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

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.

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.

Speed limit is 70 here, but I love this song anyway.

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.
