I have two albums from Horslips but this is what shows up on internet search:
Not bad, anyway . . .
Rambling, . . . I met my music lover/teacher almost 40y ago. She and I didn't share a lick of music at the time. Have since, my arrangements for brass and strings. Music = love to (so)me.
^ On a good day!
^ Sorry to be so weird. Music brings out my happy feet.

@humn what is weird to one is fascinating to another.

@Mithrandir , a life of wonder rouses me once and again. And kicks me out once again for street music.
(That's not even what I consider street music but lyrics got the upper hand this time.)
Thought I was out the door but got collared by an amazing version by an amazing group (Patrick Moraz uber Rick Wakeman, if you can believe it). Have another half hour to spare?:

............... and from the same concert, such a beautiful song so awfully mixed ... who knew someone would have a phone cam in the 70s? ...
Better mixed version. Skip the above and settle in:

@Mithrandir , humn also listens, thank you! (while writing up yet another vignette of police stories)

You pick such uplifting pieces, Mithrandir! Frees me to average it out with cynicism when that's how it goes.
(Previous strip was written before checking out that last piece. Nicely bittersweet dessert.)

I've memorized almost that whole musical ;)

Thanks for getting me across the threshold! Both Donny and Marie Osmond have taken ages to get over my original distaste. Next I'll have to enjoy Jackson 5.

Anyone remember music radio? It was almost as good as here. If all this fun gets crowded out of here, perhaps the new room should be called something like "station on the dial" instead of "woodshed."
From the transition between music radio and music television:
I'm trapped in the 70s! (Barely got released from the 60s. Trying to hide out between the 10s.)

This is so much better than commercials! (I appreciate religion from the audience. Think I'm spiritual in any case.)

I'm still trying to identify all the artists in "Unity". I've got about half of them, I think.

List? when ready? Don't make me turn on the internet.

Wait, I'm pretty sure I got some wrong now :/

I just caught up with the last video up there. The feral cat just bounced off the floor.
Good thing the wild cops no longer respond to neighbrs' calls.

I have a "vignettes" file. Here's a 3-part police story that didn't get there, with the dial turning from irony to cynicism:
Talk about dropping a feather into a canyon.

Here's a thumper:
@Mithrandir , love the brass!
(I have a thing for brass instruments. A thing called love. Also things called throat, tongue and lips.)
 
Mithrandir
Mithrandir
(may be slightly high/squeaky)
 
humn
humn
(Neighbrs love high harmony! As does their neighbr.)
 
Mithrandir
Mithrandir
@humn So does my brother.
And also low harmony :)
 
humn
humn
Don't get me started!
Low harmonies are a challenge between simple octaves and what else could possibly work.
And they're so powerful whenever they do work.
You're typing with someone who wants a clef below the usual two.
And another above!
Signed, someone who thinks they read every clef inbetween.

Just when and what the speakers needed.
(And I love to try and read from right to left. That's how I write from left to right, being left handed.... oboy, does that explain a lot!)
Listening between left and right.
Guess I'm glad this room wasn't renamed "metal" after all.

So sweet (so far, still listening)
That singer releases almost every note upward. It's an art worth learning from.

And tabs behind, by now, again
Once I was intimate with my English teacher and found words to describe the Gaditanae piece up there.
How music and language can mix to cream!
 
Mithrandir
Mithrandir
@humn nice, but it gets cut off at the end?
 
humn
humn
I know!!!!! Not the version in mind. Thank you for getting that far.
I play off a piano score lovingly reduced by the composer. It goes on for pages and pages.
Seems like I'm typing "teacher" over and again. This time with purpose:

@humn O_O
that's awesome

That's what they were playing above, with Harry Potter, pretty sure.
Thank you for reminding me. Which reminds me. Signed, without a memory to spare in my pocket. It slipped out last time I met myself on the curb asking for anything.
Music gets me going!
Just found a clip that makes me want to pick up the pieces and drop everything:

I don't even sing in the shower anymore. Nowadays it's in front of the sink or windshield.
A sink has superb acoustics. As do small cars.

Thank youir! There is so much more from that album, but this particular version was a surprise find just now.

Album being Bush of Ghosts by Byrne and Eno:
Really? 36 years ago? And I'm still going to court for disturbance of peace charges from then?
One of these days I'll get a new calendar.
Still looking for the hard version of "Story of my Life" but until then, possible repeat:
... back when hard and punk overlapped ...
check out the mopless tops, lots of fast forwarding required:
My favorite piece to play on euphonium, played by horns as nature intended, complete with the danger of shark attack:
(A euphonium is a French horn disguised as a tuba.)
Once again, not the piece searched but not bad either:
How does such a sweet little sound come out of that piece of industrial plumbing?
(I know the answer, by the way, and it ain't always so sweet or little.)
(On the most dangerous instruments, it seems, YouTube runs away as if they were naked.)
(I should unhack my microphone and spew some disharmonies.)
Playing euphonium on YouTube seems to be like steamrolling an egg shell.
The instrument can lilt lighter than air.
But it can bite a piece of pavement with ease as well.
Again, nobody wants to see that talent recorded it seems.
I don't either. I just double hacked my computer's inputs just to make sure.
But it's a wonder to behold. A euphonium that is.
As is every instrument!
Going on unabated, euphonium is an instrument of destruction. I love to flit among the high notes as if heaven were earthbound.
Then, given the chance, I rip the guts out of any passage. There is no bottom range on that instrument.
How hyperbolic, which means passionato.
(Yeah, fellow notation nerds, "a passionato." Circumstances prevented an edit in time.)
"a passionata"? Correct me if I'm only... as the icon sez ...
Until the next correction, it's time to keep the speakers warm (slower than I play it but, again, not bad):

Here's a thumper that might also be a repeat offender by now:
Almost makes me want to go type another police vignette elsewhere. "This is a dangerous place."
Calliope ventures into the savanna:
