  [QUOTE=msclvr12] Does anybody else still love listening to classic jazz as much as I do? I feel like it has become a lost genre in our society but I personally think nothing is more soothing- especially accompanied with a bubble bath. ... [/QUOTE]   As for myself, I do not listen to "jazz" anymore than I listen to "rock", and more than I listen to "pop" music that is piped by music companies for their profit, specially when some of these are now in the public domain. So the answer to your question is ... nope ... I do not listen to the same things that you do or are trying to push!   How clever of you!

  [QUOTE=Sean Trane] ... What is your first musical memory/souvenir (other than mommy's lullabies)? [/quote] Edith Piaf - Hymne de l'amour (pardon my spelling!)    [QUOTE=Sean Trane] Which official masterpiece bugs you beyond belief? [/quote]   None, although the over usage of the word "progressive" and "prog" in a certain board bugs me. It's too pop'y for me!    [QUOTE=Sean Trane] Which "universal classic" album haven't you heard yet? [/quote] Good question ... I've heard so many I'm not sure which ones I've missed.   [QUOTE=Sean Trane]  Which generally-regarded as turd album do you actually like?  [/quote] None really.   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] An album that everybody else seems to hate and that you actually like? [/quote]  I would have to check my list ... but Amon Duul 2 comes to mind, in the lack of understanding as to what music is all about and how music can be a vehicle for some serious expression instead of a commercial sound.   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] Which turd would you play over and over to your enemy to torture him?  [/quote]   "Swastika Girls" ... until they start appreciating what became known as something else is also very progressive and nice! You already know what album that is from!!!   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] An album that you'd love to make the whole planet discover? [/quote] Amon Duul 2 - Wolf City ... but before we do that we have to de-sensitize people from listening to too much elevator music and commercial music!    [QUOTE=Sean Trane] An album you could re-listen to every day? [/quote]   All of them ... I wouldn't have them if I couldn't!    [QUOTE=Sean Trane] An album or piece to listen to understand an essential aspect of your personality? [/quote]   Any Peter Hammill piece of work, and ending with "A Way Out" ... so you know what I mean.   [QUOTE=Sean Trane]  Which piece/album influenced your life? [/quote]   All of them and none of them. I was already into and studying mysticism to the point where I knew the trappings of "success" and "commerciality" in order to learn something inside.   Best line I ever learned something from was actually a Carlos Castaneda novel ... the day you stop listening to everything, including me, you will know much better who you are ... and I knew right away that the drugs were not necessary and were there because Carlos was a tough and stubborn mamma! And don Juan said so 7 books later.   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] Which album or piece had you growing a tear or depresses you? [/quote]   Doesn't depress me ... but I still love Sandy Denny's work and voice with all my heart. You must listen to the Remastered "Rising for the Moon" and make sure you listen to the two versions of "One More Chance" ... I can't help crying on it, because it is as if she is asking for a chance, that she already knows she is not going to get!   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] Which piece of music gave you your most powerful erotic emotion?  [/quote]   None. Over rated and sad question!   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] A desert-island album?  [/quote] None or all of them!   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] Which future album are you most waiting most?  [/quote] None, or any.   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] If you could bring back (to life) a musician, it would be??  [/quote] I'll only answer this if I can have 2 of them ... Sandy Denny and Michael Karoli   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] If you could bring back a composer, it would be?  [/quote] All of them, or none.   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] Give an example of "intelligent" music  [/quote] No such thing.   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] Which is your favourite musician still alive today?  [/quote] Too many to mention. I appreciate too many of them and their abilities and love.   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] Which is your favourite composer still alive today? [/quote] Too many of them and all of the music has composers ... so in that sense all of them.   [QUOTE=Sean Trane] Which idea or concept would you like to see adapted musically?? [/quote] None. I like it when the arts surprise us.

  Hi,   I live with, for, and by, too much music to not appreciate what it has to offer me, and has offered all these years.   I have seen, too many places, where music is not appreciated and other places where music is a symbol of freedom that is not appreciated, and have seen music be abused and many countries work their hardest to make sure that their people do not listen to it, lest it be a symbol of freedom or some other paranoid bs.   In the end, I am not sure that this question is as important about "music" as it is about the "inner" human expression, that may be found/seen as music, writing, art or sculpture and many other expressions ... all of which we would not be happy without them, specially if you knew about them.   After the past 100 years, the whole world has been about the expression of freedom and how to expose and apply that freedom in an expression ... it may have started with film and radio, and 75 years later we had the Internet with everything you can think of.   Are we better off without it all? ... well, a board like this would not have been possible without that international exposure and ability, and there were not groups as big as this 40 years ago that I could find ... we were all too danged stoned to know the difference, I guess!   In the end, I am not sure that the question is about "music" as much as it is ... are we so bored with ourselves that we have to have something else entertain us, in order for us to feel better about life in general ... and the thought scares the living heck out of me ... that we would be so jaded as to have to appreciate something in order to find out who we were inside ... I mean ... are we so empty that we can not know this and need something else in order to learn? ... now you know why the good book says that we have lost the connection to the "father" within ... we're too lost on the outside and think that connection is important and we aren't.   In my book, music, or art, is a part of the human expression and an important one ... and I treat it as strongly adn as important as I do my own ... it's THE only thing in our lives worth living for ... the rest is just a bunch of words!
