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

It's an eclectic blend of music for the programme with an interesting transcription of the JS Bach Toccata & Fuge into a tango. A couple of movie soundtracks are featured, including one by the composer who gave us those shrieking violins in Psycho, but be assured, you can relax with this one. And who remembers The Corn Is Green: a beautiful soundtrack from the 1979 movie version

That's a really interesting program; hope I can be there the whole time.  The Panufnik sounds interesting.  Which one is the Bach/tango?  You can do a lot of weird things with Bach, but if you respect him, they mostly come out good.

Radioman34

All primed and ready to go.

Gloria

I am here and listening to the jazz but waiting for the best starting in a few minutes.

Hi Gloria
Hi so_P_bubble
Hi Mars MarsGal
Hi Tomereader1
Yes, the news now runs six minutes instead of three.  Perhaps because I refused to allow a news cast at 2 o'clock

Gloria

Rather have more news to start than being interrupted in the middle of the program.

But that is not something new?...

Gloria

BUBBLE  I think we get too much news these days.

But being a teaching studio we have to cut some slack for the students. I'm the only person who gets that one hour exemption, and besides, in the summer I get the entire 3 hours to myself.

Gloria

DON  well you know they cannot deny Santa Claus anything or they will get a piece of coal in their stocking at Christmas. You are right, I have heard Csardas before and never knew the name. I have enjoyed classical music for years but seldom knew the one who wrote the beautiful music. Now back to peeling apples for a crisp and sauce while I listen.

Csárdás.... so enjoyable.

MarsGal

Okay, work stop. Volume up. I can't sit still when listening to The Bacchanale

Radioman34

MarsGal you know the rule: Resistance is futile.

I have my own little dream with this one. Horses flying across the desert, whirlwinds in battle, swords clashing, a short stop at the top of a dune to look down on the oasis,then the race down the dune and into the oasis, an interlude in the oasis, then up and off again.

One can never tire of Carmen. That violin version is superb

Pat

Great programme today, Don!

If I didn't know the background to the music I would find that a very plausible scenario.  Music does indeed let you draw your own pictures.

Hi Pat


JeanneP

Don.  I am having lots of problems on my Computer but you are coming in fine.  Long News on at the moment and I missed the Carmen.. My Favourite of all times.
JeanneP

Radioman34

JeanneP Hi.  better late  than never.

so_P_bubble

Snows of Kilimanjaro had Gregory Peck, Susan Hayward, Ava Gardner acting.  From '52!  I saw it the year after...

Melancolio - wow WOW    W O W

Gloria

What better way to do a job than listening to wonderful music?  My slow cooker is filled to the top with cut apples, skins and all except for the seeds. Will turn it on low before going to bed tonight and will smell good when I wake in the morning. I use a food mill so no skin goes through and it is smooth. Had some nice red apples so will have a nice color. I saved the biggest apples to pel for an apple crisp. Can do that tomorrow.
I did get to sit here and enjoy the Valse Triste with my eyes closed and picturing a ballroom with the couples dancing. In those ball gowns and the men looking so neat. Looks like I am not the only one who pictures things in some music.
