Re: Completely OT: Gorecki - Symphony of Sorrowful Songs

I know it's a stretch. No drums at all in this piece, but it's music and we have a musically attuned group here. I just heard this piece tonight and it's killing me. Gorecki, Symphony No. 3. Wow. F#ckin' A. Discuss. The top of my head is missing at this point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVITZUQ...

Re: What is S.O.P.A ?

Let's not so easily forget it wasn't that long ago a bunch of gun happy American's had to go over and save Europes ass. If not for the US, all of Europe would be speaking German. Don't lecture me on history. My grandfather fought the Nazis and I have his old ID card in my living room, reminding me ...

Re: What is S.O.P.A ?

I see Morgenthalers point, sort of, with his break down of tools of defense that are accesible, but when we take the words off the paper and put them into play in real life things change. Sure if we all only had our fists, the world would be full of split lips and black eyes and nothing else. Good ...

Re: What is S.O.P.A ?

Sorry have to disagree. I am a regular citizen and I do not kill people. Seriously? It's not about you and me. It's about tendencies and statistics in different western societies. -- The issue is not whether citizens "attempt to gravely harm someone else". The issue is "when you feel...

Re: What is S.O.P.A ?

Morgenthaler, you are correct in saying that the US has more citizens killing citizens than most other civilzed countries, or even all of them. Gun laws do not stop criminals from acquiring and using guns. They only hurt the people like my father who had two pistols. He had to get a license and the...

Official Virgil Donati thread

I thought I'd put together a thread of some of the better videos (either quality wise or playing wise) of Virgil's playing over the years. There's way too many crappy smartphone clips floating around, so I'll be adding stuff to this thread along the way, as should you if you feel like it. I'll start...

Re: What is S.O.P.A ?

Ted's had the same message for America, freedom, gun rights, hunting etc...for decades. I dig him and his work ethic. A bit in-your-face...you bet. He does a lot of good. He's no caricature - that's just him. Emperor's of course is a figure of speech Hmm, I really, really, really disagree with you ...

Re: Tips for playing with brushes?

I'd (re-)visit Adam Nussbaum and Ed Thigpen, who are/were among my favorite brush players.
Spend time really paying attention to the sounds they produce. That makes it much easier to
learn how to produce those kinda sounds yourself.
