Especially beautiful music this morning, including the most-performed aria in the world, the Oscar-winning music from the film 'Schindler's List,' and one of the most beautiful piano concertos. When Steven Spielberg showed the film to Williams and asked him to compose the score for it, Williams said, 'You need a greater composer than I am to write it,' and Spielberg replied, 'I know, but they're all dead.'

And after shaving this morning, I watched this video again. Nils and Bianca, the consensus best swing dancers in the world for the past few years, always lift my spirits. Love it.

Scott Joplin's 'Paragon Rag.' I don't think I had heard one of his rags played with piano and guitar together before.

And Ennio Morricone's 'Gabriel's Oboe' from the film 'The Mission,' which I haven't heard in a long time and always enjoy.
