Today’s music evokes a specific memory – but not a specific place, unless you count the inside of a plane 😃

Thinking About Remembering
I think this one is particularly suitable for today’s “gentle” choice.
Conference Memory
The fact that yesterday’s choice is associated in my mind with a quite specific time and place has led me to the ‘theme’ for the next few days. I am sure that everyone can relate to the idea that hearing a piece of music can transport you back to somewhere/sometime.
Silence Disturbed
I’ve no idea how I originally came across this recording, but it was immediately saved in my YouTube list. It is a great example of something that I “stumbled upon” and really liked.
Man Of The Match – The Tambourine Player
Most cover versions of songs are done to “update” the experience – this group do the opposite.
An Old Favourite – A New Take On It
I am well aware that even though I am familiar with lots of music there is even more that I do not know. I am also aware that with music (as with many aspects of our lives) we all tend to stuck to the familiar without allowing sufficient opportunity to find new things. Its been nice to get some feedback on my posts to the effect that what I have shared was new to someone.
Now Bach Rocks
More Bach – another arrangement – this time one that a lot more people will know (unlike the previous ones).
Popcorn
15th July 1976 – my final Glasgow Schools’ course had its concert in Ardrossan Academy. This was my fifth year as horn tutor at the military band camp – and I had just about got the hang of it😃. This was also Derick Kane’s last time as Trombone tutor.
More Beatles
Today we stick with an arrangement of a Beatles’ song – but this is very different from yesterday. It features both Brandon Ridenour and Ryan Anthony sharing the trumpet solo part.
All Our Yesterdays
Both my previous “cover versions” this week have taken music and brought it “up to date” – today we go the other way. I have to say that until quite recently I didn’t know that this was “a thing” but it doesn’t take long n YouTube to find many medieval cover versions 😃 It seems that this has gained the name “Bardcore”!
