What's on your mind now?

[Bob]

How stupid a pop musician looks onstage when they're clearly lip syncing.  Dance around, fake sing.... It looks a bit silly.  I wonder what the performer is thinking when they're doing that.

Sorry - I thought that it had commenced at what I assumed to have been the advertised time of 2.30 p.m. and my reference to its ending at 1.30 p.m. was a typo for 1.30 a.m.! That said, as the perforamance really did end at 0.30 a.m., did he take rather shorter intervals than the c.35 minutes and c.55 minutes that he took in Glasgow 12 days previously?

Best,

Alistair

First interval 30mins, second 45mins. And he played both the second and third movements in about 15mins less time than planned, so instad of the expected ent time of 1.05AM the end came at 0.30AM.

It was a most stupendous and elative experience to be there....

Have heard no reports from anyone that went

Let me just say that in my opinion pop and "classical" are both forms of music in the same sense that soot and diamonds are both forms of carbon.

I wanna know how much out of tune is my piano... I think it's a little less than half tone... but probably I'm wrong I tried it like I pressed one key on my piano (a g cause I like singing that one ) and then I was singing it like mmm and went to my keyboard and then I pressed a g there and a f# and I tried that a few times and then I kinda thought that my piano is almost half tone out of tune.... but I don't know if I was singing that right all the time because my piano and my keyboard are in different places so i had to breath while I was going from one to another so I had to stop singing and so I'm not sure if I started singing exactly the same again     I think I will try again

If you have a friend that plays violin they might have a tuning fork in their case. Then you'll know for sure. On many keyboards you can adjust pitch so it should be fairly easy to get both the acoustic and the electronic to match.

I see a lot of discussion about ear training here on this board. In my day it was not a big deal to be able to take musical dictation, etc. If it is, then an earnest student should try to get all her instruments playing the same pitch as the lessons and tests use.

[littletune]

Well my best friend was learning to play the violin for 5 or 6 years (from 5 or 6 till 11 years old) but she didn't like it at all, so she stopped and I tried to convice her to play so we could someday play together but she doesn't want to... and now she's in London till October 
I know my piano HAS to be tuned!! But I'm not sure when exactly... maybe in August or September  we'll see  i can't wait!

Tell me littletune, what kind of piano do you have?

[littletune]

Tell me littletune, what kind of piano do you have?

I have a Kawai. Do you want to know exactly which one, cause I have to look then I don't remember exactly anymore   

[birba]

Is it a grand piano - baby grand, half grand, etc.?  Kawai is a good solid piano for a student.  the other day I played on a young Chung.  It was the first time.  it wasn't bad.  better then a lot of yamahas.

[Bob]

I was trying to remember if littletune was French.  Or maybe that was lucylucy.  And maybe I'm having deja vu again.

[birba]

I get the feeling she's english.  Hey, littletune, what's your nationality?

[littletune]

No it's an upright piano  (we don't have that much money and space for a grand piano). And it's even a small upright piano (console piano). I didn't even think I will ever have a real piano, I was supposed to get  a digital one, but then me and my mum went to a piano store and they only had real pianos and they convinced my mum that it's a lot better that she buys me a real piano I was soooooooooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!! i still am!          

Bob why do you think I'm someone else again? I'm Slovene (or slovenian or how you say it ) but we have some realtives in Switzerland (and even in Canada)

[go12_3]

My word...does it really matter where littletune comes from??? 
She's a sweet person and speaks out her mind.   
 I lived all over the world and it doesn't matter what nationality I am...GO figure   

[Bob]

I think I'm getting littletune mixed up with someone else again.

[go12_3]

I think I'm getting littletune mixed up with someone else again.

It's okay, Bob...there's a lot of people in PS   

[littletune]

I think I'm getting littletune mixed up with someone else again.

But why? I think you're just kidding

[Bob]

I know.  I know.  I wasn't kidding.  I just getting personalities mixed up. 

[littletune]

Personalities?  why do you get personalities mixed up?  I'm confused now 

[go12_3]

Personalities?  why do you get personalities mixed up?  I'm confused now 

I'm confused  now too on what Bob just posted!  personalities?   

[thalbergmad]

Unusually, I have done about 3 hours practise, so that is on my mind at the moment.

[Bob]

I'm getting littletune mixed up with lucylucy.  Never mind.  Proceed.

[littletune]

I don't really understand how can Bob mix me up with lucylucy  . I mean i don't know her but I read this thread from her
https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php?topic=37180.0
and I'm REALLY not anything like that! Well I use a lot of smileys but not the way she does! I don't really understand the way she uses smileys  and I sure don't talk anything like her! Oh well  it doesn't matter I guess 

[Bob]

I think it was the smileys.  Too many people in the forum.  I can't keep track of them all.

[birba]

Oh god, I know.  In fact, the first time I read littletune, I mixed her up with that lucy nut.  The difference is night and day!!

[go12_3]

littletune is sweet and nice and it's great to have her around here       
and she shared us what she's learning on her piano and that neat of her to do that   
Although I didn't know lucylucy, but read a few of her posts....abit uncomprehensible in my
opinion

Thank you!!!      well i know I'm sometimes a little weird and stupid and annoying too... but  I'm just me   

[go12_3]

Thank you!!!      well i know I'm sometimes a little weird and stupid and annoying too... but  I'm just me   

Oh, you are not annoying!    :)Last year there was a member(she was 12 years old), and she was rude to me and stole my profile icon to use on her profile.  I had to report to nils to ban her.  She made my life here miserable.  So, littletune, you are just fine in being you   

[oxy60]

I'm very glad littletune revealed her country. I thought Poland for the longest time seeing her posts. When she mentioned a National Holiday I'd never heard of I scratched Poland. During the World Cup there were teams from eastern Europe I couldn't place, only guess at where they were. Littletune, could you help me with a little geography? Is there a major river or two running through your country?

[birba]

You really speak a perfect English, littletune!!!  I would have sworn you were english because you always say my "mum"!

Thank you I don't know why I say mum what should I say? mom? I don't know why I say somethings the way I do  i guess I just get used to saying something don't know how and don't know when  just happens

My country is very small And yes my country was in the World Cup and we were playing against USA and UK  and we lost  not that I care so much 
Well I think the major rivers in our country are river Sava, river Drava and river Mura. But they're major for our country, I'm not sure if they're major like for the world And they probably don't have the same name in other countries  And our neighbour countries are Austria and Italy and Croatia and Hungary. Oh and our country looks kinda like a chicken on the map 
here's something about my country in wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovenia
and about the geography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Slovenia   (except I don't know why it says we don't have any water cause we do  oh well  )
And you can ask if you wanna know something else

Duh.  Cats who look like Hitler.  Or Kitler.

Thank you! Yes, there are references on the net but it is always better to hear from someone on the ground. Your answer was just perfect for me.

Your team played very well and should be taken seriously. After all it is one of the 32 best teams in the world.

Yes, if I got eaten by a bull, then the result would be about 50% of my posts.  Maybe I did get eaten by a bull.

Or second breakfast.   And the post-breakfast snacks.

Rain. It's just raining so much now, and it got really cold too. First it was very very hot and now it's too cold for summer! Today when I woke up it was really cold! And now I'm sneezing!
