I invite you to meet Amira---Amira was eleven when this was made, she is now 17 :clap:
Many times the music is surpassed by the message---this is one in which both are noteworthy and the video is poignant. May God bless all those who struggle with demons in their life and their angels who continue to love them :clap:
for those that like upright bass: Donna Meszar. she is now part of "the discoveries"
been listening to her and them for a few years. enjoy!

This is so sad and beautiful. Even more so when you know the story behind it. Rodrigo wrote it for his baby who was still born. He almost lost his wife. The strumming is the beating of his wife’s heart. The louder pieces are his anger at God for taking the life of his baby. At the end there is acceptance as to what is Gods will, no matter how cruel. The strumming also stops as the baby is born and the music becomes peaceful. It’s is a very profound and moving piece. Powerful and deep.
"Gabriel's Oboe"
Some instruments, simply by their tonal qualities, invoke a mode in me. When this begins to play I am moved to change my listening from passive to active :clap:
Many times there is some unseen and unknown order to the music that I listen to. Some is simply "there" in the background, at other times there is something that makes me sit back and turn my attention to what is playing.
Last Tuesday was an annual celebration in the Catholic Church in rememberance of those who have died and I have been thinking often of my best friend who passed away 7 years ago. This morning I was "grabbed" by this song by Russell Watson performed in London's Royal Albert Hall.
I then took the time to send an email to a long list of friends who may have the same reaction to this that I had. I received the following response from one of those:
The lyrics:Quote:
Hi Dave,
Just wanted to thank you for forwarding that beautiful song. Of course, I am still crying. My cousin's son who was 37 just died on Friday evening of COVID and left a wife and 3 children. The funeral is tomorrow. I am going to read it at the gravesite.
Again, many thanks. Hope to see you this coming Saturday.

Someone To Remember Me
Russell Watson
I hope you see as you look down
All of this love gathered around
I hope you hear what people say
I hope you know the role you play
You were my rock
You were my shield
This space you leave
No-one can fill
You held the room
You cast a spell
You'll always be remembered well
And when my days have come and gone
I hope I leave more right than wrong
I want to feel this love I see
When I am gone I hope there'll be someone to remember me
Though you're not here
Not here with me
A part of you will always be
I'll hear your laughter
I'll see your smile
I'll feel you near, once in a while
And when my days have come gone
I hope I leave more right than wrong
I want to feel this love I see
When I am gone I hope there'll be someone to remember me
And when the days have come and gone
I hope I'll leave more right than wrong
I want to feel this love I see
When I am gone I hope there'll be some to remember
Someone to remember me
for those who like rockabilly and some psycho-billy.... bo might like these guys...i give you the reverend horton heat.

The second movement of Rodrigo’s Concerto de Aranjuez is an all time favorite and is truly exquisite in the hands of a gifted classical guitarist as posted by Dave. It has also been the inspiration of some phenomenal jazz interpretations.
This version by an all-star group of jazz performers on a Jim Hall (guitar) album is one of my go-to’s, and I may have mentioned it before, but I do not think I have posted it before here. The work of the inestimable Chet Baker on trumpet with his creaky intimate tone squeezing out every note and Paul Desmond’s delicious alto sax pass as the group each take their turns mesmerizes me every time I listen. All members of the group were and are jazz all-stars.

Good to see you my friend :cool:
This is a fellow just now coming into his own in the Chris Stapleton vein after long, hard years on the road.

i am always amazed with keller williams. 6 string sounds like a 12...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti8GXEf9JIY
Different strokes :cool:
The soloist is playing the "nai" or panflute, normally of 20 pipes he has expanded the instrument and its range to as many as 30 pipes. The soloist is Gheorghe Zamfir, a Romanian and considered to be the highest master of this instrument.
I find the sound haunting in the same way as the oboe can be.
Take a few minutes to put down what you are doing and simply listen to the words and let the light get in.
"There is a crack, a crack, in everything, that is how the light gets in!"
RIP sir--and thank you :clap:
I've posted this before but here is what I believe is the finest rendition of "Hallelujah"---yes even better than Leonard Cohen's own.
have you heard morgan james? not saying one is better than the other, they both have pipes.

also this one:

Thank you---she is new to me and now I have another talent to explore :cool:
glad to help! glad you enjoyed!
Javier Mas on the Archilaud (12 string instrument)
He often toured (as in this video) with Leonard Cohen. I think this is about as close to perfect as this instrument can be played. :clap:
Not too late to enjoy master musicians sending us great Christmas music is it?
Alison Krauss & Yo-Yo Ma here.
https://youtu.be/yxDZjg_Igoc
Two of my favorite people :flower::clap:
Christmas music is the reason I have to quit listening to the radio somewhere around Thanksgiving each year. At that time I chose to stream my own choice in music until after Christmas.

Those darn snobbish European elitists :rolleyes2:
Here is something totally different!
https://youtu.be/e4McVxHYg24Quote:
Charles Berthoud, a talented bassist who can play a mean one-string bass, added cello strings to his electric bass guitar. And then he beautifully played it with a bow. Always experimenting, Berthoud is a true inspiration for any creative person, musician or not.
Very interesting----thank you :cool: :clap:
Getting a bit older but still had the pipes.

i like it !!! it reminded me a bit of dead south, not completely sound wise, one being a soloist verses the other a band, but not far off.

most excellent rendition of a punk song by a non punk band and incredible vocalist

Amazon music served this up for me to enjoy. I've never heard it before and must have repeated it 6 times so far. Awesome percussion!
https://youtu.be/iN3KsbnQZxU
i love curtis mayfield!! well done mike :)
i have been listening to donvan frankenreiter lately (it's a heck of a name) he is mellower than curtis and does not quite have the percussion, but enjoyable none the less. give him a shot:cool:

This is the weekend . I'll just leave this here .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmfeNq5x5aQ
I suspect this might already be here----but I can't pass up sharing this. I think it is one of Alison Krauss's better vocal collaborations. :hatoff:
This is the most powerful version of this song I have ever heard. His voice just nails it. Turn up the volume
https://youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l4
this is quite possibly the finest drum solo i have ever heard, and i am not a big fan of drum solo's. it is neil peart of rush. i beg you all to listen as this is not your average drumb solo. lots of buddy rich influence plus mr. peart's spin on things. heck, just look at his drum kit. i have not yet seen his equal but would like to. neil peart is unquestionably one of the best drummer/percussionists there has been. and yes, his drum kit spins.
may he rest in peace!

i edited the link to a revew of mr peart. i did this because it shows more viewing angles of his playing. you can skip the first 50 seconds
