What are you listening to right now?

There are many things I have lost a complete hearing of. Watching old movies, I will make a comment like "now why do you suppose they edited that part out?"

99 looks at me and answers "Its in there..........."

And admitting my memory is better than my hearing is not a good thing. Tinnitus has been my nemesis for decades now!

 

x2...

 

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck.....its probably a duck

 

Saw them again this year, must be 8-10 times now.....they changed it up a bit for the second half of the show.

Wow... so good !!!

 

Yeah, that guitar with 50 fingers on it makes a lot more sounds than I would have ever imagined.

 

Maine's own Oshima Brothers are quite a team. Sean writes the songs and sings them. Younger brother Jamie plays every instrument he gets his hands on (and well) and does all of their tech production... audio and video. They're off on tour now. Check their latest video.

 

That still of the video looks like there out of the 80s?

 

Nope... 2019... just 2 of the happiest young guys I've ever met. Their folks are also musicians and are giving them great advantages with their musical quest. Jamie is so incredibly talented, it's crazy. They have something like 30 different instruments in their house in Belfast, and Jamie plays all of them. Here's a crazy vid of Jamie 5 years ago, just barely touching the surface of his skills...

 

He is talented. Not my type of music though.

 

Yeah, not my go to music either. But they sure do fit today's younger gen tho. Fun to watch how far they go. They've got a manager now down in Nashville, so who knows...

 

If I hadn't been glued t the TV last night watching the game I could have posted that I was listening to the game. Watching my Tigers (my alma mater) layout a first class whooping on Alabama "Roll that Tide" right out the stadium!!

Congratulations boys game and season well played. Show all the nay sayers that Clemson is a real power house and football and the Best team.

 

Streaming Frederic Chopin on yootoobs currently.

 

I was in the K's of my record collection.

So now that winter has set in, I have been adding to and reviewing my existing collection. Plugging holes here and there as some album I've identified as being a good addition catches my attention. Truth is I never really stopped.

This one came in number 36 in Rolling Stone's top 500 albums. Does anyone have any idea what Carole's song Tapestry is really about?

 

Love my old LPs too Oldhippie. They are making somewhat of a comeback among the younger generations which is great. Our adult children appreciate them too. My wife and I let them take whatever albums they would like from our dwindling collection.

Tangentially, when the movie The Sting came out in 1973 it started a revival of Scott Joplin's music, and as a boy I became enthralled with ragtime. My idol as an aspiring pianist was Joshua Rifkin on Nonsuch Records. Nobody plays Joplin as well as him, including me.

 

We were so lucky to have had the music of our youth. Now, it's therapy...

 

Listening to Jason Aldean in the truck and my mud tires humming as i roll down i20 at 80mph toward Columbia SC.
