Domestic Goddess: Is this correct, if one would like to post/share a recipe, we do so here?  If so, was searching to see if there were separate recipe categories?

Listener Alert!!  Chopin up next.

Gloria

DON  thanks. This is what I was waiting for. I have been enjoying your program but for me this is the best of the day. I sure remember trying to ply this. Could never move my fingers that fast.

Symphony X is not named for the X Don?  :2funny:

Gloria

BUBBLE  you must not have seen many American western movies. Listening to the Big D I can almost see cowboys riding the range or getting into gunfights.  Comes from seeing all  those old western movies on Saturday afternoons when I was young.

Bubble do you think anyone would believe it if we told them that this music was composed just for the X?
Gloria you have captured essence of what that music is about.  Aaron Copland also captures the spirit of Americana in his music.

MarsGal

I suspect some of the Symphony X was used in a Western or two. I recognized a bit of it.

Radioman34

MarsGal I thought parts of it were familiar as well

so_P_bubble

You are right Gloria, didn't see many of those.

Gloria

DON  I have watched so may western movies and I still enjoy a good one better than today's movies. I remember watching John Wayne in his early days when his acting was quite hammy, not like he got into his roles as he gained experience. Some passages in the Symphony X were very familiar.

MARSGAL  how could anyone miss the clip clop of horses hooves unless they never watched a western.

BUBBLE  how could I guess that you missed western movies?

I went on a brief mission to find out what movies the Symphony might have been used. No luck . IMDB lists a Don Gillis, composer, but he is a Canadian and to my knowledge still alive.

I am not too fond of this last Handel but wait for the Mozart finale, more suited to my mood.

delight - thank you and bye for this week :)

Gloria

DON  as usual your 3 hours just fly by. Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon. Looking forward to next week.

Hi Radioman34
I still cannot pick up your radio station and show

Going to be hard to remember people and the name changes for awhile. Some have had them for years. I even had mine inseniornet.

There is a local saying:  if you change your name, you change your luck.  It could be for better or for worse.

MarsGal

My morning romp through Project Guternberg produced this Scifi short story containing short "bios" of galactic composers.  https://www.gutenberg.org/files/51622/51622-h/51622-h.htm

Kelly

Hi Bubble
Do you believe the saying?

Kelly

so_P_bubble

I sure do.   When a child has a serious illness or an accident, he is given a new name.  Names are important.  Ask the Chinese when they have to name a newborn.

Jeanne Lee

The saying I've heard always seemed to be related to a woman's marriage:  "Change the name and not the letter, change for worse and not for better."

Hi Bubble
Say the child has an illness that he or she recovers from fully.  If they are given a new name, do they revert to their proper name when the illness is gone?

Kelly

so_P_bubble

of course not! she could have a recurrence of the same!

New to me, Eric Whitacre was just appointed, in March Artist-in-Residence at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angles.

Don have you ever heard of Virtual Choir? Fascinating. over 2,000 participants and representing 12 countries.

Another of his choral works. Be sure to read the info about this work.

This piece appeals to the spacenut in me: Deep Fields, composed for Orchestra and Chorus

I include this more for the comments I read. It seems Mr. Whitacre has inspired/rejuvenated a few musicians. I don't usually see this kind of comment here, when I read them.

Kelly

Hi Bubble
Not sure I understand!

Why change a Christian name that we were christened as.

Kelly

so_P_bubble

Never mind Kelly.  I am not good at explaining it.

Kelly

Hi Bubble
I am a good listener, please continue.

It might be a custom of another culture.

Right Rammel.  That is what it probably is. Isn't it comforting to think that you can somehow change your luck?  It would not work for buying lottery tickets. ha ha ha

Kelly

Hi Bubble
Lottery tickets, I will never win as I don't buy lottery tickets!
