is anyone else totally in love with trespassers william?

has anyone else heard of trespassers william?

oh...um, that's okay then...

I've never heard of them, though I do appreciate the Winnie-the-Pooh reference.

I listen to music for the music, which is to say, not the lyrics. What I listen to includes:

-Classical, late Romantic period things like Mahler, Stravinsky, and Scriabin

-Early progressive rock, like Genesis, Gentle Giant, and Rush

-The alternative rock of my childhood, like Sponge, Incubus, and Stone Temple Pilots

-New bands no one has heard of, like Damiera, Kaddisfly, and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum

At the moment, I've been listening to mostly Oceansize (somewhat subdued progressive metal), The Fall of Troy (spastic yet well-composed screamo), and Grüvis Malt (a strange yet delightful mix of styles that they call 'futurock').

Well I feel lke the oldest person here, I remember when Gregory divied plain song into two parts and created the chant! Those were hot times, I'll tell you!

Then music got all secular and sidetracked, branching out from oran to orchestra and then that cocky little punk, Mozart!

I love classical, large orcherations - romantic works, Wagner, Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Moussorgsky and Ravel.

Brass band music - Sousa and Alfred are my favorites.

Big bands and Jazz from Tommy Dorsey to Maynard Ferguson - lots of trumpets!

Blood Sweat and Tears, Chicago, Adam Ant, the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel and Simon without Garfunkel.

Movie Soundtracks, Musicals and early electronic recordings!

Very favorite, but not so well known Don Ellis! Trumpet virtuoso and great experimenter in odd time signatures - unbelieveable - from the 70s but still ahead of his time now!

And I remember telling Bach, "You have 22 children already, get a hobby - write some music!"

Love ya,

Sally

It might be weird but...My obsessiveness with Star Wars lead me to research the music in the movies and I found I enjoyed listening to them more then I enjoy some bands. So I often watch movies/play games and find original tunes in them that I end up downloading.

I also enjoy a good movie or video game soundtrack. Anyone else who hasn't heard the Skies of Arcadia soundtrack should probably amend that immediately.

Actually, I wrote a video game soundtrack once... but it was a small independently published title for the Game Boy Advance that probably wasn't distributed outside New York City.

I saw this again and the mood changed...I was playing BOC and Alice in Chains...but have gone to Rashann Roland Kirk (as always...whew...he was always sooooo very cool when he'd come around, more doors) and Dizzy Gillespie whom I had a chance to see at the Hollywood Bowl w/Chuck Mangione and these South American percusionists that were<<I'm getting vapors here>>unbelieveable. :blink: NOOooooOW I have got to get slightly more current in my music...OMG I've become an 'ole Fogey...Pogo Dancing to the MOSH PIT...OOOooH nOOoo...Kelly Ann...wwwwwait I wanna hear sooommmmmething else nooooooooowwwwwwww

Hey Kelly Ann,

Did you get to talk to Diz? I had a chance to talk to hi breifly at a jazz educators convention. Chuck Mangione was really cool, I had a chance to talk with him after a concert at a nearby University. I have met a number of Musicians through my time in record stores and as a professional musican, but of the trumpet players, I had the chance to meet Maynard Ferguson a year or so before he died and I had a forty five minute one on one chat with Doc Severensen while he was waiting for his ride to show up after a concert. Spent the break between two shows in the Green Room with Wynton Marsallies and his band and heard Miles Davis at one of his last performances.

Not to mention working as a college student host for Stan Kenton and Buddy Rich!

I'm not trying to name drop, but I was so impressed by each of these people (except Buddy Rich who was a nasty as they say) and the time they took to talk to student musicians!

Love ya,

Sally

P.S. I'm always impressed when someone knows about Rashann Roland Kirk and I forgot to mention meeting Ornette Coleman!

hey Sally, do you know julian Priester?

i'm not into jazz that much, but i know a lota people who are

i met Julian, his wife is a poet

Link to comment

No, I never met him, was he nice?

Is his wife's poetry published?

That's a little off topic, but it is still in the arts.

Here's a surprise for you, I did meet Peter Weller (RoboCop and Buckaroo Bonzai), he was a trumpet player and I helped him find some Freddie Hubbard CDs a few years back (Freddie died this week). here are a view more jazz musician actors - Clint Eatwood (that's why he directed 'Bird" and the Dirty Harry films had such cool soundtracks), Bill Dailey from 'I Dream of Jeanie' and 'the Bob Newhart Show' was a bass player, Charlie Callous (the comedian) was a drummer in the big bands, Steve Martin plays banjo and Dan Akroyd, Robert Kline and Bruce Willis all play harmonica.

That's all for now!

Love ya,

Sally, the queen of all things trivial!

Guest Naomi Stardust

he was very nice, i heard him play too

i should listen to more jazz

anyway, he's really quiet and Nashira Priester can't seem to stop talking!

they're an interesting pair and they both seem very happy

Nashira doesn't have a book out but i see her name now and then in poetry journals,

i'll let you know when she does get a book published

this is the wrong thread, but i loved sigourney weaver in alien!

by the way, trivial pursuit was my favorite board game, that and scrabble

by your leave, your majesty....

Currently listening to: David Bowie, Prince, Queen, Tori Amos, Robin Trower, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles.

In the past, I have also been a fan of bands such as Phish, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Doors, Charlie Parker, Buddy Guy - I believe it was Duke Ellington who said that there are only two kinds of music: good music and bad music. I like the good stuff. :P

I listen to most blues, jazz, classical (I really like russian composers, especially Rachmaninov - a lot of power in those piano chords), classic rock, eighties metal, progressive metal, like Fates Warning or Dream Theater, some of the more light-hearted grunge like Weezer or The Presidents of the United States of America. I also like Celtic music and updated renaissance music like Blackmore's Night or Fairport Convention.

Interesting observation about the movie soundtracks, Naomi; I also like a good movie soundtrack. West Side Story makes me cry, LOTR is amazing, and I've always liked the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack.

Really, it all depends on my mood. I tend to shift genres every two weeks or so. The only type of music I categorically refuse to enjoy listening to is modern country. Makes me want to puke. All those macho redneck songs...

Here's one of my all time favourite groups, their music gives my chills within and a sense of letting go from the bites of reality, especially through my PA system and subwoofers.. :D

Infected Mushroom - Stretched

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=XhTu_tU__Yg

I like them to because its techno which is one of my favs.

I have mentioned before that I like almost everything but very heavily into Jazz and Classical (two very large and all encompassing catagories) and I can not wait until the divorce is final and I have the house (fingers crossed) when she gets her furniture out I will move my small system into the bedroom and put the 'wall of entertainment' in.

It is basically the same sound system that was in the average movie theater before they went into these tiny multiple screen affairs.

In a standard room a wall of speakers standing just over nine feet high and six feet wide might seem like a bit much, but what else are you going to do with a thousand watts of amplification?

And besides the sub woofer makes a lovely coffee table - just don't set a drink on it when playing anything by Wagner!

Not very girly, but maybe I can hide the big black cabinets with some lovely fabric.

I refuse to piant them pink!

A little Bach on this system sounds like you are in the room with a pipe organ - I love "Toccata and Fuge in d minor"

If you drop by, wait for a soft passage before you ring the bell.

Love ya,

Sally

Oh Sally, I am so jealous. The "Wall of Entertainment". How cool would that be? I'd never get anything done then.

      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.
