Let's hear it for the DU musicians

[Droopy]

I just realized how much music has enhanced my life a few minutes ago while sitting here and listening to a new band I discovered a few weeks ago. The music makes me happy. I'm a trucker and I have satellite radio as well as am/fm in my truck and I listen to music all night while I am out running up and down the road and making deliveries. I would probably be very depressed about my work if I didn't have music to help me through the night. And I like anything rock and roll- from the 50s to the present; from black metal to adult contemporary. I don't go out anymore to the bars, but when I did I always enjoyed the live music. I was probably one of the few people there who were actually grooving with the bands instead of trying to pick someone up.

Here's to the DU musicians! :toast: Keep playing and I'll keep listening.

1. Your welcome.

Often, people don't appreciate my mancannon.

7. That is a rather "manly" instrument.

Do you know (or now of) any female trombonists?

8. S, I loved the guy who played the 'bone if Mingus's

big band, but I can't remember his name. Know who I mean - he was one of the really great bop players....

12. Kneppler

Probably Mingus's most highly regarded trombone player. Mingus ended up punching him, breaking his teeth.

13. That's him. A master of a difficult instrument, great ear, probably the fastest

trombonist I have ever heard.

Fuckin Mingus was not very tightly wrapped much of the time.

Thanks.

14. I think his most stunning work was Haitian Fight Song

Great song.

A very rare disc these days is the self titled debut of the New York Jazz Ska Ensemble and they do a fierce version of said song. Check it out, if you can find it.

2. What if we don't think they're any good?

... well, keep on trying! Better luck next time!

:P

3. Don't tell me you don't like any music at all

[redqueen]

4. No I just mean the DU musicians.

I'm like you, I love all kinds of music. I think music belongs on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

[Droopy]

5. Ah, well I'm sure somebody likes them

I agree with the psychological need angle.

[redqueen]

6. Ah I was only kidding of course.

I even included a smiley.


Actually... I bet music could be considered part of the creativity thing in the hierarchy...

[no name no slogan]

9. Heynow... I don't suck THAT bad...

Really

15. We only like musicians for friends, Howie...

Sorry...when I read "actually grooving with the bands instead of trying to pick someone up" I immediately went to Zappa's "Do You Like My New Car?"
