Let's talk music, no genre boundaries

...and my favorite ending line of the title song....

"...in another face...."

One can get weary of the same but different same, every morning thru day.... *s* ;)

Harder to keep an audience enthralled of late....busy 'celling' the show and selves at it....and the 'fav' selections open and close the gig...

*L* The benefit of being 'Auld Skool' is we can pic'n choose what, how, and Why we listen in our acoustic cells....😏

Is the madman black or are the windows painted?
Draw your own conclusive curtains.....as usual... 🤨😉

Music

The now that becomes the what where when how why later if significant to recall and fit later....or just drown oneself into....for a moments' sake...

...and sometimes you just want to dust off the subs....

"I go....for grid, for Goofy, and St. Walt !"  (very obscure quote...)

Your demoted savant, J ;)

 listened to Klaus Mikela conduct Sibelius's 5th. It was excellent. He paced the first movement faster than I am used to but it worked really well

Probably my favourite Sibelius symphony!  I was imprinted as a child by Sir Alexander Gibson's version, which is very fast.  It is very hard to forget that early imprinting!

The way I think of V. Morrison is a unique blend of American Blues, R&B, Jazz and Folk influences with traditional UK musical genres. And then, there's Morrison's deep spirituality. 

Richard Thompson is another equally unique and equally brilliant synthesizer of American and UK influences. Of course, his perspective on life is very different from Morrison's. He can be quite acerbic and bleak but there's no denying his talent. He's not afraid to tackle the painful aspects of human experience.

We are in danger of abandoning the perspective of the individual for the collective perspective. I think I am fighting for the individual perspective which would not favor the collective’s definition of genres we can all relate to. 

Where is communication in all of this? 

Personally, I look at it not in terms of one or the other (masculine vs feminine or individual vs collective) but of striving for balance. Too much of the collective and we have repression. Too much individuality and we have chaos. 

The older I get, the more aware I become of the ubiquitous nature of paradox.
