Bach For A Saturday

Los Romeros playing the third movement of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #3.

I had the privilege to see this performed live over 20 years ago. The Romeros are a father and his three sons.

dreamy music....I love it

I enjoyed it, but isn't it a little like the proverbial dog walking on it's hind legs?

Ah, c'est merveilleux. Merci, mon ami.

Now, how about "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik"?

And while I'm thinking about it, Vivaldi wouldn't sound too bad that way, either.

Get a few pianos together and they all sound the same.

Get a few guitars together, and that's what I hope Heaven will be!

Wonderful! Absolutely Wonderful! Denny, you've set the bar. Now I expect something just as good every Saturday (and no, boobage doesn't count).

When I see musicians like that, I realise just how crappy I am at guitar playing. I would give anything to have even half that talent.

However, the ability to make music (even crappy music) is one one life's great joys.

Thanks for the vid, Denny.

Are you deployed in the middle east?

Denny- Nice music! I prefer horn quartets, though... ;-) (And no, the above Anna is not me.)

Anna - Nope. Too old (60) and the military doesn't take cripples. I served my time from 1965 to 1969. I currently live in Beautiful Dunwoody Georgia.

Just farookin' WOW!

What can I say?

Thanks, Denny. I've always liked the Brandenburgs.

Babalu - I once owned a record of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" performed on kotos. For the uninitiated, that's the large string instrument usually associated with Japanese geishas. It was a fabulous piece. No, I don't remember the label.
