Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

Gloria, I think Fantasia is my best friend's all time favorite movie.

I just checked on Youtube for things done by Anna Russell and find there are many pieces available.  Don, a very nice program today.

Larry Anna Russel was a true genius and was beloved all throughout Canada.

Avoiding the early morning news this morning. Will tune in later in the day. In the meantime, I listened to Tartini's Violin Sonata in G minor, ''Devil's Trill Sonata''  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7rxl5KsPjs I don't recall hearing any Tartini before.


Here is his Sarabande https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuXWv-e4wGg This could put me to sleep before I fully wake up this morning. Very soothing.

Is that Copeland "Rodeo" a foot stamping one. If so better get my boots on.

Will be cold here tomorrow and so I will be listening.

Hi Gloria, I'm here as well. 
That Jazz announcer has too quiet a voice for that job!
Don's voice does better and my son in law says it even helps him drive better when he has the program on.

Radioman34


so_P_bubble

I love this last tune... Orfeo Negro?
You have a cold Don???

Gloria

BUBBLE  of course your son in law likes Don's voice especially since he know Don

HI DON

Bubble I don't have a cold, but I thought my voice sounded strange over the headphones

Gloria

DON  love the piano to start your program, that pianist is fast on the keys.

That Wedding music almost sounded like church music! (said Mahi)

Radioman34

I think Mahi captured the intent of the composer.  The work was in a cantata form and cantatas  were generally but not always based on religious or  solemn themes.  Taylor's work was not religious, but it was solemn and Mahi did well to pick that up.

Arles is such a picturesque town that  I visited  in 1962 before coming to Israel.
For me the Provence is the best of  France, typical in the friendliness of its inhabitant and nature luxuriant, bathed in bright sun.  It is probably why it is favored much by painters and artists

so_P_bubble

I love the Copland... but it also brings us nearly to the end :(

Gloria

BUBBLE  I am enjoying Copland, too.  One more to go and then it is over for another week.

Bye bye and good evening to all! It was  lovely... to the end.

Gloria

DON  everytime I hear Rodeo I get something different out of it.  Rising of the Moon is a beautiful gentle piece. I enjoyed it very much. Should be playing later when the huge moon starts rising.  Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.
