The Music One

I don't post much personal stuff here - I try to keep it focused on knitting. But it's good to pull back the curtain once in a while ("Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" That's got to be one of my favorite movie lines...)

1. Total amount of music files on your computer?

288MB. It all belongs to the boys. I've got them fairly well indoctrinated into 70's rock, so some of the artists include the Steve Miller Band, Aerosmith, and Led Zeppelin. Also some Coldplay and Barenaked Ladies.

2. The last CD you bought was:

The soundtrack from "Master and Commander." You have not lived until you've listened to the Boccherini on that CD, let me tell you.

3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?

A song on Paul McCartney's "Working Classical" CD.

4. Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you:

1. Lauridsen's "Lux Aeterna." I was driving in my car the first time I heard this, and I had to pull off to the side of the road until it was over. They will be playing this in heaven when I get there.

2. Enya's "Orinoco Flow." I really like it. I don't care if it's cheesy.

3. The final movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Yeah, this one's cheesy too. So bite me. You gotta love the old story about how when he finished conducting it at its premiere, the concertmaster had to turn him around so he could see the joyous response from the audience. (He was completely deaf.)

4. Anything from Paul Simon's "Graceland" CD. The greatest album of the 1980's. Or maybe ever.

5. Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez." I would love to see this performed live someday.

5. What 3 people are you going to pass this baton to and why?

None. I hate getting unsolicited crap like this.

Nah, you haven't lived until you've seen Master and Commander on Mr OotFP's 133" screen with surround sound ;-)
