| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister I have seen Yuja Wang live several times and I will see her again soon. I met a violinist in the L.A. Phil the first time I saw her in a short, sexy dress. The violinist said that they don't talk about what piece they're playing when ... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister Interesting about the speaker floating in water. The waves it creates look like record grooves. I'm sure you've all made a paper cone and put a needle through it, then played it on an old beatup record. The paper cone translates the g... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @bernadie5317 @mahgister I am enjoying pieces of Africa. I am also posting a youtube recording of Missa Luba. It is a very old recording. I've had i with me it seems my entire life. If you haven't heard it, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/w... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister Yes, I’ve read her early on. I think we are now entering a very patriarchal period with all these strong-men autocrats around the world. Should make my book more popular if only I can finish it. Back to music, I am posting what I thi... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister I apologize if I am being short with you or seem to be dismissing you. I have been doing research for this novel for fifteen years. I have had to learn an art of researching for my purposes. At first, I tried to use source material, b... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister Almost every book is too old. Here are three data points that mark history: Enheduanna, the daughter of Sargon of Akkad is the first known poet (circa 2300 BCE). Her poems were written about the lowering of the goddess Inanna below th... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister I am in the middle of three books, all dealing with different aspects of what I'm talking about. I'm not sure I'll get to your articles. Maybe one. The thing I think I haven't gotten across to you is that I do not want a strictly fem... | |
| Your favorite obscure song Kim Carnes (obscure singer) "The First Cut is the Deepest." I heard it first by her and she sounded like a female Rod Stewart. I'm pretty sure she was known for "Bette Davis Eyes." | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister I'll have to go back and pay closer attention to that movement. The book I am reading on consciousness is called "Gallileo"s Error." Gallileo was a mathematician who wanted to describe everything mathematically. He was the first, per... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister Thank you for the book suggestions. The more I dive into this, the more I realize how many other people have delved into this subject before me. Back to music, since that is what this forum is about. I pulled up Tchaikovsky's name on... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister Thank you. I wrote that poem so long ago, I could not do it now. Since I write prose, my poetry brain is rusty. And although my French was never good, I've pretty much lost the little I had. When I traveled around the world in 1968, I... | |
| Your favorite obscure song "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt. Extremely moving lyrics. | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister Since you are French speaking I'm posting a poem I translated from Baudelaire. I am not very fluent in French and it took me quite a while. But if you look up the French original, you will see all the work I did. I did not like the sin... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister I think you and I overlap on our ven diagrams sometimes, but not always. I like great geniuses, other times I pull out an album for a different reason. I don't at all think of where the music I want to listen to sits in the pantheon o... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @stuartk Yes, I did see PBS American Masters about her. @mahgister Roberta Flack and Marian Anderson are two different types of singers in my opinion. I think of Roberta Flack almost like a jazz singer. Marian Anderson is a different kind of ... |
