Musical Interlude: Matt Bianco isn't a person, it's a group, that included singer Basia, who went on to a highly successful solo career. The group reconvened for a last hurrah after one member passed away, and this is a track from the album.

"La Luna," performed by Matt Bianco.

Musical Interlude: Back in the late 80s, I was totally in love with Basia's jazzy, Brazilian-influenced pop music, and still like it. She never did get enough love, I thought. Here's a favorite track; the opening bit always made me think of light reflecting on water.

"Baby, You're Mine," performed by Basia

I was going to watch something to wind the day down, but I opted for music instead.

A selection from it that's speaking to me tonight: Basia, "Two Islands"

Every innuendo seems to be in semaphore
Monday mornings turn into a Mardi Gras
And a glass of soda tastes more like Dom Perignon
Every dead end street's an ocean boulevard

And the cup that once appeared half-empty
Has become a cup that is half-full
Where there was a space, there is now plenty
You're a lucky sign ascending—
No one does for me what you do

Love is the sweetest illusion!

Bread and butter tastes more like it could be cordon bleu
Mona Lisa's smiling like a Cheshire cat
Even Johnny Rocker sounds today like Nat King Cole
Every yellow taxi's like a Cadillac

And the cup that once appeared half-empty
Has become a cup that is half-full
Where there was a space, there is now plenty
You're a lucky sign ascending—
No one does for me what you do

Love is the sweetest illusion!
