The first is correct. The second is only a third of the total riff, but if played staccato it should be sufficient. Everybody knows it, Zarathustra rather less. The same goes for the third. I would have chosen c' flat instead, but couldn't find a note sheet that properly starts with that ... (hint) flute!Ibix said:Beethoven's Fifth

The Chain
I think Bolero wouldn't start on c' (flat). It is probably a western concert flute, but an Irish flute or even tin whistle (R.I.P. Micho) would do. You know it when you hear it. As it is only one note, it is a bit difficult to recognize unheard. The song has lyrics that start a bit later, but if you search the internet for the notes, the starting whistle is hard to find.Ibix said:Ravel's Bolero, maybe? Is that usually played on a flute? Don't remember.

No, not a Spanish folk song, but a Caribbean folk song.WWGD said:La Cucaracha?

I knew that "Caribbean" wasn't a hint, 'cause most people don't know (although the Bahamas are part of the lyrics). And maybe it is a triangle that was used for that long high tone. Well, at least I always want to sing along whenever I only hear that single (high) tone.WWGD said:Tally me Banana?
Triangle? Maybe Harry " Pythagoras" Belafonte?fresh_42 said:I knew that "Caribbean" wasn't a hint, 'cause most people don't know (although the Bahamas are part of the lyrics).

Good note sheets are hard to find, and usually, also depend on the instrument. Could be that I erased the missing octave because it was hard to see on the screenshot.hmmm27 said:Supertramp Long Way Home ? ... wrong note and wrong octave, but the other ones were messed up, as well. (B5 is in 2/2 not 4/4 ; Smoke's off by an octave)
It doesn't start with a full note.Jarvis323 said:Beach Boys, Kokomo?

I read that it is a Caribbean folk song, but I don't remember whether the entire song or only the tune.WWGD said:Good. I want to go home. I want to go home, I feel so broke up, I want to go home.

Why are some Californians singing so many songs about the Caribbean? How about the other one: Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I want to take her, Bermuda, Banana , common pretty mama ...( can't remember the name of the song). Not enough interesting things going on in Cali?fresh_42 said:I read that it is a Caribbean folk song, but I don't remember whether the entire song or only the tune.
Kokomo. Seems so. At least a lot fewer islands.WWGD said:Why are some Californians singing so many songs about the Caribbean?

I never heard of any island called Kokomo. It is the name of a town, in, I think, Indiana. Even stranger. Guess all that stuff they smoked?fresh_42 said:Kokomo. Seems so. At least a lot fewer islands.
Kokomo is a pop song by The Beach Boys. It appeared in 1988 as a single on Elektra Records and is part of the soundtrack to the movie Cocktail. Filming locations: mainly Canada, NYC, and Jamaica. At least a bit of a justification.WWGD said:I never heard of any island called Kokomo. It is the name of a town, in, I think, Indiana. Even stranger. Guess all that stuff they smoked?
To make it even stranger, Jamaica ( Queens) is part of NYC. But it seems it originates from a local tribe called Jamaeka or something like that. Edit: But maybe the BB were sampling the merchandise from ' Cocktail'.fresh_42 said:Kokomo is a pop song by The Beach Boys.

Yep, they are still around, sometimes even on tv shows (e.g. Home Improvement).WWGD said:BTW, I think the BBs are still playing, orcat least did some reunion shows. Some band had one " Hell Froze Over", but I think it was not them.
It's pretty impressive how many bands today keep playing even with members into their 70s. They must be doing something consistently right.fresh_42 said:Yep, they are still around, sometimes even on tv shows (e.g. Home Improvement).
Edit: I think the movie was (partly) filmed on real Jamaica, not Queens. But there could have been a parallel. I don't know the movie, only what imdb told me.
Not sure it's the one you're talking about but I understand they had trouble in Germany last year when people attented their own parties in parks in defiance of Covid prohibitions.fresh_42 said:The most crowded, most peaceful open-air music event in Germany with the most drunken visitors is a Heavy Metal concert over several days in the middle of nowhere with only farmers living there.
It didn't take place last year due to Covid. I was just mentioning the normal as I saw a documentary on tv. I'm always astonished how it works out well, the clash between completely different kinds of people: headbangers versus farmers. Of course, it is a win-win situation, nevertheless, they find a peaceful way of coexistence despite the fact that the ground is probably ruined for the rest of the year.WWGD said:Not sure it's the one you're talking about but I understand they had trouble in Germany last year when people attented their own parties in parks in defiance of Covid prohibitions.
This is as sad as it is true. It is a self re-inforcing construction. I like Bones version of it:Borg said:I recently got a work email that caused this quote from Civilization IV to come to mind:

Growing up in California around the same time as the original Beach Boys band members, we learned to sing and play "Sloop John-B" in grade school. Harry Belafonte helped popularize the song on television at least a few years before the Beach Boys began recording.fresh_42 said:I read that it is a Caribbean folk song, but I don't remember whether the entire song or only the tune.
