Several county/reel dances on and off today and right now the Duke of Perth, before that, it was the Eightsome Reel. I am going to a wedding tomorrow and the music will be traditional country/reel music/barn music. I use to be pretty good, but that I am old, I'll be lucky to be able to dance the Hole in the Wall. Perhaps I'll try the Duke of Perth. If I am really lucky, the Eightsome Reel. Then I will fall flat on my face. For those not familiar:

Peter Gabriel - So
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u6BesY5Do ... 7Bdu8Ourta
I haven’t heard this album in a long time - my only Peter Gabriel album. I got to thinking about all the great musicians that came out of Genesis: Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Mike Rutherford, Steve Hackett, etc. I didn’t care for Genesis’ progressive era, but warmed to their music on And Then There Were Three. I only put So on because I heard In Your Eyes while waiting for DW as I was sitting on a bench in an outside shopping center on a beautiful early spring day in New England.

Volare — Bobby Rydell
Re: What are you listening to now
On our last pre pandemic European trip, we visited Polignano e Mare in Italy, the hometown of the writer and original singer of Volare. We had no clue about this before stopping there in the late afternoon on our way back to our hotel in nearby Fasano. There were Volare signs and lyrics hung on banners across streets all over the city center and we wondered why. It was late November and there was a Christmas fair going on. It was magical. Highly recommended.

The Yes Album
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y6oPS4aLk8
Although Yes is referred to as a progressive band and, normally, I’m not a big fan of that genre, I really like this album. Back when it came out in 1971, I must have listened to it hundreds of times. Yes went through a lot of iterations, but this one (with Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Tony Kaye, and Bill Buford) was my favorite.

Essential Little Walter
Lately I’ve been playing a lot of Little Walter, I think he’s great. I downloaded this album from Apple Music onto my iPhone, then I beam it over to my car stereo as I’m tooling down the road. I like him a lot, his harp playing is so good. I read that he was second only to Muddy Waters at Chess Records.

It’s a good listen. Peter Green didn’t have the best life. Informative article from Rolling Stone on him.

Like you, I've listened to most of the songs from the album hundreds of times, but never owned the album. I bought their live album, Yessongs sometime in 1974, and it included most of the songs, and it was one of my favorites for years.
In a weird twist, we went to the St. Louis Symphony a few weeks ago when they were performing Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. A recording of the closing section of the suite is the first thing you hear on Yessongs before they segue into Siberian Khatru from Close to the Edge.

That’s the Rick Wakeman influence as he took piano lessons from a young age and at one time wanted to be a concert pianist. Apologies if you knew this.
Glad that you were able to get out to the symphony. We still haven’t done anything like that since Covid-19. We are going to restaurants, but try to go at off hours to avoid crowds.

Re: What are you listening to now
A few of Mozart's later symphonies (again!):
Haffner — No. 35
Linz — No. 36
Prague — No. 38
Jupiter — No. 41
The Linz symphony has been my favorite musical piece for quite some time, and I often have short (or longer) motifs as earworms that I thoroughly enjoy.
OTOH, decades ago, as a college freshman in some introductory music class, the instructor pretty much beat the Jupiter symphony to death. To this day, it's painful to listen to it, although it does seem that that effect is finally disappearing (somewhat, anyway).
I LOVE classical music and always have. I grew up with it playing in the background just about every moment someone was awake, unless we were needing to watch/listen to something else (such as Rocky and Bullwinkle, of course).
But they destroyed Mozart's Jupiter symphony and also some of Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream. Alas, I can't imagine the damage done to those who were hoping to be (or were hoped to be) introduced to the enjoyment of classical music.
Also, our occasional accompanist for our opera lessons gave a brilliant live Bach recital on Wednesday night. Thank goodness the Conservatory really tries to get almost everything of note (oooh... pun not intended) on Zoom these days.
Then we switched to a live Zoom faculty performance from Juilliard, with quartets by Mozart and Brahms.
Ahhhhhh!
But it's not the same as having great seats to be there for the performances. We really miss those.

Very nice. I’ve listened now to each of these symphonies but first had to look up their numbers as I did not have them memorized. The Linz I think is also my favorite of these, it has a certain sweetness, followed by the Jupiter which is the one I’m most familiar with.ResearchMed wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 7:12 pm A few of Mozart's later symphonies (again!):

OTOH, decades ago, as a college freshman in some introductory music class, the instructor pretty much beat the Jupiter symphony to death. To this day, it's painful to listen to it, although it does seem that that effect is finally disappearing (somewhat, anyway).
I LOVE classical music and always have. I grew up with it playing in the background just about every moment someone was awake, unless we were needing to watch/listen to something else (such as Rocky and Bullwinkle, of course).
But they destroyed Mozart's Jupiter symphony and also some of Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream. Alas, I can't imagine the damage done to those who were hoping to be (or were hoped to be) introduced to the enjoyment of classical music.
Also, our occasional accompanist for our opera lessons gave a brilliant live Bach recital on Wednesday night. Thank goodness the Conservatory really tries to get almost everything of note (oooh... pun not intended) on Zoom these days.
Then we switched to a live Zoom faculty performance from Juilliard, with quartets by Mozart and Brahms.
Ahhhhhh!
But it's not the same as having great seats to be there for the performances. We really miss those.

Haffner — No. 35
Linz — No. 36
Prague — No. 38
Jupiter — No. 41
Apologies! I should have followed Boglehead protocal and given the ticker number as well as the name.
I'll try to remember in the future.
(I'll edit my original post to add the numbers. Thanks.)
Yes, that Linz... there's just something about it....! SomeTHINGS about it!
Perhaps someday I'll tire of it, but that's not even close now. I could have it repeat and repeat (and I admit I've occasionally done so...)
