That is sick! Even though I’m not qualified to make that remark. I celebrated when I could play chop sticks all the through!

By the way you worded that, it sounds like you posted some of your work?

A symphony in 4 movements. About 40 minutes all together.

And thought it was hard on the Piano...

There's so much young talent out there. My calves ache just watching the drummers footwork.

Haha! Never! LOVE "Classical" piano but the time needed to learn/practice and plain old keep up with the pieces is VERY time consuming. 4-6 months to learn a few pieces, at least for me, is too much. Have a cd of my solo recitals from back in my early 30s but thats it. Brewing is a better fit!

That is the truth! At first I thought they sped up the video but realized her kicks were in time...holy crap!

 

[Gravitysucks]

Some more young talent...I think she was 14 at the time of the first video.


And 17 in this one.

She almost looks bored. Like "Gawd Dad not again!" I'm not sure if it just pisses me off kids playing so damn good or I have a sliver of hope for the future.

Not music but appropriate..

Random Sound Cloud...4:20 style

Electronic? Always wanted to do that, create an electronic Piano Concerto.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

4:20..duh

I haven't smoked pot in 45 years but I can remember as a teenager sitting around with my friends getting baked and listening to Cheech and Chong's Big Bambu album and trying to roll a massive joint with the huge rolling paper that came in the album. Brings back some memories.

Pot was never my thing but enjoyed the C&C movies. Somehow a movie about Craft beer (not Canadian beer or beer bong movies) wouldn't quit have the same punch. Just a bunch of hipters talking out of their azz doesn't seem entertaining. [emoji39]

One of my top 2 favorite Beethoven Piano Sonatas. It was actually his favorite of the 32 sonatas written.

This might fall into the embarrassing category but I've always liked the theme song to the movie "Patton". Not sure why but it has stuck with me since seeing the movie back in 1970.



Which inevitably leads me down the rabbit hole to the music that was played in my house when I was a kid.

 

[BongoYodeler]

A duet by two legends. No idea why, but this song has been in my head all day today. Strange, since I haven't heard it in at least 40 years.

 

[Gravitysucks]

Another old favorite.

And a version of the same song by a 14 year old French kid in his bedroom.

I love them both.

Parents had good taste!

One more before I crawl out of the rabbit hole. ELP's version of Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man"

Can't believe these three musicians aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

My parents had a narrated record of the story of Peter and the Wolf with the music that was a bedtime story for me as a child. I think it really helped shape my appreciation of music early on. My Mom was also a choral singer and my Dad played guitar so I was surrounded by music growing up.

It plays a part for sure. I always loved watching dads hands move up and down the keyboard...id just hang back a watch even into my adult years. Mom hated my dad and thus anything to do with piano...so when living with her there was no culture. When I started piano lessons in my 30s, my piano teacher commented on how I had "Incredible musical memory". I chalked it up to all those years of brain formation listening to dad. Learned Mozarts Turkish Rando in 4days...ahhh those were the days.

Nothing good to post...bouncing around tonight.

AI generated Death Metal...24/7

AI generated Death Metal...24/7

My music tastes are pretty eclectic and I'm fairly open minded but that is beyond me. I like their description. "livestream 24/7 to infinity. Read more about our research into eliminating humans from metal"

I was more interested in the AI stuff then the "death metal" want to be. Goggle had a thing where you type in a few notes on a staff and AI creates a few bars of a Bach tune...thought that was kinda cool. Here's some toned down Metal for you...[emoji6]

1st a little story. Dad got remarried and had 2 boys. Went to visit one time back in CA after many years of being in Austin. Dad had built his studio by then. I asked who's drum set? He calls the youngest brother, 13 at the time, to play. I'm like ok...I'll play along. He sat down put on head phones on and played the most precise/fast metal I've ever heard. Jaw dropping precision. Where'd the hell he get this talent??

Anyway this video is posted to listen to my brothers playing, the only one I'm aware of. Like every one else in our ultra talented family we completely underachieve.

New song from Alan Parsons' latest, and probably final, album. Neat to look for all the nuggets from his past in this video, including his work with the Beatles and Pink Floyd.

I've always liked Alan Parsons. A version of Sirius/Breakaway from the World Liberty Concert was the first song I ever put on my iPod and it one of the few songs that's still there all these years later.
