Well Daryl,
I’m late: St. Patrick’s Day is already over and I definitely have no Irish ancestry. But I really like Irish folk music and Irish beer. That must be enough. Hence my somewhat belated post. I always find the performance of the two brothers worth seeing. Somehow gravity seems to work differently on them than on the rest of humanity:

I don’t know if this post has been featured elsewhere on this forum (I hope not…). After all the possible intros that pieces of music can start with, here are some very nice and famous drum intros:

Yes Tim very entertaining, thanks. It might have been like that, part of human evolution: hunters and gatherers became drummers and flute players. I didn’t even know Ringo was in this movie. I wouldn’t have recognized him immediately either. He has integrated himself perfectly into the stone age…
By the way speaking of the stone age, here perhaps the first boy group in human history:

A young woman with a great voice, who first became known for covering other singers’ songs. I’m curious if she will manage to establish her own songs.

Hi Tim, I think you mean the “Madurodam” in the Netherlands. Thanks for the hint. I didn’t even know it existed. A beautiful outdoor facility. I believe „Godzilla“ by Blue Oyster Cult could be a nice cover song by Mona and Lisa. But that Mona is supposed to stomp around in the miniature world as Godzilla with a flute: best you should explain that to her…😄

Thanks Chris, Bill Bailey doesn’t ring a bell so I did some googling. He seems to be an entertaining comedian and musician. I think he definitely needs longer arms for his six-neck electric guitar, otherwise he can’t use the full potential of this monster.

A very nice idea Chris, to make melodies, that spontaneously go through your head, audible by mental transmission. I think then I could also become a musician 😀. I often spontaneously come up with melodies or rhythms that I unfortunately can’t bring to life without an instrument. Here’s an interesting approach to synchronizing the interaction of music and body sensations. Now all that is missing is a suitable interface to make the body sensations audible, even without using an instrument. A fascinating thought: making a person’s feelings and sensations sound. Future music in the truest sense of the word.

Chris, I felt the same way as you: I had heard the sound of the Theremin somewhere many, many years ago without being able to assign it to a specific instrument. A fascinating sound experience. My all time favorite movie soundtrack played on the Theremin:

Hi Jung, thank you for the beautiful piano piece by Oscar Peterson. A gifted musician, just like Glenn Gould. When I hear the sound of a Cembalo, I always have to think spontaneously of the Baroque period. Impressive castles, men and women in fine, richly embroidered robes with those strange white wigs on their heads. On the subject of baroque time organ music also comes to mind. And since we are on the subject of unusual musical instruments: the largest cathedral organ in Europe is located in the Cathedral of Passau. Legendary 17774 organ pipes. The following video is a bit antiquated, just like the organ itself, which has recently been completely renovated. Unfortunately, it is difficult to capture the impressive sound of a church organ and the atmosphere of a cathedral hall in a music video.

Hi Chris, thank you very much for your many, many suggestions and comments on this topic. I’m not particularly familiar with Oscar Peterson, nor was I aware that he was born in Montréal.
Hi Jacki, great photo of you and Oskar. You’re wearing a fancy outfit. That brings color into the gray everyday life 😀

Tim, I didn’t know about Neil Peart’s passing. This is sad news. His life’s work as a musician and the song Tom Sawyer will remain unforgettable.

Thanks Fred, the 99 balloons are still flying… 😀
Caro Emerald should not be forgotten. I like her refreshing and inspiring way of presenting her songs. A happy mixture of pop, jazz and the glamorous sound of the golden 20s. I found the following beautiful cover song from the early days of her musical career:

Hi Tim,
I’ve been wondering who uses such a large drum kit. I would never have thought of the band Rush and Neil Peart. Thank you. I’ve found a live performance video where you can see Neil in action on this gigantic drum kit (maybe not exactly the same, but it looks similar). Real drumtastic 😀
-
Maybe they also thought that a wild horde of crazed cows had broken out and made their way to them… 😀

Yeah Tim, that’s what I call a real drum set. Where did you find that? Does it belong to this guy here? It’s not exactly nice what he’s doing there, but he does it…
