peter conti and gershwin

on: July 03, 2005, 09:52:31 PM

just heard peter conti play 'a gershwin medley' on the organ. it sounded really cool. somehow the clarinet, etc. sounded just right. gotta take a listen.

do you know why benches fall apart? it is because they have lids with little tiny hinges so you can store music inside them. hint: buy a bench that does not hinge. buy it for sturdiness.

no. my recording collection is quite limited, unfortunately. last year i bought all the beethoven symphonies, as many mozart pc's as i could, and haydn's creation with the george bernard shaw chorale. now, i am completely tired of them - and am looking for new stuff. oh, i bought a friend a cd of rebecca luker singing cole porter songs - that one is entitle 'anything goes.' if you like to extend range of cd's - buy that one! she has a great voice!

i heard peter conti on the radio here. along with a bunch of other organ music. one was charles ives variations on america. that was cool too. a lot of fireworks in the music.

much prefer live music, and spend more money on concerts than cd's. ok, and on books.
