OT: Music Part V

[DougHarvey]

In north america? I can understand Europe as they are more open and diverse. I hear some crap in passing also,when an instrument is not used,do you cease to be a musician and merely a computer data enter-er?

How does that work? we had lessons and a piano but not all of us kept it up but did learn to read music which is long forgotten for me.
What's MOR?
BTW,you got my birth date wrong

MOR is Middle of the Road was what radio stations in the 60s and 70s were called. They played a mix of pop and lite rock. They call it Adult Contemporary nowadays.

Ever hear of Band-in-a-box? I used to use it as a practice partner and base for song writing. I didn't know they still made it, but it's just one example of what's possible nowadays. When does it stop being creative and merely becomes automated?

I can enter a chord progression I know I could never play, choose a tempo and style according to what I want, hit play and out comes a song. The computer made it, but it comes from my ideas. Does that make it invalid?

When I hear DJ's doing remixes and using samples, they're not creating anything. Any kid with an app can copy that.

How does what work? The math in music?

MOR: Middle of the road. Not of any particular style.

How do I post (embed) music videos. Can anyone explain in non-tech terms for a senior citizen?

Thank you!

I love these sisters making music for the simple joy of making music! And they can play any style.

So,like the Carpenters and that?

The Pretenders made a song with that title,were they saying something I was not aware of?

No,bit I've heard of a cat in the hat.
I suspect everyone might have their own opinion on that matter which most likely would devolve into a huge debate.
And here we go, A DJ is altering original formats and creating a new version. Can compare it to a bartender concocting a new drink using already created liquids.
Some DJ's make a boatload of money and attract huge crowds and create a great party atmosphere.
Seen this man a few times over the years.



But he also makes/produces songs.

Carpenters , Simon & Garfunkel etc.

Great song by the Pretenders but I dont think that is what is what about.

Bunch of people on E, lost in a trance. Loads of fun.

Are you Irish? Just curious about the election results. Your thoughts if any.

Thought perhaps they were insinuating something,but maybe not. Anyways,here's the one in question. Maybe others have insight?

Never took E, knowingly anyways! could have been slipped to me at some time though. Don't think you need it anyways and it is fun time!

What's going on in Ireland?

Irish?nope! here's a clue, it helps?

Not really the right place for this but it's interesting, and somewhat similar to what happened here in the 70's.

Irish nationalist Sinn Fein earns historic Northern Ireland election win | CNN

Northern Ireland is on the cusp of having a nationalist leader for the first time in its history after Sinn Fein, once considered the political wing of the IRA, emerged as the largest party in regional elections.

I forgot this was still out there in cyberspace.

Recorded in the beach house in Saltair, BC on a Sunday afternoon, almost 20 years ago.

My buddy Ryk on bass and lead vocals, Zak on the mandolin, Bob on one guitar, and me the higher one, with capo.

We had fun. In your honour.

That's cool,thanks. Saw it was a cover and well done What compelled you guys to do that tune? encounter with Dutch soccer hooligans?

Then in your honor I would reciprocate with sharing baked goods,but guess I'll have to eat it on my own and do a purchase as baking is not a forte.



There are other options that are good,as per @Per Sjoblom could attest to but not sure he ever had ''laced'' ones.

True Talent!!!

 

[Cournoyer12]

It’s funny, I find the music I didn’t appreciate when I was younger is now the stuff I listen to most. Always a big Hard Rock Gearhead, I find myself listening to more old country and Balladeers!Foghat, Grand Funk,April Wine, and Molly Hatchet are now evenly dispersed with likes of Dean Martin, Gordon Lightfoot, Blue Rodeo, and Buck Owens! It’s either old age or maturity. Whom am I kidding, it’s old age!

I never appreciated Gordon Lightfoot until a few years ago. What a songwriter and guitarist.

Many could probably say the same thing. I moved away from my teen years (late 90s - early 2000s). I barely listen to anything made post-2010 nowadays. I couldn't stand bands like Tragically Hip and now I like them a whole lot. Feels like they were the true Canadian band

I listened to Focus live yesterday. Akkerman is a damn good guitarist and the keyboard/flute/yodel guy can really hit the high notes.

The choreography is bad, random and awesome at the same time. This is a fun rock band from Belgium!
