Here is something totally different. In 1993 classical composer Michael Nyman’s piano piece for soundtrack to a movie “The Piano” was a big hit in the classical realm. I have the soundtrack to the movie “The Piano” and often like to listen to this piece. Was one of the piano pieces I really liked when I started piano lessons. It is really hauntingly beautiful.

From Wikipedia:
In 1993, Nyman’s popularity increased after he wrote the score to Jane Campion’s award-winning 1993 film The Piano. The album became a classical music best-seller with over three million copies. His soundtrack won an Ivor Novello Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA and American Film Institute award. He was nominated for a British Academy Award and a Golden Globe. -
If there was ever an underrated gem, this would be it. Brian Wilson’s unfinished follow up masterpiece to Pet Sounds, a response to Sgt Peppers, a song from the unfinished album Smile, “Surfs up”. It is honored here by David Crosby, Vince Gill, and Jimmy Webb.

Hi Joe
That is nice song by Nicky Hopkins. Have not heard of him, but a gem indeed. I like the piano.
Great idea for a post. I can think of many lesser known gems. This one was a big hit in the 70s, but probably unknown outside of Canada, and maybe even British Columbia, by a local band named Chilliwack. This is reminiscent of a Beach Boys song of a similar title. This one I think is a big unknown gem worth a listen

This classical tune always sends a chill, kind of fitting for Halloween. It’s about FATE.

Hi Bud
When I first met MJ, my wife, we drove from Vancouver to Whistler Mountain which is about a 2 hour casual windy drive. I remember she was looking at the road map of British Columbia I had in the car trying to find Whistler, she was looking at way up north near Yukon and Alaska thinking we had traveled that much unaware how big BC is. I showed her on the map we barely left the Vancouver area. In Korea driving 2 hours in any direction you would have travelled a significant distance. Yeah BC is pretty massive indeed, having lived here pretty much most of my life, I shamefully have only been to a fraction of BC, not having been to the wide swaths up north. It looks like you’ve been to many of the popular places in BC. That movie “First Blood” with Sylvester Stallone was filmed in Hope.
I always loved visiting Seattle, and as I mentioned before use to go down there often spending the weekend over there. I especially like going over the floating bridge (Hwy 520) to Bellevue, or across the Port of Seattle to the Alki Beach area, or the Ballard Locks area, University District etc…. Seattle is pretty well known for it’s unique music scene with Jimi Hendriks being from there, and the whole Grunge genre originating there, with the likes of Sound Garden and Nirvana originating from around there.

Wow, really nice JP! The guitar work is captivating.

Thanks Roger. I posted this one yesterday in the Day 6 Advent Pet Sounds discussion with Joe, but will post it here again. Here is Brian Wilson at his piano in 1966 singing Surfs Up. You can see all his brilliance pouring out of him. https://youtu.be/sTifX3mpnV4?si=AVjtAfP1mbsDhjOQ

Hi Frank
Yeah I would love to see a behind the scenes mini documentary of MLT in the studio creating their music. If there were some video clips of Jump Ship or WHY?, that would be awesome. As MLT’s music get more complex like these songs, it would be a treat to see their craft in action, creative juices flowing, discussions going on between, Mona, Lisa and Papa Rudi as they piece their music together.

Hi Jurgen
Yeah I remember Beetlejuice, with his head shrinking thing. Michael Keeton did a pretty good job of the character, and Winona Ryder did the “Wednesday Addams” kind of character great.

A funny Halloween spirit scene. Inspired by true events? That would be pretty torturous to be locked in a coffin alive. Makes for a real Halloween horror experience.

Hi Jacki
It sounds like from yours and Joe’s response Chilliwack was little more known then I gave them credit for. The band is named after a city just outside of Vancouver, known for it’s delicious corn and the band! HAHAHA.

That’s beautiful Dave, really relaxing. I like all the mix of instrumentals in it.
-
Nice guitar sounds Roger, I like it. I can feel a bit of the Cars influence in it.
-
Great harmonies David, it harkens me back to the summer again. I recall Grass Harmony was mentioned in the past, great vocals.
