*pays for drinks Is that everyone with a drink?
*picks up guitar and strums along a few chords
*changes to play Harmonica instead

*takes one look at her clarinet case, decides voice is a better way to go, and sips at her whiskey for medical purposes, obviously*

*finishes wisky, gets more guiness and wisky *switches back to guitar

*Pulls out his trumpet, oils the valves, and tunes.*

The organist's just reported in sick .... what should I play for a christening at the church on Sunday, someone??? [this is a SERIOUS question, BTW!!!]

Why thank you- the most... imaginaticve serving of Guiness I've ever seen. We gonna play then?

A christening? Crickey. Something simple, nice and pretty, well known. A Bach prelude or something?

I always loved barouque...

I'm afraid I find it annoying. It has it's moment,s but generally it's not my thing.

nor Classical, either, come to think of it- I'm a heathen- I don't really like Mozart!

Give me Renaissance any day!

*Blows dust off an old [VINYL!!!] Jacques Loussier Trio LP*
Care for something different, VIP???

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that music sounds better on vinyl?

*Frowns, puzzled.*

Dunno. Can't remember the last time I've heard a vinyl.

Can't remember the first time, come to think of it.

Perhaps Temporal Bandit is right
At the time when ALL music was on vilyl, they wrote BETTER songs
So of course music sounds better on vilyn

... or even on vinyl

I hadn't been born when all music was made on vinyl... but most of my musical influences are not from 'modern' sources, and I do think that music on vinyl has a raw feeling to it- it just sounds more round and full. My dad has a fairly large collection of albums and singles on vinyl, and I have a few of the CD versions... the vinyl versions sound so much better.

It's the recording thing, isn't it? Digital recordings and things cut out some of the sound, sampling and whatnot. It is a better thing, in my opinion.

Yeah- digital recordings cut out the atmosphere. I'm not saying I don't like CD's etc... I have hundreds! I just think its nice, once in a while, to get out some of my dad's vinyl- it just feels like there's more to it- more atmosphere.

Plus I guess it's what's associated with them- for me a vinyl was always special, as I had to get one of my parents to put them on for me when I was little. And I always chose what I liked.

Anyone who feels brave enough to come OUT of the Dark into the Light is invited to drop in at the VALENTINE BALL on the HooToo Campsite ... bring your instrument for a Jam Session

Oooh. I missed it.

Drat.

*Leans back in a relaxed fashion.*
