I'm sure I put down my return-ticket somewhere?

I think I may have heard most of it, however, I expect my dad's got a copy of it lying around somewhere, I'll have a look!

See, things were tuneful back in them days!

(Not mind-numbingly banal!)

Goodbye Stranger...Take the Long Way Home... fine group

Ligeti. Etudes for piano. I love no 4 in particular. It's called Fanfares

Have you tried to play any of them yet, f#m?

I bought the scores a couple of years ago, initially to follow recordings - I was intrigued to see the notes on the page. I haven't got around to tackling any of them myself; after all, there is so much more out there that would be within my sights and worth the time (although I might take the plunge with a page or two, for fun!).

My granda always used to say, whenever a song from later than about the early 80s was played, "Ahh, they don't write them like that anymore!" to which, infallibly, my grandmother would always reply to with "Thank God for that!" I do admit though, there's nothing wrong with a good bit of 80s heavy metal, any day of the week

Fortunately, I managed to miss that!

You missed out big style in that case! get yourself away with a bit of W.A.S.P., amazing, despite more than one song with rather questionable lyrical content!

I don't like wasps either! Once stung, twice shy!

very sorry to hear that, clavicembalo

I was probably 7yrs old when a wasp landed on my finger. My mum thought I was just pointing at nextdoor's dog, which I didn't get on with. Actually I was trying to direct her attention towards the wasp. I was stung!

Grandma to the rescue with vinegar! Still, not quite as paranoid about them as my sister.

I can't say I've ever been stung by any sort of flying insect (touch wood!!) but I've been told it's most painful! This type of thing, however, will forever remind me of my first-year secondary chemistry teacher-she always told us that you put "Vinegar" on "Vasp" stings to neutralise the acid! A bit weird, but to her credit, I never forgot it!

My chemistry teacher did that too!...

I'm now listening to Heston Blumenthal's latest 'interesting' food programme (not musical, I know, apart from the incidental music). Curry ice-cream and camel burger, anyone?

oh dearie me......

Yuck I don't know what you're on about, but just that phrase on its own made my stomach churn!

Right now, I'm listening to... the clock. I think it's telling me to go to bed

Incognito : 'Always There'

Bill Bailey's Doctor Who sketch

Choral vespers from the London Oratory on radio 3

Oooh .... thanks for the reminder! Now I am too!

Silene by Biosphere. It's really beautiful

The jazz programme hosted by a friend of mine on local radio.

The sound of silence.

Not the song by Simon & Garfunkle. Just silence.

steve reich
music for 18 muscians

Martha Argerich (and the Radio-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin) playing the Rach 3

Sanctuary, from the Kingdom Hearts II soundtrack

Something plinky-plonky on Radio 3 - I know not what. Graham Fitkin perhaps? That sort of thing anyway.


Edit: It's just finished. Apparently, Steve Reich. I wasn't far off!

Restless Gypsy-W.A.S.P.
Interesting title, fabulous song!

So what's on the 'B' side? ('Bee' side ....)

*groan*

Defune, played by Jean-Pierre Rampal and Lily Laskine (from the Japanese Melodies for Flute and Harp album).

Stand Back-Stevie Nicks, whilst I'm getting ready to go out

I shouldn't listen to Stevie Nicks when I'm getting ready though-I inevitably end up in black skirts, floaty cardigans, wild hair, and big platform boots!

We're watching Mamma Mia!

Fragile. Yes.

Is that the one with sublime electric guitar? Steve Hackett?

"Down by the edge, round by the corner,
Seasons will pass you by,
I get up, I get down"?

Ah, that'll be "Close to the Edge". And it's Steve Howe. Steve Hackett was with Genesis. I might put Musical Box or Foxtrot on next.

Stevie Wonder : 'Sir Duke'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkxbtgrkOYA...feature=related

That.

Looks a very impressive flute!

The Year 11 class did their own version of that at our school concert

Oh, it's a great number. I do a 'good' karaoke version of it...

The rain outside my window...

Storm brewing here too, but all the nesting birds in the trees are having a lovely sing song.

I was telling one of my classes yesterday (I think it was the 7 year olds) how I teach adults as well as children and was going through a list of all the different sorts of people I teach...when one of them said, 'Do you teach the birds to sing as well?'!!

Awwww!

"I'd like to teach the birds to sing, in perfect harmony ...."

If you do you are doing a good job, they sing their little hearts out over here, its lovely to listen to.

The rattle of the saucepan lid as the rice boils!

Victoria wood songs Hubby has found me the sheet music for my birthday so getting into practice

Tiny Temper on Kiss FM. Apparently. I have only my daughter's word for it.

That's utterly gorgeous, I'm listening to it right now too!
