Gee, Feebs, I could have sworn I told you that you can't mind-read for shit.
And baiting a person is not a great approach if you're looking for a "more inclusive" type of response. But I guess what this is all about is that folks discussing classical music and musicians make you feel inferior. Don't ya just get the feeling that Judy would be more comfortable in a Mensa chat room, (excuse me, Internet Discussion Forum), than here on little on FFL. I mean, I think she fashions herself as a prodigy of sorts and maybe the number she runs here might be better received there. And yes, I did kinda bait her with my JT comment, although I enjoy his music,as well as much of so called "pop music". I wanted to see if she might respond in a more inclusive manner. Oh well. Judy just doesn't disappoint. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote: "Neal" Young plays very serious music - It is an interesting distinction that some people make, between serious, and 'not serious' music. Someone recently told me that electronic and/or sampled music, is not real music. On the one hand, I can see that musicians like Neil Young, do not try to master the classical works, or play music with a lot of tradition behind it. On the other, I've been a fan of his sound, since, "After the Gold Rush". He has inspired me in a lot of ways - far more than any classical music. Music is said to be the most abstract of the arts. I find it amusing that someone who diligently copies Mozart, for example, is hailed as a prodigy, yet someone doing the same thing with a Rembrandt, is labeled a forger. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote: Yeah, not quite the same thing. I'm talking about serious music and highly trained singers. Justin Timberlake, for one, sings in a much higher voice than his regular voice. Same for Neal Young I believe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSVHoHyErBQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSVHoHyErBQ ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote: I'm not a big fan of countertenors myself; the voices always sound a little strained to me. But this dude is special, not just the voice but the musicality. The ear is more important than any musical knowledge (for the listener, at any rate). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmyLkjxKCNo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmyLkjxKCNo Phew! And this is not generally my kind of "thing" but it certainly evokes all sorts of primal, albeit refined primal, sensations. His voice and those instruments and the light and the setting and the crystal hanging from the ceiling. All of these things transported me to a long-ago time. Thank you for that. I am an ignoramus when it comes to knowing about music but my ear seems to make up for what I lack in theoretical musical knowledge.
