Seriously,

How many times can one hear Verdi's La Traviata (regardless who sings)
without putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger? :)

I dunno, Tom. You think the station has a short play list?

Probably in terms of what they play - not in terms of who actually
performs.

There certainly are nuances to the way one individual performs a piece
of music vs another, but there are only so many variations on a theme.

Consider that the only true piece of unique classical music was
Wagner's Ring Cycle and that was so incredibly depressing in scope and
sound that is hardly worth the bother except for the pseudo
intellectual babble that normally surrounds the individual set pieces.

And to tell the truth, one piece by Vivaldi sounds like any other
written by him.

Give me Manhattan Transfer any day. :)

There are tens of thousands of beautiful classical vocal pieces.

Of course there were.

Manhattan Transfer?

Yes - a different sort of opera.

Sheesh.

Good programming for sure but I hate to compromise my firewall by
allowing Internet Explorer to act as a server. It shouldn't really be
necessary unless their delivery partner, Limelight Networks, is up to
some spyware mischief.

Reminds me of my vacation in Mexico, circa 1990. All I heard down there
was 'Macarina' or whatever the hell it's called. Over and over and
over......

I don't know what's worse, The classical cure for insomnia, or the
rap cure for narcolepsy.

Rap and classical are like matter and anti-matter. Put them both on
and they'll annihilate each other.........

I prefer CCR.........

The only thing I didn't like about CCR was that all their songs
sounded the same. They were all different, but they all sounded the
same.

Weird.

You can say the same for a bunch of bands. When a particular band's
signature "sound" is pleasing, then it's sure bet that you'll like
most of their songs. The converse is also true.

My favorite boating songs:


When navigating a crowded waterway or zig-zagging through crab pots:

Run Through the Jungle - CCR.


When Tubing:

Tunnel of Love - Dire Straits.


When cruising a long and narrow river or canal:

Green River - CCR.


When cruising through a primarily sailboat marina:

Born on the Bayou - CCR.


Cruising flat out:

Down To the Waterline - Dire Straits.


Waiting out a sudden summer thunderstorm:

Who'll Stop the Rain - CCR
Thunder and Lightning - Phil Collins


Anchoring out at the local river:

Down By The River - Neil Young


After filling up the gas tank:

Back in Black - AC-DC.


When the day is over:

I Wanna Be Sedated - Ramones

So did I - and I wasn't half bad with a 5 string banjo or fiddle
either.

However, any idiot can play drums. :)

I started out on mandolin and can play an OK banjo.

Ever seen Bruce Molsky?

That's true, but not just any idiot can play them well.

I could never get the hang of the mandolin. I could "play", but I
couldn't play if that makes any sense to you. Just couldn't get the
stroke and fingering down evenly. I'd have periods of competence and
periods of total incompetence, but it never sounded "right".

Ever seen Bruce Molsky?

I have never seen him, but I have the "Fiddlers 4" CD with Doucet,
Eggleston and Anger. That's a great CD.

I have seen on of his mentors, Tommy Jarrell way long time ago.

LOL!!!

Damn straight. :)

I'd never heard of him until about a month ago, when an old friend
dragged my wife and I to see him. He is awesome! I got the impression
that he's pretty much devoted his life to this music and the result
shows. IIRC he mentioned a number of names including Tommy Jarrell. I
also thought he was very witty & funny although it wasn't the sort of
venue for uproarious laughter.

I was only allowed to buy one CD at intermission and picked "Contented
Must Be" which we love. "Fiddlers 4" is on my list.
