Beethoven: Symphony No. 4 - George Szell & The Cleveland Orchestra Many people like #5, #6 and #9, which are nice, by my favorites are #4 and #7. The Cleveland Orchestra is one of the world's great symphony orchestras, and Szell was a stellar conductor. #4 was panned by having such a long introduction, but I rather like it.

Interesting ***** about coitus a few posts ago. You can't say i n t e r c o u r s e even thought it means "exchange especially of thoughts or feelings" without the censor changing it to ***** Isn't it funny how you can say "The F Word" but can't actually say the F word itself? Just some random thoughts

Tempus Fugue-it (aka Tempus Fugit) - Bud Powell (the original) (this song is fast) (and difficult to play) Tempus Fugue-it (aka Tempus Fugit) - Stan Getz (my favorite so far) (but rewarding when you get it under your fingers)
-
Rise? (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher - Jackie Wilson
-
Some people live in a c0ndominium - and that could be a high rise.
-
Greatest Hits - Hank Ballard (and the Midnighters) I think Hank Ballard deserves more recognition in the history of rock n roll music. But that's just me.
-
"Shake Your Groove Thing" - Peaches and Herb y'all know what this one sounds like :D
-
On the back of the far there is a nice grove of fruit bearing trees Love for 3 Oranges - Sergei Prokofiev Prokofiev is one of my favorite dissonant composers

"Parchman Farm" - Mose Allison lyrics: He starts out with: Well I'm sittin' over here on Parchman Farm And I ain't never done no man no harm Sings a while and ends up with: Well I'm gonna be here for the rest of my life I'm gonna be on this farm for my natural life Well I'm a gonna be here for the rest of my life And all I did was shoot my wife Technically correct because his wife wasn't a man, therefore he never done no man no harm. When I was young we did a rock version of this song, put out a 45rpm single and it sold a few thousand copies over a wide local area in Michigan. I used to have a copy, but in my "on the road years" someone stole it.

"Son Of Skip James" Dion DiMucci (full album) I'm actually listening to a download I bought at Amazon a yer ago. I hope this UTube thing goes well. IMO Dion did a nice job on some old R&B songs.
-
The Royal Scam - Steely Dan (full album) I'm listening predominantly for Bernard Purdy's drumming. It's understated yet powerful, always supports and enhances the song, has a great groove, and never buries any other instrument or the vocals. My first instrument was drums, I'm writing new style disks for Band-in-a-Box, and I'm always impressed by Purdy's classy drumming. I'm hoping some sinks in. This album can be a lesson in how to play drums. Listen to it, pay attention to the drums, and you'll see what I mean. My favorite rock drummers (in no particular order), Hal Blaine, Bernard 'Pretty' Purdy, Ginger Baker, and John Bonham. All for different reasons.

Bebop Lives - Mark Muprhy (His words added to Miles Davis' Boplicity)
