One of my favorite tunes is a bit too short. It's a variation of Edvard Grieg's piano ode "Spring Dance/Leaping Dance", but I can't find the original.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anggEcJdlik I wish it was much longer. I love the woodwinds, horns, flutes, and violins - and harp. It's too short. :frown:

It's supposed to be the 5th piece on this one, starting at 7:28
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OjOLgxR4T4 Nigel Westlake's variation on Grieg's Spring Dance is wonderful. I hope someone would develop it into a symphony.

A bold statement, sir (no pun intended).

Yes, and no one can sing that song like she does. Beautiful.

Adagio - Tom Barabas

I was disappointed that I didn't see the kid in the green sweat shirt get his butt kicked. What a snot!

They have such an unusual sound. Eastern European, but for anyone from the SW US he can't hide his Sante Fe roots. The Mariachi influence is obvious.

I don't remember a popular group having the brass sound since the seventies.

Last night I was listening to some of Lady Gaga's stuff for the first time. Entering the wayback machine... She reminds me a lot of Cher. Has anyone else noticed this? Her sound, presentation, and even her look reminds me of Cher.

I just came upon this excellent version of one of my favorite Bob Dylan tunes.

For the longest time, I hated Bob Dylan. I suppose he was a bit before my time.

Then one day, I walked into a joint, and they were playing a song. I said; "Wow. Who the hell is this? This is freakin' awesome."

They said it was Dylan.

"Hurricane Carter" was the song, from the "Desire" album.

live and learn.

Recognizing Whoopie Goldberg is a must, but if two others are Phil Jackson and Jesse James I know too much of useless (in Poland!) trivia.

They say music sounds different after a joint.

Whenever I see this commercial, I think of Turbo-1. Not just because he owns a Subaru, but because I can imagine being in a pub tipping beers with him while this tune is playing.

For a full version of the song,

I just love it.

I grew up in the sixties, so I am somewhat partial to music of that era. This is one of my favorites from 1969. I liked the sound of it when it first came out, but I never really listened to the words until many years later. It was the line "I am so afraid of dieing, before I dry the tears she's crying" that caught my attention and made me listen to the whole song. And it seems a somewhat fitting song to post for memorial day.

There was a lot of crossover between country-rock and pop back then. I too was a Glen Campbell fan in those days. He wasn't a huge favorite but I really liked some of his songs. And I remember his show being a favorite. But you can't talk about Campbell wiithout mentioning his biggest hit.

I had to outgrow the hard rock phase before I would even admit that I used to like this stuff. :redface: Of that same genre

My grandmother liked this one as much as I did. I thought that was pretty cool.

Amazing song,



I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I, I´ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too...
I'm getting older too...

So, take this love, take it down
Oh if you climb a mountain and you turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down

I had to do some thinking to understand the lyrics.

One of my favorite songs, root :smile:. Makes me think of raising my daughter, and watching her become a strong, independent young woman.
