1:09 am
m9f9l
mab, it played on the radio when I was little, and the announcer gve the wrong title, so my mom called and corrected him. He said "what a terrible name for such a lovely piece." so it's a little family lore :D
1:09 am
cybernan
have that one also
1:09 am
mab
oh nan - what instrument do you play?
1:11 am
mab
it is a little abrupt, but surprised an announcer didn't get it right. funny. and yay for mom.
1:11 am
cybernan
used to play a violin - but haven't touched for over 40 years -- bow warped after sitting in the case for so long in the same position and I don't feel like putting out $800 for a new one
1:12 am
m9f9l
It was the college station
1:12 am
mab
oh gosh - that's so great. I love the strings so much.
1:12 am
m9f9l
Oh no!! Poor violin chan!
1:13 am
m9f9l
Sorry.. youtube channel reference
1:14 am
mab
I love the whole thing. great podcast is sticky notes - a conductor walks listeners through pieces of music. love it.
1:14 am
m9f9l
Two australian men are bringing classical music to an audience that some wouldn't have listened to it otherwise. Pretty cool. Twoset violin
1:14 am
mab
oh I love those guys m9191!
1:14 am
m9f9l
Oh cool, I'll have to check out the sticky notes
1:15 am
mab
once the penalty was writing on twitter how much the loser loves viola. funny.
1:15 am
cybernan
also the pegs have dried and shrunk so they are too loose to hold - tried rosin but that didn't work. Can't buy new ones because the instrument is about 150 years old or more and they need to be hand made. It was given to me by a friend of my grandmothers - it had belonged to the friends husband and had come with them from Germany -- that's as far back as I know it's history.
1:16 am
mab
that's just fascinating, nan.
1:16 am
m9f9l
How interesting nan. Too bad you can't get it into playing shape.
1:16 am
m9f9l
twoset sometimes does things on their violin repair guy. Fascinating
1:17 am
cybernan
I could - but it would be very expensive to do so, m9
1:17 am
hokie carla
reminds me of a Charlie Daniels' song called "Talk to Me Fiddle". look up the lyrics.
1:17 am
m9f9l
So it's nickname could be lautrec. hehe. too loose..
1:19 am
mab
i like to hear violinists talk about violins, which great musician played what. strad or del gesu, etc.
1:19 am
mab
i can't even play the recorder.
1:20 am
m9f9l
My Dad said he could only play the mantlepiece.
1:20 am
m9f9l
Or sometimes he would say the linoleum
1:21 am
hokie carla
I can play the recorder and the flute
1:22 am
m9f9l
I like my alto recorder
1:22 am
m9f9l
But I don't play it much
1:22 am
mab
cool carla. i start and stop trying a lot and worry about the neighbors hearing.
1:22 am
cybernan
also play the recorder - it was part of the music curriculum when I was teaching elementary school
1:23 am
m9f9l
I can somewhat sightread for the piano
1:23 am
cybernan

1:23 am
m9f9l
Mostly I sing
1:24 am
m9f9l
I got a ukulele but I learn something and then don't poke at it for a while and forget it all again :)
1:24 am
hokie carla
my dad gave me a fiddle several years ago to learn (he & my oldest brother played in old time bluegrass bands for years). I learned a couple of easy songs but didn't stick with it. violin/fiddle is hard to pick up in your 40s.
1:24 am
mab
i'd like to take music theory class. not sure i'd keep up when it comes to key changes and a million other things.
1:24 am
m9f9l
I'm teaching one student in voice right now, but it's hard during tax season to find time for things.
1:25 am
cybernan
I think I would be starting all over again at 80 - practically impossible!
1:26 am
hokie carla
you all might like a podcast called Strong Songs. That guy knows so much about music theory I feel so stupid about it.
1:26 am
mab
if you love it...
1:26 am
m9f9l
And they still won't let us start up again the choir at the senior home yet..
1:27 am

I really should go to sleep. good night, y'all.

1:31 am

The youtube video was called "Then Since the Savior Came". The low notes just tickle me... maybe she smokes?
1:31 am
mab
night nan. violin dreams to you.
1:33 am
mab
oy. what i'd give to sing or play something.
1:35 am
m9f9l
You can always become a better singer
1:36 am
mab
would be fun to try.
1:37 am
m9f9l
I really miss the big choir I was in years ago... we have a little choir in my little town, but I can't ever make the rehearsals because of the timing :(
1:39 am
mab
there was a babbler long ago, wren something, or something wren, and she and husband were in choirs and competed. Brits I think.
1:44 am
m9f9l
Fun. I've done a few things here in this town. I usually sing a piece in the Messiah every year.. but again, not since covid.
1:45 am
m9f9l
We did a Rogers and Hammerstein revue and that was so much fun.
1:46 am
m9f9l
But I've done a lot more at the tax office the last 4 years since my husband can't do his old job, so I just haven't had the time for that.
1:47 am
mab
musicals - also love. sondheim said that if hammerstein, who took him in as a kid, was a geologist, he would have become a geologist.
1:53 am
m9f9l
I still listed to the choir I was in on youtube because some of it is on there. The Christmas concert from 1993 was one of the best times I've had singing. https://tinyurl.com/3njpru4t
1:54 am
mab
will definitely look i up.
1:56 am
m9f9l
What do you generally listen to?
1:57 am
mab
classical almost always. jazz sometimes. brahms a favorite.
2:00 am
mab
all music's pretty great to me
2:02 am
m9f9l
I tend to go to certain pieces over and over..
2:04 am
m9f9l

2:13 am
m9f9l
How are you getting along?
2:14 am
mab

2:14 am
m9f9l
Same.. but now I'm listening to music :)
2:15 am
mab
what's playing?
2:17 am
m9f9l
Just finished ebben ne andro lontana from the Diva movie. And now Brahms: Wie Melodien zieht es mir, since you mentioned Brahms.
2:18 am
mab
so good. remembering that movie. radio has schubert, symph 2.
2:21 am
m9f9l
Ah, I think I'll listen to that next then! Frankfurt radio symphony. I love youtube.
2:22 am
m9f9l
Such a pompous beginning :)
2:23 am
m9f9l
I should add this one to my wake up list. Along with Liszt.
2:24 am
m9f9l
got any sleepy recommendations?
2:26 am
m9f9l
I guess I could go with your Yo-Yo Ma Bach
2:42 am
mab
oh yes. ma's last suites. lurve bach and that recording.
2:46 am
mab
bach, get outta here. if heifetz was god's fiddler, bach was practically god's voice.
2:47 am

or nina simone or kiri te kanawa.
