In a word, musical hubris...... goodgawd..... This applies to the Beatles, as well. If you want a musical thrill AND education, listen to Jacques Loussier doing Vivaldi's Seasons. Every person with a kid in music class/school/studying an instrument should get this CD. Loussier's Play Bach series was, of course, legendary, but a bit more esoteric. The Vivaldi thing is more "understandable", surprisingly true to the original. Vivaldi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3H-eybKbi4 starts at 0:30; not crazy about the bossa nova improv, but OK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-wQKNBvfpM Winter -- starts slow, but hang in there.... 01:20 will knock you out.... catch the bass.... Note the stunningly low 1,274 hits.... compare to the Jonas Bros... a true commentary on our effingly useless bankrupt culture. You can find a bunch of his Play Bach series, as well. This is all, of course, waaaay of jb's head, but then so are spreadsheets and manual contouring, and, or course, mastercam. -- EA

Ackshooly, I did! Some of that celtic stuff is really niced stuff. BUTT.... I sort of bristle at the las vegas-type mega productions they turn all this into -- Reminds me of the Yanni mega-productions -- which I think turns effing music into a methamphetamine injection, which I don't think was god's original intent for music, but then we (the cultural "we") tend to megafy everygoddammthing. At this point, about all's I can handle is one instrument at a time..... cain't take the effing drama anymore. -- EA > > > > Gunner >
