Hi freetoken. I've been meaning to ask you what your avatar means.

Sorry if you've already explained this.

Some more Sunday music... Earth Wind and Fire

Devotion

Through devotion, blessed are the children
Praise the teacher, that brings true love to many
your devotion, opens all life`s treasures
and deliverance, from the fruits of evil.
So our mission, to bring a melody,
ringin` voices sing sweet harmony

For you here`s a song, to make your day brighter.
One that will last, you long thru troubled days.
Giving your heart the light to brighten.
All of the dark that falls in your way
You need devotion. bless the children
deliverance from the fruits of evil

In everyone`s life, there`s a need to be happy.
Let the sun shine, a smile your way.
Open your heart, feel a touch of devotion.
Maybe this song, will help uplift your day.

Make a better way
You need devotion

Maybe next time add an "IMHO". That way you don't sound so condescending and judgemental, okay?

Besides, Charles was/is a professional musician for many years. You might not like his music, but that doesn't mean it sucks. I do consider him an expert.

I don't like everything he suggests or links to, but a lot of it is by artists I've never heard of, and if he (or anyone else) links to something that's good, that's great.

re: #57 Charles

Nope. It took me to Stinky's page, with a notation on the page saying:

Well, yes imho opinion Charles's music blow's, but Charle's doesn't. Even if he has an extensive history of being a musician, it would not mean to me his shit didn't suck. With that said Charle's doesn't suck, and LGF along with you guy's doesn't either,.......but his goddamn music does......to me. Now if only he would just include some Rick Astley and some Thompson Twin's.

These lost Led Zep videos still kill me.

2 bloody amps, no monitors and maybe Jimmy page is using one "effects" pedal. Wicked band...Today, all the girlie pop bands need 100 tons of equipment and they still sound like shit.

I saw Rush on their Power Windows tour, but I must have been high as hell because I'd totally forgotten about it until I stumbled upon the ticket stub.

Only about a million songs are based on "classical" music.

Re: The previous thread.

Perhaps Charles needs to add evolution, creationism, and intelligent design to the list of topics which will not be discussed on LGF. While I didn't wade all the way to the end, it became unfortunately apparent somewhere around comment 200 that we could not have a civil discussion. Once the personal attacks began, that was it. I bailed. Everything that could be said, had been said, and no need to keep repeating it. No one's mind was going to change, and to see long time posters disrespecting each other was most discouraging. I expect better.

Hey , stop interrupting the music thread! LOL!

I'm on iPhone so the app no worky. Charles links Rush? I always thought Charles would go for neo-soul, not shred and the progs. Not that I mind. I'd like to see some Haydn someday, just for us tippler types.

No! Me neither. He's so thin that he disappears and all you see is a guitar hanging in mid air.

But the sound....who was it that said he played too many notes? I never thought so. Ah, those were the days. I feel sorry for kids today. Especially there's an entire generation who know nothing about music except rap and hip hop...unbelievable.

Loved the Edgar Winter Group's "Frankenstein". I have heard it many, many times on Classic Rock stations paired with "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. They're totally different pieces of music, but fit together like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

Hey Charles, I'm still on Timeless2. I like guitar in it's many iterations. I also appreciate the dynamic shifting from left brain Stein thread to this right brained music appreciation.

I think Mandy asked if "Mr. Rush" had lost some weight. As you know he was a pretty thin guy. But nobody compares to Johnny Winter. He's the thinnest guitarist on the planet. Lucky if he measures 3 inches when he stands sideways. He always plays topless... to show off his tatoos.

Listen to SECOND WINTER if you get a chance. It's unlike any other Johnny Winter album.CD and is my favorite. You'll see 2 Johnny's on the cover...great cover. The original was a 3 sided double LP set. The 4th side of the 2nd LP was blank. I still have it in my closet. Now that was COOL!

Affinity or dislike for some types of music is like men's taste and women and women's taste in men. It's subjective. Consider that this thread may not be about amusement.

Charles may be trying to tell us something in following the highly contentious Stein thread with a music appreciation thread. The selections themselves may reflect a deeper thought process than random search.

re: #155 WhiteRasta

The best concert I have ever attended was back about 100 years ago...
Jarret Park Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Toots Hibbert. Peter Tosh. Bob Marley.

What a night! I got my pocket picked, twice that night.

What year was that? Jarrett Park was where I saw Sunsplash in '86, the only time I made it to Jamaica. Half Pint brought the sun up with this.

re: #175 Salem

*ahem* Uh,... Sure. Why not? ;)

Tom Sawyer. Red Barchetta. Malignant Narcissism. Natural Science. They have a lot of interesting songs and titles.

Hmm, are you sure? Is there a YouTube for that?

Probably not, but this is pretty close.

re: #185 WhiteRasta

Wait, so that's how you got the lad-ees?

/confused.

LONDON — They had rehearsed the piece only once, but already the musicians at the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra were suffering. Their ears were ringing. Heads throbbed.

Tests showed that the average noise level in the orchestra during the piece, “State of Siege,” by the composer Dror Feiler, was 97.4 decibels, just below the level of a pneumatic drill and a violation of new European noise-at-work limits. Playing more softly or wearing noise-muffling headphones were rejected as unworkable.

So instead of having its world premiere on April 4, the piece was dropped. “I had no choice,” said Trygve Nordwall, the orchestra’s manager. “The decision was not made artistically; it was made for the protection of the players.”

The cancellation is, so far, probably the most extreme consequence of the new law, which requires employers in Europe to limit workers’ exposure to potentially damaging noise and which took effect for the entertainment industry this month.

But across Europe, musicians are being asked to wear decibel-measuring devices and to sit behind see-through antinoise screens. Companies are altering their repertories. And conductors are reconsidering the definition of “fortissimo.”

Alan Garner, an oboist and English horn player who is the chairman of the players’ committee at the Royal Opera House, said that he and his colleagues had been told that they would have to wear earplugs during entire three-hour rehearsals and performances.

“It’s like saying to a racing-car driver that they have to wear a blindfold,” he said.

Just ignore the music then. It's not good manners to insult your host, especially in such crude terms.

re: #196 MandyManners

What does your gown look like?

The full skirt is bronze organza over a silk underskirt--terrific swooshing! The bodice is a floral print with sequins. It's the kind of dress that can only be worn to a gala or ball; otherwise, it's just too much.

I've worn it just twice before. At the risk of being takcy (but I know I'm among friends), it cost more than my wedding dress, but I least I've gotten more wear out of it!

I'm crossing my fingers it doesn't rain, though.

It annoys me when people put apostrophes on verbs or on nouns when they intend the plural rather than the possessive.

re: #200 Ward Cleaver

Blazer in RIC, with respect, don't put apostrophes on verbs at all, and only put them on nouns to show possession, NOT to make them plural.

Yes, I see CFLs as being a transitional technology, like hybrid cars. Using filters to change the color temperature of the LEDs is the trick (so that you can have warm white, instead of the pure white or bluish-white of LEDs.

Thank you very much for you kind worlds. Believe it or not, it wasn't the breaking of the vows that hurt the most; it was his refusal to commit to repairing our marriage that did. I guess he wanted the freedom and mistress more than his honor and his wife and kids.

Oh, well, the boys and I are doing well and getting through, and I so appreciate you prayers and good thoughts.

Cool Not seeing many of them in store here in TX yet. I did buy some LED night light bulbs (1.7w) recently, but haven't tried them yet. The thing I like about LEDs is the fast startup, and the fact that they don't generate the kind of heat that even CFLs do.
