Ok, give me a few minutes. Was just on the phone with my wife.
Maybe this?
Pappy, or anybody - ever gone to a symphony concert? I haven't. I'm not ashamed to admit I wouldn't mind getting dressed up in a Tux (it would be rented) and my wife dressed up in a beautiful evening gown. A carriage ride to a sypmhony concer hall. What symphony? Not really sure, probably Vivaldi, or Beethoven maybe. Pachelbels' Canon in D would be bliss.
My favorite classical concerto. Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto 2.
There are 3 movements to this concerto, with the second being my favorite. Eric Carmen wrote the popular All By Myself in the 70's, based on the theme from this concerto. If you listen to the concerto all the way through (9:00 and beyond), and you're familiar with the Carmen song, you'll definitely hear the similarity.

PP and Dan, thanks for sharing some classical music. I enjoy it in small doses and know next to nothing about it.
My limited exposure to it growing up is all cartoon related - Fantasia, Peter and the Wolf, bugs bunny 'kill the rabbit'...I still have no idea of composers and think 'which cartoon did this music go to?' when I hear familiar classical music.
I'm not sure what you mean by being a toothpick brother, I'm just posting this stuff for those that are interested.
Here's something I think you know more about then I do. I borrowed a friends electric guitar so I can play around with rocksmith. That's a video game that can teach you to play the guitar. I know nothing about music. I'm trying to find out if I am likely to enjoy playing enough to spend the money on a decent guitar.
Dan is it just my phone or did your "wouldn't it be cool" thread get deleted? Hopefully it's just a glitch on my side. Edit: It looks like it is gone. How odd, I wonder what turn it could have taken.
Maybe PP knows how to bring it back?
Hey, have you seen my missing socks? I think they went to hang out with Dan's missing threads.

Ah crap. Had a phone argument with my wife. I'm a hard head, she's a hard head, Weve been married 11 years. We've been apart geograhphicaly for the last three. Work reasons. There are times I want to hire LRB.. But it's not all her, it's me too. I'm not the easiest person to deal with.
Is there room for one more in this night talk?
Brahahahaha
Freddy Mercury. The genius of Queen. He was gay, I throw that out there in case you didn't know. Queen made some of the greatest music in this world in my opinion. Not doing a gay rights parade here but will say it doesn't matter to me what a persons personal sexual preference is as far as I'm concerned. People are people. See good in them or take them apart based of your own beliefs. Mine is people are people no matter. Im being a bit preachy I guess. I have personal experience with family that doesnt flow with whats expected of them because of their gender.
Not sure Im being clear here. Im not gay. But if I were? Nobody has the right to judge. Bible and all that Christian stuff ? If you go there do know God counted every hair on our head. He, if you believe in him, (I do) knew a person before they were born.
So all of us are children of God. A father, if he is a good one knows his children pretty well.

Arizona,
I listened to the entire song. Lost. Just me. I truly enjoyed the accoustic guitar towards the end.
Ha. I try to compare it to if you hadn't heard Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time until your were 40 or so. I'm sure you'd be like "what the hell was that???"
Give it a few days and listen to it again. It may grow on you. If not, search for "Brian May best guitar solo ever". No he is amazing. I think he is literally a rocket scientist as well...
Vman, you should have been cleaning your gun too.
Hope all the medical conditions are being resloved and you all are healthy.
I've been sending out resumes. I really thought I never would be doing that again after I landed this job but life changes. My wife doesn't like this area of the country, talked me into moving to Hawaii; of course shes been there now going on three years. Not a real fertile situation for a relationship.
I'm suppose to move this month but looks more realistic to be going next month. I'm a DOD contractor and our contract is under bid. I was actually kind of hoping a new bidder would get it and say sorry, you leave now. A few months of unemployment insurance would be convenient in the job change interim. But that isnt happening.
Im tired of living alone, I rented my house here in California out last September and have rented a room close to work since. Brewing, cooking, baking, building anything has been on hold the last 5 months. Im not woes me-ing, well maybe I am a bit. But Im ready for the move. My marriage has definitely not gained from the separation. We arent at our best to each other anymore to be honest. On the other hand my relationship with my kids has never been stronger.
Dan I hope all works out properly for you! I don't know you personally but have gained a quite a bit of perspective from your posts, your a good man and I'm sure every thing will be fine.
Not having a place to explore my creative side would definitely make Bob an unhappy boy as I love to brew, bake, cook and tinker with mechanical things.
God bless and best of wishes! For all I know we could be related.
