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

Now let us have some Venetian Mascarade...by Ernesto Cortazar.....1940 â€" 2004.... who was a contemporary classical composer and pianist....He composed background music for more than 75 motion pictures...Link...

Have to say, their costumes are spectacular...

Beautiful music, Jackie. A while back I did some jigsaw puzzles of the Venice Carnival on my Kindle. Gorgeous costumes and poses.

Radioman34

How embarrassing; late for my own concert :-[

so_P_bubble

well, Don was enjoying some local fruit (Pomelo) and newly baked pastry that he helped make. That made him forget the time!

Vanilla-Jackie

Excuses, excuses...now what was the real reason... ;D
Now Bubble, did his pastry turn out better than his last attempt?...

Hi Jackie, Hi MarsGal, Hi Bubble.  Bubble has provided my alibi and that's the one I'm going with. I'm working on some photographic evidence to corroborate my story as well.

JeanneP

If it is a pie he is making he will forgo anything to get at it. He should have eaten a lot of sweets last week. He should be able to cook well once he gets home again.

I forgot to turn the computer on to hear him today also.  Was so windy I kept it off.
JeanneP

Vanilla-Jackie

DON....and the camera never lies...

Radioman34

Did anyone beside me forget about daylight saving time?

MarsGal

Oh nuts! Yes, but I also forgot about the show. My head was wrapped up in other things.

and we were both engrossed, looking at the hundreds pictures we took of Purim costumes...What fun!

Vanilla-Jackie

Bubble, what is an hour between friends...  ;)  :)

JeanneP

 Such great memories for you both to have for later.

I am stuck indoors today. Snowing. Hard. Think will just watch movies and read. May have to shovel it this time.
JeanneP

Tomereader1

Oooh, snow.  It's about 60 degrees w/sunshine, after a drizzly chilly morning.  Hope you all dont get snow-bound.
Get someone to shovel for you...you don't need to be doing that!

JeanneP

Hard to get now if it is not a big job. Teens Don't want to work.
JeanneP

MarsGal

There you are, Don. I thought for a minute you forgot yourself.

It looks like I worked ahead a bit on the Latin, so I think I will just - oops! nix that, the cats have the futon so I can't - stretch out, listen and read.

Radioman34

Hi MarsGal. I missed it again: we are not on daylight time yet and I forgot :-[

so_P_bubble

These changes of time are really annoying, especially when it is not all the countries on the same day.

Hi MarsGal.   It seems our regulars are not here since Don took his vacation :(

MarsGal

Yes, I noticed Bubble. I missed some of these, plus some I like to hear over and over again. Then there is my Latin; I use this time to do some translation. Last week we had a break which was a part of the reason I forgot to show up. This program, so far, does not sound familiar.


MarsGal

Right on que, here is one I like to hear often, Caucasian Sketches. The Polovetsian Dances are another that just seems complimentary.

MarsGal

Oh good, I am done with my Latin and Oscar, on cue, removed himself from the futon. Now a have a spot to stretch out and read.

MarsGal

Sweet Dreams, Don and Bubble.

Vanilla-Jackie

A name I have just stumble across, Don see if you are aware of him?...
Wikipedia:

Stamatis Spanoudakis was born in Athens Greece. Very early on he began to occupy himself with music.

He first studied Classical music ( guitar and theory ). He later played bass guitar and keyboards in a number of bands, in the sixties and the seventies, in Athens, Paris and London where he lived and recorded his first albums.

He later returned to Classical music and resumed his studies of composition, first in Wurzburg Germany with professor Bertold Hummel and then in Athens with professor Konstantinos Kydoniatis.

He was then attracted to his third love - Byzantine music, which led him to Greek songwriting and instrumental music.

Since then he is consciously trying to reconcile his three musical influences (Rock, classical and Byzantine), in his music.

He wrote numerous hit songs (words and music) for most major Greek singers.

He also wrote the music for many successful films in Greece, Germany and Italy, for the theater and television and has recorded so far more than sixty albums.

Since 1995, he concentrates on instrumental music, based on Greek historical or religious themes, a music that has an unprecedent appeal in Greece.

Stamatis lives in a quiet suburb with his wife Dori and their four dogs. He has his own studio where he records his music, being the composer, arranger, producer, performer and engineer of his work...

Jackie that composer is completely unknown to me. I tried to follow up some of the other links, especially the ones that tie in with his interest in byzantine compositions but had no success. The link you provided was an excellent example of his talent; I'd love to hear more of it.
