Inspired by one of the best songs ever made IMHO, thought of a topic with music about ladyboys. Ofcourse songs, dedicated to a specific ladyboy, are also more than welcome

‘We aren’t all dumb hillbillies’: how Covid caused a rift in country music. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/aug/16/we-arent-all-dumb-hillbillies-covid-rift-country-music

For anyone interested in catching some live music whilst traveling through Cambodia, here's an excellent and comprehensive website about Cambodia's music scene: Leng Pleng (Play Music) I have learned from a reliable source that the open mic/jam session at Alley Cat Cafe every Sunday night is great if you are into Jazz, Blues, and Rock. Apparently, some of the best barang and Khmer musicians in Phnom Penh jam together. I plan to investigate this Sunday.

This seems like such a gay topic, but with various music threads usually getting a lot of response I thought I'd take the chance. I've become a big fan of Broadway musicals. Not necessarily the older classic stuff, but the more modern (rock-oriented) stuff. For example, I just bought a ticket to see "American Idiot" based on the Green Day album. I had to be in Seattle for business tomorrow so I checked online and found a front row ticket for Tuesday's show. This often happens as the promoter and cast return prime tickets in the first couple of rows to the box office a night or two before the show if they aren't going to be able to use them. I think I've always loved very dramatic music - Pink Floyd and Genesis being classic examples - and my first two musical loves were The Beatles - Abbey Road and Jesus Christ Superstar (original studio recording) which featured Ian Gillan from Deep Purple in the role of Christ. Classic stuff. I really payed no attention to Broadway though until around 1990 when I heard a friend playing Phantom Of the Opera, and found I liked it. Then I went to see Les Miserables and Miss Saigon within the same year and was hooked. My favorite shows as of right now are Wicked, Rent, and Les Miserables. I've seen most of them on the west end in London, and then in touring productions. Never been to Broadway but will definitely do that in the next couple of years if only to see a few shows. Another favorite that is little known to most of the world is Bombay Dreams. I stumbled upon it in it's first week on the west end in London with no expectations, and was blown away. Sadly it was a very expensive production and not very successful. They tried to bring it to Broadway but they completely retooled it for American audiences and removed much of what I loved about the show in the first place. All the music was written by A.R. Rahman, the famous Indian composer that's now so lauded for his score to Slumdog Millionaire. Ok, so am I the only Broadway fan here? Bombay Dreams: Wicked:
