. It was sold first as sheet music by #JohnStarkAndSon of #StLouis, Missouri, and in the 1910s as piano rolls that would play on #playerPianos. The first recording was by blues and #ragtime musicians the #BlueBoys in 1928, played on #mandolin and guitar. As one of the classics of ragtime, it returned to international prominence as part of the ragtime revival in the 1970s.
