Music / My kind of music

Last post by daydreamer - May 30, 2025, 04:06:42 PM

Hi
I grew up with hard rock, rock
When I was old enough I went to disco and learned to Singalong with most popular songs there
Later I discovered new development of rock like nightwish
Discovered "the veronicas"
Later years discovered house music "Rebecca & fiona" Swedish duo

Singing and Google song videos with lyrics to help me learn complete new song text or when I only know part of song
When in school, singing angry sounding rock songs after school, to blow of steam, when other has teased me earlier
Singing Good lyrics makes me happy again

A friend was a skilled musician who never learned notes, I realised that mimicking new words in foreign language is same skill using music instrument to mimic other musician when lacking note reading skill

Good luck with that. I inherited an old harmonica from grandpa I never learn to play correctly, only making noise. The newer harmonicas have a tiny switch so you can play more notes

The only "instrument", is my human voice mimicking song I don't know the lyrics of

Maybe similar way to code, type in notes and save to midi file, would be easiest for coders?

And while we're at it in the realm of the violin family, let's don't forget the virtually unknown but inimitable Bulgarian gadulka:

Nikolai Kolev is probably the leading performer and exponent of the instrument; I've seen him live in decades past. Notice how he uses his fingernails, not the finger tips, to stop the strings.

It's another bowed instrument with sympathetics: 3 playing strings (tuned A-E-A) and 10 sympathetics that almost cover the chromatic octave. Not a member of the viol family, BTW, but instead related to the lyres (rebabs, etc.).

I have a gadulka that I got in Bulgaria and keep swearing that someday I'm going to learn how to play it, but not yet ...

So you're saying that all male Swedes are horny dudes?

Of course, otherwise swedes would become extinct long ago
Here also lives Danes,Finnish, former jugoslavia, Arabs...

Welll, there are normal reproductive urges, and then there's extreme horniness, which isn't the same thing.

It's like Groucho Marx once said: "I love my cigar too, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while".

Like our male moose here,grow big horns each year for mating season,after mating season is over,they lose those big heavy horns
:)

Humans arent so different men buy new porche and new clothes,women buy new clothes and makeup and other things too
