Merry Christmas everyone. 

 

This is from Messiah by G.F. Handel and is probably my favorite segment of the work.  There are dozens of recordings out there in YouTube Land, but I chose this one because they got the tempo right (IMHO).  Most choirs drag this portion of the piece.  Big choirs really drag it because it is so hard to keep it clean at tempo with many many voices...smaller choirs have an easier job.  I've had the pleasure of singing this in several different choirs and each director has sacrificed tempo for clarity....probably the better choice if it is one or the other.  In the Honolulu Symphony Choir we practiced it at even faster than this YouTube version, but in concert the director wimped out and we went from about 120bmp in practice to somewhere around 105bmp in concert...bummer, but very articulate.  These guys are at 114bmp but still pretty clean and tight.

Both of these songs were featured in a really fun movie, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"  Worth a watch and listen for sure.

Alison Krauss put me on the trail of bluegrass...there is some amazing musicianship in this genre.  While cruising YouTube, I stumbled upon my favorite rendition of Rocky Top from a TV special many years ago.  There are lots of great versions of this nifty little ditty out there but I think this particular rendition by Crystal Gayle nails it as the definitive version.  Clear clean voice, great instrumentals but not overstated, good mix balance. tight harmony, and a pleasant relaxed setting for the video.  Her easy and clean alto voice is perfect for the song...effortlessly art (at least she makes it seem effortless :))

On one of my first motorcycle adventures, I blew into Chicago and had some beers at a folk bar called The Earl of Old Town (I think).  The only other patron in the late afternoon was a good looking lady sitting at a table by her lonesome.  We were drinking alone together, so why not drink together while we waited for the evening and that night's musical offering?  And she was really cute....sooooo...

 

I took my current beer and walked over to her table and said, "Hi"  (...yeah, I was always clever with smooth talk and flashy one liners).  I asked if she knew when the band was going to start and she said. "No band tonight, just me".  

 

"Really", I said.  (Like I said before, I was a real wizard of a conversationalist.)

 

She said she could play me a couple if songs if liked as long as she didn't have to get up and could keep on drinking.   In flashing and, dare I say, witty repartee, I replied, "Cool."

 

She picked up her guitar (we were close to the stage area) and started to sing blues in this perfectly clear and clean voice.  Her guitar work was perfect.  She played these mean ass rough and tough blues riffs on her acoustic guitar.  Her voice was perfect (it wasn't all the beers I had either).   She was perfect...I was stunned.  She went on to tell me that she was here for a week and I should bring some friends in to listen to her show.   With a little pride showing she said she was almost finished recording her first album and it would be released pretty soon...like the end of the year.  ..I was in groupie love.  Who was this goddess of the guitar?  Yep, Bonnie Raitt.  

 

PS   If I hadn't hadn't have been so "I'm not worthy" and stumbling all over myself trying to tell her how fantastic she was, I'm pretty sure would have kissed me...like make-out kissed me.  Looking back on it, the vibe was there, but at the time I was just too overwhelmed by her monster talent.  

 

 

 

One of the blues songs she played for me :)  See why I was blown away by her guitar playing?

this has to be the most powerful theme tune to anything i have ever watched on tv

this is the theme music from an english programme called the "world at war " made by itv studios in the mid 70s

just haunting music that set the tone for the programmes every week
