Music you like but don't want your friends to know you like it

[IMA SOL MAN]

this one?!?

nope, never heard of it...

but here it is for all's listening pleasure.

Reminds me of two things:

1. The Lawrence Welk Show. My folks and grandparents watched it--I would find somewhere else I needed to be.

2. The Muzak in my doctor's office waiting room back in the 1960's.

A bit before my generation-not my cup of tea.

"Dies Irae" by Verdi, as performed by Sir Georg Solti. The end of the piece leaves much to be desired, but... Never heard "Hymn of Nations" before, and need to listen further.

 

[PhotonWrangler]

Does anyone remember "A Walk In the Black Forest" by Horst Jankowski, a cheery little tune from decades ago, was popular on AM radio.

Dave

Yes, I love that tune! It has some faint echoes of Vince Guaraldi in it.

I've listened to AM radio for decades and was never lucky enough to hear that.

 

[PhotonMaster3]

I love opera music… I even flew to another country to watch my friend perform. My buddies called me a homo despite having a wife and kids

 

[Monocrom]

Well, we're all Homosapiens.
So, it was nice of them to acknowledge you as a human-being.

Wasn't the DJ in the Opera station in GTA3 a boy lover?

It was a long time ago...when the earth was green...oops, starting to sound like the Irish Rovers!

I prefer Leonard Berstein's take on Lacrimosa. He cut the tempo in half or even slower.

I listened to opera when I was in high school. Still do, but the looks I got in high school were priceless.

Here's one I liked in high school but never would have admitted it.
"Hey Byk, you like that song by the English Beat?"

Me


Playing it a few minutes ago I saw my bird bobbing her head to the music.

Minimag the gray cockatiel enjoys a good tune regardless who's playin' it.

 

[bykfixer]

Here's one I crank up when alone. No way I'm lettin' my friends know I like it. Not even minimag

 

[Flying Turtle]

I never get tired of the late, great Stan Rogers.
