bahahaha, yeah i live. been doing a lot lately. started using a new browser (really big step for me) called Mozilla. it is really good, because not only does it have different "themes" or "skins" but it is free, and based on netscape a little so it is very user friendly. . i am going to a willie nelson concert in a little while so i am excited. =)

Congratulations on getting the life! ;D Sure, I know. Life is more than one type of music. Now, if you'd get into Beethoven you'd hear some REALLY heavy metal music.

Hi Iago,
I was joking--big time. I knew what you meant.
Back in the early '70s there was a lot of classical/rock crossover. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer did a lot of transcriptions of classical music (Pictures at an Exhibition was a spectacular favorite of theirs). The Moody Blues did an album with a symphonic orchestral accompaniment. The Who did a version of Tommy with The London Symphony. There were others.

Frankly, the disco versions are something I'd rather forget. One thing that the E,L & P version of Pictures at an Exhibition demonstrated to me was that the dynamic range of a symphony orchestra still exceeds three guys and a stage full of electronics. Also, the lyrics weren't an improvement over the Moussorsky/Ravel version. Another example of the cross-over of the time was Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull. I recently found Anderson on a recording made at a JS Bach 400th birthday celebration (Anderson is still too breathy to displace Galway or Rampal on the classical concert stage--but his style works well with rock band). Another Jethro Tull recording I came across was a Pibroch that was ear splitting--as befits its source.

Hey Iago!

Hey Iago--nice to meet you! Randomly speaking of music, I think some punk band really has to do a version of Ave Maria in Latin--I mean, it's the music of our times! I think that would be so cool. But maybe it's just me. ~Juliet~
