Us, too…although Hubby and I were going to make the huge effort to go up to Asheville (~4hrs one way) to see Robin Bullock March 29th in the Lounge at Isis…derailed by you-know-what.
Take care.

Oh, I’ll have to look up that book! Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Annika.
I recently finished an Indie book, “Into the Wilderness” by Deborah Lee Luskin. It also has musical references that I enjoyed. The prose was effectively utilitarian in bringing forward the intertwining of a life’s story within the context of a musician’s gift of performing a piece of music.
Gaming background music is interesting – I actually clicked on one of your son’s YouTube gaming ‘covers’ awhile back…I feel his “classical” playing/arrangements of them offers a gateway to music other than ‘pop’ for his generation…always a good thing!
🙂

Good point, Ally.

Somehow, I’m not at all surprised by that, Andy!

The process of creation is intriguing to myself, as well. Thanks for ‘tuning in’, Jane. (yep, pun intended!)

HA! Wouldn’t that have been something?
And just to expound a bit here, the ‘other’ music was/is often what’s termed ‘ancient’ music (pre-Renaissance) and also there’s the whole line of influence of ethnomusicology (ie-Bartok) with indigenous music…
But for now, I’m happy to settle on anything the Beatles has to offer – care to join me in a walk down Abbey Road?

Janis, it’s a joy to read your comment. The banjo bouncing (love your visual) is exactly what draws me into this piece, also…makes my soul soar.
