I haven't attended a concert in person in years. Tomorrow I get to go see a performer I've admired for years. Classical organ music may not be everyone's cup of tea, but this guy is a virtuoso.  He can re-write Bach in his head on the fly.

Love this guy (Toshiki Kadomatsu), his music while all instrumental is just great background while you work. First got introduced to him while going to school in Japan. He came to America to learn Jazz before going back home and doing his own take on it. AWESOME :metal: 

The last track on the CD is June Bride. My wife walked down the isle to this song. :D 

Hard to believe, 26 years now. My parents arranged for us to meet. I had a job, flew home from Japan and had told my parents I was ready to settle down. Flew into Seattle on March 16th. My parents took me to this restaurant that she managed on March 17 1991 and the rest is as they say history. We married on Dec 24th 1991.

Who says your parents cannot pick a good spouse for you. :P

More Fleetwood Mac.....

OK...

You mentioned Fleetwood Mac and I had the need to listen to this obscure song from them from the 80s.

 

I miss the diversity of music that the 1980s offered!

 My own. May, June, and July are annoying months for me because about every 4 days there is some birthday, anniversary, graduation, or holiday which the whole family insist we all have to get together for.  I genuinely love my family, but it's always the same core crowd at each of these gatherings, telling each other the same stories.

Next gathering, suddenly stand on your chair, bellow out 'ONION SAUCE! ONION SAUCE!' and stampede out the front door before anyone can think of a reply.

Then the next gathering- there'll be a new story.
Lather, rinse, repeat, eight times (or a considerable number of your choosing).

...or change the story and embellish it and re tell it...often one can make the story much more interesting without people even knowing it...

 Cherish these moments Drew!

There will come a time when these family members wont be around and those "boring" stories will cease to be told again...

And then the details of these stories will soon fade away and lost forever.

(If by what I think what you mean by stories is lovable family anecdotes and family history)

(If maybe you mean dumb nonsensical ranting and crappy family feuding gossip, then I agree with your sentiment!!!)

Type O Negative- Everyone I Love Is Dead

BTW I nominate this thread to be stickied....it has the potential to be an ongoing thread I hope.

Ironically, this is the perfect song for today....

I've been listening to Pink Floyd's 'The Division Bell' over and over the last few days in the car....this was my favorite album in the mid 90s, it just hits all the right notes for me.  Tracks like 'Coming Back to Life' and 'High Hopes' fit my mood currently so well...

If your into progressive jazz, just love piano or Japanese woman, Keiko Matsui is just Awesome. Was introduced to her in College at Kobe University. She came to America and spent years traveling and learning about American Jazz. She now is doing her own take on it and she was just in Seattle at Jazz Alley!

And the Superbowl half-time show a-whiles back this millennium...

Good times I had with your music spanning from the early 1980s to the early 1990s! 

Thanks!

My first time learning about Fats Domino was on Happy Days!

The scene is very vague in my memory now, but Richie was singing it...here is that part

I did not know what Richie was saying and what he meant...but those words stuck in my head.

Years later...Time Life Music was selling a 1950s and 1960s Rock-N-Roll collection when I heard that song again!

That VOICE!

I fell in love with his voice right away!

That piano! Just awesome!

 

But there was no where I listen to his music...so my enthusiasm for his music died as quickly as it started! THAT kinda sucked!

But...I started liking Cheap Trick. I Want You to Want Me and If You Want My Love You Got It started it. Then it was The Flame a few years later. That is when I found out they made a cover of Aint That a Shame in the late 1970s...in 1988...my love for Fats Domino's music git rekindled!

Thanx Mr. Domino for helping me LOVE AND CONTINUE TO LOVE ROCK-N-ROLL!!!

Rest in Peace.

Saw Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie in concert last night.   Fun show.  Small venue, great sound, great music--mix of Fleetwood Mac, solo and their new material.   Both sounded great, backing band was tight.  LB is a great guitarist and songwriter, listened to a lot of FM and LB today.   Love the guitar solo on this track.
