Do you have the 12" 78 album "Exotic Music" on Columbia? 4 tunes, 1 tune each side of two 12" 78s. He does "Lotus Land," "Flamingo," "Song of India" and "Poinciana." I am pretty sure that these are different arrangements/recordings than those that appeared on the early '50s Columbia LP "Lure of the Tropics," but I have never compared. Absolutely sublime. sad to say, no kosty 78s here, but i do have some 10 inchers. in fact, i just picked up a pristine ' tropics' lp this month for 50 cents. teasing, if you are that deep into the kosty, you may be more hopeless than i previously thought. those early arrangements were incredible. then he turned the arranging over to a varied crew of pop arrangers.

quoting a wise earlier aloc post from a couple of day ago: "it's hard to know what to believe from the media and their dire storm forecasts. the main, if not only, goal is to attract eyeballs, ratings, and attention. i generally regard most of these severe warnings with a skeptical eye. just one big storm has gone up the hudson, as i recall."

On a related note, I will sometimes walk into the record room on a Saturday or Sunday morning and see an album on the turntable and have no idea how it got there. you aren't as far along as myself, it appears, but on the other hand, you haven't listened, and loved, as many old kostelanetz mood vinyls as i have. i never did get used to that 'modern' kostelanetz crap from the late 50s.

occasionally, likely, too often, i wake up with a wild turkey rare breed bottle emptied beside me, and often, with a dozen or more lps carefully strewn around the room, with no new scratches. records and hooch are a cheaper hobby than fillys, i reckon. i'm not sure what that says about me or rare breed or lps, but i'm sure i don't want to know.

what if michael vick were white? espn doesn't do journalism or editorials. it is in the production and advertising industry. some react strongly to the following as if it were groundbreaking journalism. stating the obvious is hardly journalism. http://espn.go.com/e...l-espn-magazine

musicians play best at home??
alocispepraluger102 replied to alocispepraluger102's topic in Miscellaneous Music
thank you 3 gentlemen, for your rich, enlightening, and very personal explanations. this one, particularly, will be with me for a very long time. "Granted this, I more or less feel like gigs (like recordings) are snapshots--sometimes beautiful, sometimes unflattering--of what is an ongoing life. I'm sure many musicians here could relate when I say that I'm a musician 100% of the time (just as I'm a human being 100% of the time etc.), and of those several waking hours I spend doing creative stuff, only a fraction is really comprised of "live performance." Sometimes my best nights are gig nights, sometimes they're in a remote location rehearsing for several hours in a row." -
in reading a commentary on the magnificent russian russian pianist benno moiseiwitsch, arichard evans comment grabbed me: And once I have worked out a satisfying (if not standardized) interpretation, I am hard to sway from it. One evening last summer, I played Chopin's B Minor Sonata, the Largo of which is among the loveliest slow movements we know. One always plays best alone at home, and this night I reveled in the beauty and sentiment of that movement. When I had finished it, I was startled to find myself sliding straight into the theme of the last movement, omitting the introductory chords. would our musician friends agree that they play their finest at home??
