Goodnight music

[colonelbuckrobely]

I love Glen Campbell. I know, I know, call me old fashioned but I just can't help myself.



I hope you enjoy this too.

I like Glen Campbell...that make me old fashioned too. I also listen to Roy Orbitson, John Denver, and a whole list of others....thanks to my mothers kind influence.

Sounds like our music tastes are similar. I never knew that Glen Campbell was so proficient playing bagpipes until I found the link above. What I enjoy most about him is that his music is not full of references to violence and sex.

Bagpipes...they give me good chills. Almost like I have some Scottish or Irish blood in me. But I don't.

I remember...and listening to the bagpipes when I was a kid at a parade in Minneapolis. I have loved the sound of them ever since. Some of the songs get me a little emotional. When played at a funeral, they are sometimes breath taking to the point of tears.

I grew up listening to 50's and 60's music. New Rock and Roll was not allowed in our home until I was in high school. But I was more country. Still am. But I have an extensive listening tastes, as I also like classical as well.

What is missing from music today is the heart and soul. Now it is all about perpetuating feelings of mood and experience. Their is no message but bad. We wonder why the youth is growing up all mixed up.

I love country music of the 50s, 60s and 70s the most. Some of those country singers didn't lead very good lives but their music was great. For music of today, I really love Alan Jackson's CD of hymns "Precious Memories". I love Blue Grass music as much, especially Bill Monroe. My husband and I watch RFD-TV a lot because the old time stuff is being rebroadcast there. Ray Price has always been my all time favorite, even when he went to having an orchestra behind him and giving up his honky tonk style.

You know the difference between an onion, and a bagpipe?
You cry why you cut up an onion!

Er, the difference between a lawnmower, and a bagpipe?
You can tune the lawnmower!

Bada-boom-boom.

(insert sound of crickets....)

Did you hear about the drum major that accidentally locked the keys in his car at the gig?
It took 2 hours to get the pipers out!

(more crickets)

I love bagpipe music too but it does make me sort of sad. A friend was a policeman in Wash. D. C. and he died of cancer when he was only in his mid thirties. The funeral for him was enormous! with lots of bag pipe music. The fire dept. and police depts. from all over came. You know how they do it up BIG when one of their own dies.

(Sigh)
No one appreciated my bagpipe jokes.

Not all tunes are laments, true, they are most known in the USA.

One of the premier folk bands from Scotland. Occasionally they even manage to play the occasional concert here in MN. Usually way down in Zumbrota, at an old Carnegie library. Wonderful venue, it's almost like listening to them in your living room. Seating for about 150 or so.



Not goodnight music though, more of a goodmorning type.
Man, you just had to get me going on the pipe music. Here I thought I was the only one between St Cloud, and Canada that appreciated it. From experience, I can tell you walking into the Jenkins VFW with a set of pipes gets you tre/watch?

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I actually did enjoy your bagpipe jokes.
