Bach is not a favorite of mine, but I enjoyed this. Do you hear what might be called jazz in in? I thought I did at times, so surfed online and found many references to Bach and jazz and also Beethoven.

I don't hear jazz per se but I love JS Bach and this organ piece is a classic. Baroque is one of my favorites in the classical genre. In classical music, there is something called a "cadenza" that allows for some improvisation but I think that is a later period e.g. Beethoven.

In modern times, there have been some jazz/classical fusion groups as well that blend both.

Thanks for this background. The cadenza is interesting and would seem a chance for the composer of classics to have a little fun improvising. And I've read of musicians who can't help but improvise - it just comes to them and off they go, to our enjoyment.

Thanks for this…listened to the whole interview with Victor. Such a talented humble likable person in addition to being one of the best bassists ever.

While checking this out noticed this dropped today. Cory featuring Mark Lettieri, “Concrete”…excellent!

The recent death of country star Mickey Gilley reminded me of...Buddy Holly. A song Holly wrote and recorded, "True Love Ways," did well and was included in the film, The Buddy Holly Story,, but became popular again when Gilley sang it better (IMO). Holly wrote the sweet melody and lyrics for his wife, soon to be his widow. Here's Gilley's version:

Yesterday while scraping and priming my pressure treated wood stairs, I put on one of my custom stations on LiveOne, formerly Slacker Radio. I don’t know why more people don’t listen to LiveOne because I really like it. I had my Beats Studio Buds on, I heard no scraping, road noise or lawnmowers, and in about 4 hours I never heard a song that I didn’t like. I set up the station years ago and have it playing old and unfamiliar songs. I have it set for 320kbps, pay $48 once a year, and along with Amazon HD music, that’s all I need for streaming music. Yesterday I heard: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Yardbirds, Joe Jackson, Cream, David Gilmore, The Smiths, Lou Reed, Los Straitjackets, Aimee Mann, The Kinks, The Sisters of Mercy, Smoking Joe Kubek, Son Seals, The Church, Smashing Pumpkins, The Cure, Elvis Costello, etc., etc.

Beautiful, haunting. It reminds me of Beethoven's 7th, the well-known Allegretto, the similar tempo and the way the harmony weaves in and out.

There is a Time — The Dillards with Maggie Peterson, on The Andy Griffith Show. The Dillards play The Darlings on that show and Peterson plays Charlene Darling. It’s a Dillards original, as far as I know. Maggie Peterson died on May 15.

Nice, bookmarked for this week. Familiar with Puskkin through Santos and Gladwell but had no idea they did musician interviews.

Speaking of interviews, the new episode of Cory & The Wongnotes dropped yesterday and he is featuring Billy Strings.

Episode is over an hour long but new song collab is at 17:46 mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4BstgqvI_Q
As another commenter said, really reminds me of the Dixie Dregs....

The interview starts at the 29:55 mark and is the best interview I have seen so far of Billy...at the very end a little jam between them. Good stuff!!

Dave Mason - Alone Together on Then Again Live at XM Radio
I can’t find a link to this show and really can’t remember how I downloaded it (I have it on a CD), but here’s a link to another Dave Mason XM performance:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AR2j9JeuJk4

After listening to that, I was inspired to hear Traffic Mr Fantasy
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qLkEoo8W7sE
It’s funny how the mind plays tricks with your memories because I remember this album as being much better than it is.
Then the second Traffic album
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jpMVnqHEZ7Q
There are still a few clunkers on their second album, but I like it better than the first.

A beautiful chorale composition (Da pacem Domine) by noted Estonian composer Arvo Pärt.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOpa5Ec3i4s

"Da pacem Domine (Give peace, Lord) is a choral composition by Arvo Pärt on the Latin prayer for peace Da pacem Domine, first composed in 2004 for four voices."

"The work was commissioned by Jordi Savall for a peace concert in Barcelona on 1 July 2004.[1] Pärt began the composition two days after the 2004 Madrid train bombings, in memory of the victims.[2] It was first recorded on 29 March 2005 by the Hilliard Ensemble in St. Gerold, Austria.[3] In Spain, it has been performed annually to commemorate the victims."

For about 90 minutes I've been listening to the Vanguard on hold music. I wish I knew more about music to analyze it. Some flute with some harp. Clarinet??? Once is a while it sounds like it is going in a church hymn direction. Very repetitive. Occasionally, gets blaringly loud and then calms down. Now acoustic guitar with the faintest hint of James Taylor Country Road. Overall there's a feeling of mildly pleasant purgatory :(

Oh! And some Bread. If a picture paints a thousand words...but then fades into something else that is sad and meandering.

You can use the Shazam app to identify the music. Just let Shazam listen to it briefly and likely it will provide an answer.

Professor Longhair influenced many musicians, one was Dr. John (The Night Tripper). You might even say that without Professor Longhair there wouldn’t have been a Dr. John.

Nicolas -- awesome clip. So that's how you do it.

In addition to Dr. John, I know he was a major influence on Fats Domino and James Booker...and just about anyone from that New Orleans scene. Though I get the feeling that Professor Longhair was one of a kind and you can't quite capture his quirkiness, intensity, or just plain essence. It's just him being Professor Longhair. Went through a James Booker phase a while back. Haven't delved deep into Dr. John yet with the exception of Gris-Gris, which I like quite a bit.

Nice. I really like the harmonies in the chorus.
