Rob , I am glad that you enjoyed it. The sad aspect is what the song is really about , that being the devastating loss of human life after an atomic war. Her rendition makes the corners of my eyes tear , thus she has been successful as an artist and has made an impact, at least on me , but surely many other folks as well .

Some guys I'm filling in on bass with this summer just split a show with these folks last night. http://youtu.be/1SCc72-AbYA I met them several years ago at another music festival, and ended up jamming with them afterward. In addition to being absolutely fantastic musicians and singers, they are genuinely some of the nicest folks you would ever meet. Proud to be neighbors with them here in Southwest Virginia. http://www.larnellstarkeyandthespiritualseven.com/page1 | ||

I suppose I have tinnitus; there is constant white noise in my ears. I've had it for quite a while now, and I'm quite used to it. Quite a while back, I had my hearing tested; and there was high end loss in my left ear, and both high end and low end loss in my right ear. When I'm in a noisy room, I can't hear what other people are saying unless I lean in close with my left ear. Of course I played in loud bar band most of my life. But around fifteen years ago, the band I was in practiced in the basement of one of the members. It was not a large room. One night as we were getting ready to rehearse, he was adjusting the vocal levels; all of a sudden there was this piercing feedback, which really hurt. I'm pretty sure that one incident did more damage than any other. It's a cautionary tale for all of you who are still playing in loud bands. If the person mixing your sound at rehearsal isn't careful, real damage can be done in a second. Where I live it can get really quiet and peaceful. I like to sit out on the front porch and listen to the creek, the wind in the trees, and the white noise in my ears. They all blend in together.  | ||

I watched some of, and read about, Nightwish last night. Interestingly, they've had three different lead singers; the one in the video that Wolf linked is the latest. | ||

Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 4177 Registered: 5-2009 |
Dave,Thanks for checking that out. I am a little curious about the Symphonic type Metal with Female fronted " opera like " lead singers. There is musical drama and performance art there that I find appealing to some extent. Kind of Kool in a way . New stuff for me to hear and maybe even explore ! | ||
| davehouck
Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11751 Registered: 5-2002 |
I thought the combination worked well. And Wolf, if you haven't seen them with the first singer, you may like her as much as the third. From what I read, most of what they record includes symphony orchestras. I watched a few of their live videos, and while I'm not sure, it did seem to me that there may have been more musical content than was being produced by the musicians. Put another way, it seemed to me that perhaps the orchestral and choral parts were not being reproduced by a keyboard, but by a recording. Which is a whole, and perhaps interesting, discussion in itself. | ||

Dave, yes I have checked out their other lineups ,in some cases I have come to the same conclusion as you .

When I am working, the station I listen to most often is Venice Classic Radio. I find that baroque music provides the best environment for concentration. Sometimes they get a bit overblown, but most of their selections are very good. http://www.veniceclassicradio.eu/en/ Also, a lot of what Bach composed he did not write down. Much of it was improvised and sketches written that were frozen on paper by later interpreters. He was apparently a brilliant improviser. | ||

This thread is turning into What WERE you listening to for me. Yesterday was my wife's birthday (and Mica's- happy belated). We went and saw the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven's Fifth, truly a pleasure. The show started with some modern composers (Sean Shepherd and Nico Muhly). But the cherry on top was that prior to going into Beethoven's brilliance, they played a short song by Morton Feldman. As soon as the song started my wife bolted upright and sat on the edge of her seat; the song was the same song that is the intro to a local radio show (WMSE's The Modern Chamber) and she always swoons when she hears it. So there it was, the perfect birthday gift, surprisingly provided by an unexpected source. And here it is: Madame Press Died Last Week at Ninety https://youtube.com/watch?v=vbJ1uNFbhTo | ||

Agree Wolf... and of all the Romance languages, French seems to translate easiest into music. Alas, I only ever studied Latin, (use the term "study" loosely) so I couldn't understand a word of it. Ordinarily, you'd simply assume since you're performing it for a wedding ceremony, it must be pretty sentimental, but the sheer inflection makes it clear in that sound. It wasn't as difficult as I thought either... there is no bass on the recording I was given to study, so I was able to chart it with a clean slate. FWIW, The Civil Wars was a short-lived thing... the duo split last year even with some critical acclaim ongoing. I wish there had been more of that kind of thing happening in Nashville back in my time there. | ||

Watching and listening to Bill Frisell live from Jazz at Lincoln Center. The Jazz at Lincoln Center webcasts are always excellent quality. The two shows tomorrow night will also be webcast, show times below are EST. Some good stuff so far including a great version of Muddy Water's "I Can't Be Satisfied". "In the grand series finale of two years and six dynamic performances of the Roots of Americana series, Guitarist Bill Frisell, along with saxophonist Greg Osby, pianist Craig Taborn, and drummer Rudy Royston, embarks on a musical journey along the revered route, which Bob Dylan famously immortalized in 1965. Join us for a profoundly historic sojourn realized by Frisell through his unique embodiment of the the American landscape." Friday, May 29th 7:30pm & 9:30pm Saturday, May 30th 7:30pm & 9:30pm | ||

Saw Martin guest-host for Carson once; it was the first I knew he played, and I thought he was pretty fair. But one of his guests was his teacher (that would be John McEuen) and he kind of blew me away. Then, while they were at the couch talking, John lays his banjo on the floor, takes off his shoes & socks (to reveal another pair of socks with the toes cut out) and proceeds to blow away most players I've heard with his feet! Peter (who's starting to think he couldn't sound worse playing that way....) |
