Did he make them in that link?

@barliman2001 said in Opinions on Valve Oils?:

Apart from regular products, it might be interesting to research into what people use in emergencies if they don't have the right product available... I once saw an oompah band player whose valves began sticking unscrew all the valves, pour about half a pint of beer into the valve casings, reassemble and continue...

What? And waste that perfectly good beer?

I don't like it, either, but I think it originated with union rules between the Screen Actors Guild and the Musicians Union as to who could do what.

Got my stash today. Valve oil, Valve slide and tuning slide oils.

I didn't think it was particularly beginner friendly. There's a video floating around by Clark Terry and he gets kids playing the blues immediately without a lot of extraneous information.

@SSmith1226 said in Health Benefits of Classical Music:
You’re both right! It is sort of scary. Since this study was done in Italy, they were probably listening to Puccini rather than Berg.

Ah yes, that good ole lyrical Italian music . . like Nono and Berio.

Regarding vibrato, I know there are sources referring to vocal music where vibrato is used. The vocal references I've seen, still don't nail down width or speed of the vibrato or that, just because the vocalists used it, that the instrumentalists did, either.

Regarding ballooning, I have that same question. I actually liked it, but I don't know where it came from.

Maybe rowuk knows. He (and maybe barleyman) is the expert on this site for these performance practices.

A little lullaby before bedtime, LOL

I actually saw this same opera by the same company from Vienna, sitting ON THE FIRST ROW! Amazing playing watching/listening to the Horn players playing Wiener Horns to atonal music. No crutches, only outstanding ears.

@Kehaulani , the settling of Hawaii is an amazing story. My wife and I spent a two-week anniversary trip on Kauai in 2010, and it was so fun that we did it again in 2011. Got bits and pieces of the islands' story from locals and a kayak guide (we kayaked the Na Pali coast), but I bought a book on it before we left. Just came across it again the other day.

Outstanding. As beautiful as the Islands are, I always wondered how they could call Kauai the Garden Isle. I didn't think it was possible to characterise it that way. . until I visited it (from Oahu).

So, if I listen to Berg's "Wozzeck" . .

Thanks Seth.

I think they used Ghost Oil.

Boy, I really liked that. I've conducted it a number of times but not like that. On what do they base the shortened notes in the first part and on their dynamics in general? Is that the Age of Enlightenment Orchestra? If not, who? And who is the conductor?

@ROWUK said in Covid-19 Closing Down Music Venues:
Even during these tough times, I have a gig every weekend at old peoples homes. I have been playing since Easter. They are waiting for me - every Sunday. 4 locations, Sunday mornings. It is AWESOME!

That's very cool, Rowuk. Thanks for doing that. I'm sure they much appreciate it.

When I was in Germany, I used to play regularly, with back-up tracks, at a regional home for the severely handicapped. Some were so bad they were just laid together by staff next to each other like firewood. Others were in better, but still, serious, condition.

I never left that I wasn't nauseated. Sometimes I just sat in the car for a while before driving off. But I know how much the people appreciated a breath of fresh air. It's a beautiful thing that you are doing.

@Kehaulani
I don't disagree there, but on that subject, I ran across this tidbit a while back from author Louis L'Amour, and thought it was interesting.

Well, I'm from a land that was populated by open-ocean sea farers who's navigational skills were astounding. Hitting Hawai' from Tahiti was a major feat. But none of that presupposes a round Earth.

@administrator said in A little humour:

I feel like the "flat world" is more of a modern thing than anything else. Sort of like "I want to show everyone how different I am so I'm going to pick this silly non-issue to do so."

Well, my personal experience with a flat-Earther was 56 years ago, if you call that "modern".

flugelgirl - I think this was an obtuse reference to Trump.

@ flugelgirl, thanks.
