Back when I was a young whippersnapper, there were actually high school courses that covered Greek mythology. I even remember being introduced to it in grade school in the Fifties! Today you're lucky if some basic college humanities course covers even a part of it. I'm not sure if Bullfinch is still in print. Maybe they're using Graves, who does a fine job linking anthropology to mythology.
FReepers are among the most erudite people on the Internet, but I doubt most would know their Hades from their Tartarus, or their Styx from their Lethe. (Most people think Styx is a rock band.)
The word "hell" struck me as a barely acceptable sustitute for Tartarus. With so many Evangelicals on this site, that word resonates, even if it is not completely accurate.

Billy Joel - Live 1982 - Scenes From An Italian Restaurant

From the 14th Symphony.
Although the individual who posted it didn’t identify the singer, there is no doubt that it is the late Margaret Price with Graham Johnson on keyboard. I wish he had posted an English translation. It’s the story of a widower visited by the spirit of his beloved wife on a winter evening. It’s one of Schubert’s greatest songs.
Cats in the Cradle.......period.
For Mahler, check posts 199 and 208.
Here’s a song from a cd session I was hired to play pedal steel on. Tommy had this long drum intro, and wanted me to play something. I knew that pedal steel was not the right thing to play. They headed out to lunch, and I scrambled to put together an acoustic that I could play like a dobro. Because of the song’s structure, I figured that I needed a special tuning, so I invented one. Three high strings in one tuning, three low strings in another. They came back from lunch just as I finished tuning up. I had never played a single note in this tuning, don’t know if anyone else had either. I had them set up a run-through, but told them to record me in case they heard something they’d like me to work on, develope. Well, this is the “run-through.” They were satisfied, and wouldn’t let me work on it further. I wasn’t happy, but they were paying, so,,,, whatever! The 6-string solos are by my best friend, and extraordinary guitarist, Neil Zaza.

Here’s another that I played pedal steel on, from Zaza’s cd “Staring At The Sun.” I’m there for “texture.” He liked how I could play string trio parts on steel, with a very different sound. You have to listen closely though. I’m most prominent in the beginning.

Neil’s site; (He’s quite famous, world over, just not so much in the US, where people would rather hear rap, than a virtuoso!)
