From another thread... a little ebow work by the Manthing.
I tried one once and quickly realized it wasn't right for me!  :-D

Loved that Manring excerpt with the E-bow (except for that one ear-piercing note that my ears can no longer take).  I've thought about E-bows from time to time in the past; maybe it's time to think about them again.

Y'all have to check out the lyrics on this one.  (They are close-captioned for your convenience).  Words fail me!

Is that a lake or a Reservoir? 

It's an interesting story.

Actually... that wasn't bad.   

Goes to show you, any lyrics sung with conviction can be moving.  Even the same lyrics in different order.

Paul (who is with Rob on his question.... Typically more reservoirs than lakes out that-a way)

Almost as perfect an example of "Bro country" as "Bo Burnhams' Country Song"........

Listening to Fairytale Of New York by the Pogues, i have a stand in gig next week with an acoustic band doing their regular Christmas gig. Got a load of Christmas carols to do so I think this could be a safe one to get the classico on. I have always loved that song.

I've been listening to around a half dozen versions of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No 3.  This one may be my favorite so far.  Period correct instruments, good recording (and enjoyable video).

Most excellent!

Bill, tgo

Most excellent, indeed!

As a youngster (age 17-26) I was involved with a young lady who got her BM* in Harpsichord Performance.  She hipped me to a woman (whose name has, alas, fallen by the wayside decades ago) who was a proponent of using ensembles sized & instrumented in the fashion that ol' Johann actually wrote for, at a time when it was far more common to use full-sized modern orchestras; she was revered in Baroque-hardcore circles for telling some famous conductor (also no longer in the memory banks) who was rather militant about doing it with full-blown modernism "That's fine, you go ahead and feel free to play Bach your way, and I'll go ahead & keep playing Bach his way."

*That's "Bachelor of Music", not a scatological reference.........

In remembrance on Jaco's birthday.

Ana Vidović:

Love the Bach, David!  The Ana Vidović was great too!

Here's a nice Beatles tune by Pat Metheny
