I have a few van Beinum recordings I enjoy. I never thought of buying this many

david johnson

If you could have any recording (available or out of print) for your Christmas present, what would it be?

david johnson

I listened to it yesterday. Thank you for the recommendation. I do not remember ever hearing it before.

david johnson

I enjoyed that. The buildup section (beginning 9:31 here) is my usual 'test' for liking a Sibelius 1. This one is fine.

david johnson

I caught that video on the news.

david johnson

I have performed his dance sets and enjoyed them.

david johnson

And a blessed Thanksgiving to you, too

david johnson

Happy Thanksgiving to all here

I have begun the day working through the Dorati/LSO Tchaikovsky symphony recordings. The wife has made pumpkin pie using the pumpkins we grow. Come have a slice!

david johnson

But what is to become of that grand Jessica Simpson Christmas album??

david johnson

I read of these events and wonder - how many patients those staff members saved last year? This idea doesn't make sense to me. Just test them weekly and keep them working.

This very fine young trumpet player has announced that she is undergoing treatment for cancer. She has several YouTube vids available.

I do hope this works. I have a dear friend who needs this. Her first transplant has 'given out' after some years. My brother-in-law passed away from kidney problems, as did another man I know.

david johnson

Thank you for posting that article. I have only a few of his recordings, but I enjoy them.

david johnson

Once again, 'woke' is really unwoke.

david johnson

They work. We used one once.

david johnson

NO! We fought that war already and killed bunches of our own people. Then we made up and lead the world.

Joke: my favorite was that Zuckerberg forgot to click 'I'm not a robot' when he activated F/B yesterday.

david johnson

I have only tow Furty recordings: Tristan/Isolde(EMI), and Schubert 9/Haydn ?(DG). I like them both, but never bought more of him for some reason.

david johnson

I first heard Enescu's music when I was in high school and have always enjoyed it. Last month I was at the clinic for a checkup. A new intern came into the exam room. She was a student at the medical school down the road. As we visited I discovered she was Romanian. Her eyes brightened when I spoke ...

Those were good reads, thank you. I read "The Marble Man" some years ago. I wasn't much. I haven't read the Freeman books, but I have scanned through them. Catton and Foote present more sensible understandings of the General. I will never agree with some contemporary views. They are just wrong. Ever...

All are welcome to come to the center with me

Despite whatever they say, both hard-right and progressives care only about themselves and will gladly sacrifice those who disagree. Trust neither extreme.

david johnson

The 'Bugler's Dream' on that album is super!

david johnson

Lance, I have always enjoyed the Sibelius 1 more than his others. My first hearing of it was on a 78rpm album when I was in the 11th grade. Stockholm radio symphony, I think. It's around here somewhere

david johnson

I watched the Dies Irae of that. Great!

david johnson

As a trumpeter, I greatly enjoyed. May I share it on my f/b trumpet page? Sadly, Louis Armstrong's 'second home' in New Orleans did not survive Hurricane Ida.

david johnson

I grew up knowing and using the term 'cattywampus'.

I've been around a couple of floods. May God bless Tennessee, and now the hurricane victims.

david johnson

I do remember them.

I have seen that one.

david johnson

I have seen the first three w/Mel Gibson. Lots of action and craziness

david johnson

I just gave that Dvorak a listen on YouTube - Jorda/New London Symphony on Richmond (budget London). There were a few rough moments, but there were also some balances that were nice. I noticed two rhythmic 'differences' that are not what I usually hear.

david johnson

I recall when a Dvorak 9 LP was available. I have never heard it, though.

david johnson

I'll have to think on that. Right now, I believe the 'powers' were in the wrong. She was obviously good enough to serve in the section for 30 years.

david johnson

A sparkling, sprightly work-his first (IIRC) in the neo-classical style. It dates from....1921(?) or thereabouts. Here's the cover to look for on Spotify:

I still have that LP

david johnson

Nope, the founders were traitors to the king, period. Many rebels viewed the feds in the same way.

david johnson

They were the same type of 'traitors' as were Geo. Washington. Jefferson, and the whole founding father group. I do not buy the 'lost cause' feeling, but I abhor the revisionist Civil War ideas that have been floating around for several years now.

david johnson

?? Some of you agree that white parents should sign a pledge to not enroll their children in any of the top 50 universities/colleges so non-whites can attend instead ??

david johnson

How many of you recall the AM radio broadcast, Music 'til Dawn? I believe it was heard on the clear-channel stations and was aired through the wee-hours of the morning. American Airlines sponsored the program. I would awaken early in my high school days and listen to it. It's where I was first expos...

david johnson

classical music — “racism disguised as art,” : I've never thought of it that way. I've met way too many fine players of various ethnicities to even consider the idea. I will never play as well as one of my black section mates did!! I often consider my music world beyond only 'classical'. If I want t...

david johnson

I have ordered the Julliard String Quartet recording of the Beethoven quartets. I already have the Guarneri recordings. A few more will not hurt

david johnson

I saw that one. Tiger 131 was used in the movie. I believe it is the last operational Tiger tank around and is in The Tank Museum. The museum also provided a Sherman M1 for that flick.

david johnson

Right now it's Ralph Vaughn-Williams Norfolk Rhapsody #1, City of Birmingham Orchestra/Tjeknavorain.

david johnson

Drat...I only have $4,999,999,999

david johnson

LOL...are the pix of asses and pig dumps self-descriptive of my opponents in this discussion?

david johnson

I have most of those recordings already, but your box is a superb collection!

david johnson

All will be well now that Rutgers U has removed the Walt Whitman statue

. Lee and Stonewall were Americans. I do not believe many here comprehend the state-federal status during the 1860s.

david johnson

"Come on, the statues of Stonewall and Lee are themselves a Southern rewriting of history thru triumphalist 1921 and 1924 eyes." ... you are too smart to believe that. The rewrite is now going on, and had been for some years. Lenin is Lenin, regardless of what property he's on. Do some of us here al...

david johnson

" I view with some contempt the rewriting of history through 2021 eyes. " Preach it!! Lee and Stonewall should have stayed. Is that sweet bronze statue of Lenin still in Seattle? Showed up in 1988, I think.

david johnson

I have heard that. Didn't northern California make the same 'noise' recently?

david johnson

I do not currently care for this idea, but the states should be able to discuss/determine their own fate regarding the idea.
