I cannot choose either way. All instruments are wonderful when in good hands.

When a setting is available, additional bass or no additional Bass?

Beachcombing - Mark Knopfler with Emmy Lou Harris.

Happy as a sandboy, perhaps.

Never. I don't even like taking prescribed meds, so I would never risk it.

WYE sit through a concert on TV of music that you hated just because someone else does?

Fire - Fine

I just found this on YouTube. Everyone knows Running Up That Hill was by Kate Bush, but doesn't it just suit Eivør? It was as though it was written for her!

Does orchestral music written by a rock musician for a rock album count as classical?

I was considering that very track myself. The Video for it is fantastic. Such high quality that it is almost 3D! However, although such t music will become classic in the future, I would say that it isn't in that category in the present.

On the other hand, The Golliwogs's Cakewalk by Claude Debussy is definitely Classical music. The stereo effect on this version is superb, so I recommend listening with headphones!

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - Fanfare for the Common Man.

Ballet. I am not crazy about Opera. having said that, I have a CD entitled, Wagner Ohne Worte (without words). Now that I do like!

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky or Adolphe Adam?

In another thread, mention was made of Greg Lake as part of King Crimson. Well, here is Keith Emerson when a member of The Nice, with Sibelius' Karelia Suite.

Zip a dee doo dah - James Baskett

Joy and peace to spread.

Harm - Hare

I have, to a degree. I spent thirteen years working in factories that made lightbulbs. The only thing that made it bearable was that I was a production supervisor.

WYE work a permanent night shift?

Quote by Cora

This past Saturday I had a bad seizure in my leg and I fell, hitting the kitchen tile face first. I was in a terrible amount of pain and am still sporting a swollen black eye. I had a couple rough days and here I am. It still hurts to chew or touch the surrounding area. I've been resting mostly. I think I'm going to take a short break from SS. Who knows? I'll be back tomorrow. I just wanted to keep you all in the loop.

I've been away for a few days so I missed this. I hope you are feeling much better now, Ellie. Big Hugs. 🤗🫂

Passchendaele (Canadian movie about a famous WWI battle by writer/actor/director Paul Gross drawing on his grandfather's reminisences of WWI)

I have that on DVD. The 'making of' segment explains how he used a photo belonging to his Grandfather to recreate the battlefield scenes.

Into which category does a classical piece, played in a Rock style, by an orchestra fall?

Toccata and Fugue played by Vanessa Mae with the Bratislava Radio Symphony Orchestra.

I hate the thought of a cashless society. More and more shops here are card only now so I try to avoid them.

Headphones or earbuds?
