Anybody watch the Grammys tonight?

I was too busy listening to MUSIC on my analogue rig.  Sigh.  What am I missing?

I have never seen the Grammy Awards ever. I do not watch television, nor do I own one, but every time I hear the word Grammy, I think about an interesting event that I heard about that occurred a number of years ago. Maybe late 80's, or early nineties.  There was a category that had something to do with heavy metal. Maybe best band, or album. Not too sure, but Metalica  was bested by Jethro Tull. WHAT?? Jethro Tull in a heavy metal category!!  Kinda makes me laugh at such miss categorization from an awards show that is music specific.

You missed a lot of real ugly noise. Most of the music honored (not all, but most) was garbage. I don't count rap and hip hop as music. It is noise.

Roberjerman, you are too old if you’ve not heard of Bruno Mars. The guy is a wonderful, joyful, soulful singer/songwriter/dancer. Definitely the new “king of pop” very reminiscent of Micheal Jackson. Have you heard of him, or do I have to go back to Elvis? Does that mean I listen to him all the time or buy his albums? No, but you can’t help dancing whenever his music starts. Not that I could see many old farts from this forum doing anything but waiting for their tubes to warm up before playing some Mozart.

I second the thumbs up for the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. The Concertmaster, Steven Copes is a regular performer/teacher here in Colorado Springs at our Colorado College Summer Music Festival.

Steven is the complete package, sound/feeling/technique and is the master of a wide repertoire. We have had the pleasure of meeting Steven and hearing him in a nice sounding hall for several summers now...His playing continues to evolve and becomes more moving each year....unreal talent.
