"A Thousand Kisses Deep" - Leonard Cohen; 'Ten New Songs'
Hey OAK.
...You've got yourself a gem there. I've got during his post Animals stint, jammin' with War.
BTW, right now B.B. king, is tellin me about his "Sweet little Angel"... Eat your heart out!
Strains of Music...
Right now, I'm listeng to Georg Friederick Handel's "Sonate II" being played on the flute, by my younger son, in his room.
I grew up on Rock and Roll, but my son has found artistic challenge in playing classical...
Kinda' sounds like "Family Ties"
Glad to hear your son has good taste, ferrous!
Thanks
Actually, my son has opened up my appreciation, for Jazz, as well. He has played Bass Sax in a Jazz band, Oboe and Viola in the orchestra, Princepal flute in the Jr. Symphony, and has given private recitals playing his flute with a pianist.
Like I said, I grew up on Rock and Roll, but I find it very pleasant to have the strains of a flute, filling the house with music.
I've just noticed that Andy has just left the musical score for "to venus and back tori amos" on my computer desk, so I imagine I'll be listen to this, soon.
Hi ferrous...... How wonderful, to have such a talented musician in your house. How old is your son? I played flute in Junior High (early 60's), and I still play my flute occasionally. I like to play Irish Jigs on my flute! The oboe is very difficult. Hats off to your son!! I hope he stays with his music.
Hi BillW...... Is this a new Leonard Cohen? Is he writing new songs now?
I'm listening to Bob Dylan's "Time Out Of Mind" CD..... When this CD first came out (1997), I played it non-stop for weeks! Love Bob Dylan!
James Taylor - "October Road"
Welcome to A2K ferrous!
Peace and Love - yes, it is new Leonard Cohen and IMHO is another Classic! The James Taylor album is new also. I have the Bob Dylan CD and had trouble in the begininng with it but have become quite attached to it now!
Carole Kings's "Tapestry". It has vivid memories from way back in my distant back pages.
Hi BillW...... after I posted the above message, I clicked over to Amazon.com and read the reviews for "Ten New Songs" by Leonard Cohen. YES, I definately must hear these new lyrics!! Thanks for the heads-up!!
One of my co-workers brought in "October Road" by James Taylor, and I kinda half-listened while working. I liked what I heard. Maybe I can borrow his CD for the weekend.
I heard that Patty Larkin will be releasing a new CD soon. I'm looking forward to hearing her new CD.
Just purchased the new Santana "Shaman" CD, partially because the kids really like the "Game of Love" tune with Michelle Branch. The whole thing is good.
oldandknew - I uncover those back pages sometimes also, and Tapestry is certainly a good way of doing it!
Hey There OAK,
...I recently saw Carole King on a TV concert. I loved her of course, but was a bit miffed when she decided to stand up and do, "Today the Earth Moved". For me the piano work on that song is the high point of "Tapestry". .....Lemme see, thanks to Ferrous, I'm about to slip in my Iztzhak Perlman, doing The Brahms Violinkonzert.
Booman, you're dead right about miss king, the piano and the earth. a bit like john lee hooker without the hat
Hah! That's a funny image OAK. But it goes a little farther than. That piano is the esscence of that song. Think "Bennie And the Jets", without the piano!
Point taken Booman. Yes the piano is her "salvation" I guess
Benny and the Jets
Haa, I miss read it, and thought "Think "Ruben And the Jets", without the piano!"
I couldn't remmember if Zappa played piano on it...
Of course, it would have been Ian Underwood, on piano.
listening to my cat purr.....aaaahhh
Lessee if we finally, are on the same page Ferrous. You do know I meant Elton John's piece right?....B..B..B..Bennie & the Jets, Benni-ie, Benni-ie...
