What are you listening to today?

[Heather Shay]

@Delcina B I think we are all angels of sorts - telling others what they need to know even though we never know we did and hearing things from others we didn't know we needed to hear. I think that's how God uses us to help others - as angels.

I needed a little "beauty" from Cristina today. Thanks.

It's a kind of Tull day......

 

 

[Cyndee]

Tull day sounds good @Shay

 

From their 1969 "Stand Up" album (personal fave), a song of summer....

I love some Jethro Tull.   I have never been a concert goer, but I did see them once when I was in Germany.

 

This is a fun YouTube of a classical flutist reacting to Anderson's technique.

 

[Heather Shay]

Interesting tune I'd completely forgotten about..............

Why - Annie Lennox

@Davie Thanks for the song. This is a good one for me today. I guess both people in a relationship often ask why. Sometimes it's never out loud.

 

Thanks!

Olympics you say? I remember the theme from the last time Tokyo held the Olympics, loved the theme then, still has the power to move some 57 years later.

Been going through a dark spell the last week or so. I heard the following songs while running an errand and they just made me feel good.

Love these three tunes. Te amo a Lost Lonely Boys, tambien.

Thanks for reminding me, @miz miranda.

@petra I'm 69 so I guess I heard it but forgot due to old timers disease.

I love when classically trained people do these videos. It sort of quells their egos to see rock players do things with the instrument that they themselves never even knew was possible and basically out playing the classically trained player.

I find classically trained players live in a confined space or bubble and they never vary outside their confines. Everything has to fit  a profile and strict regiment.

Rok opens your mind and lets you have freedom to do things that are outside the box so to speak.

So true. I once gathered some musicians to do "Cotton Patch Gospel" and the bassist was the high school Orchestra teacher and when we decided we needed to change a key accommodate a singer he went ballistic because he said the music was written in a certain key. The rest of us were rock musicians and key change was so easy for us to change and not even think about it.

 

And I always wondered why classical musicians Must use written music but it's not allowed if you're a rock musician.

Orchestral music is very precise and complex with notation for more than notes and time signatures. Rock is an amalgamation of European and African folk music that is meant to be shared easily without notation. The two, when married, create wonderful children: https://youtu.be/G42-qaPxZK0

Los Lonely Boys are from my home town. I remember them before they got big playing bars around town.

I need to pick up this album. The film of them back then is cool. The changing time signature in this tune is cool.

My contribution for this evening. Plug your ears in and focus on the production and arrangement of this song. I really enjoy Sylvan Esso and this is not a style of music I usually like:

@Erica Gabriel I try to appreciate any type of music genre if done well. I try not to be a prude. I like classical and some prog but tend to be influenced more from natural untrained talents such as my favorite influence.... The Beatles.... I appreciate those who studied and are technical wizards but I tend to play and create based on my own creative limitations.

 

Thank you for Sylvan very talented.
