First time on this playlist, not 100% on that.

LZ on form(when are they not!).

Thinking of the whole "No Stairway to Heaven"' thing with signs in guitar shops. Apparently the scriptwriter of Wayne's World was inspired by an actual guitar shop that had that sign. I've seen the sign in at least one music store near here. That opening riff (which I love) was played by so often by budding guitarists that it could drive the shopkeeper mad.

Там не столько музыка, сколько текст. Вообще то, "Журавли" одна из самых известных песен в нашей стране.

I listened to Cranes (Zhuravli). Beautiful and haunting lyrics about those soldiers who die in war and return as cranes. I had heard the music before, I now realize, but didn't know the words.

Where I grew up, Sandhills cranes would migrate through in huge flocks, in early Spring. People would go out to the fields along the Platte River and watch them.

Wayne's world, that's a blast from the past which I forgot about!

Shop keeper must have been driven mad!

Stephen Colbert does a questionnaire sometimes and asks "If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, not continuously just when you want to listen to it, what would it be?"

I can't answer that.

Good God, I wouldn't have a clue. That's almost a Sophie's choice scenario for me. Whatever I picked, I would have to abandon all those other wonderful songs for the rest of my life. If I could select something long with multiple themes, like a great symphony or musical or opera, it would be slightly easier. Several I never tire of hearing, from Gershwin's American in Paris to Rimsky-K's Scheherazade, and all sorts of eclectic selections in between.

Aside: If there is a Musical Hell for string players, it would be only playing The Bartered Bride, by Smetana, for the rest of their lives. The Overture, and Dance of the Comedians, in particular - great to listen to, but the tempo can kill.

It's a toughie! If I had to pick one classical it would be Wagner's - Ride of the Valkyrie, I've always liked it.

It was kind of an odd psychedelic departure from his usual stuff. I had mostly forgotten the song until The Big Lebowski was released in 1998.

Was part of the soundtrack of my life then (around the same time as "Poison Ivy" ,which I only got the meaning of many years later ;-)


I like this from Tim Penn
