Anybody watch the Grammys tonight?

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

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.

The NY Times called SPCO" the best ensemble of it’s kind in the USA" .
Steve is a great musician, there are also at least 5 other string players that, at least in sound, are every bit as good .
The Principal Viola player is out of this world , a Korean tiger.
After the great Gil Slaham finished the Mendelssohn few years ago he pivoted like a top.  ran to her and shook both her hands like a pump .

No joke, The Ordway Hall in St. Paul has best acoustics in USA .
