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

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.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
