This or That

[vitanola]

As far as music, I don't limit myself
to one style or era.

Neither do I, though I generally don't seek out stuff which features electronic instruments (Hazel Scott and Korla Padit excepted)

What, no Clara Rockmore?

What, no Clara Rockmore?

Naw! Years ago I knew a fellow in Miami whose obsession with the Theremin cured me of any particular interest in it.

Acoustic or Electrical?

Accoustic.
There’s nothing quite like it.
Although I have favorite “electrical" sounds.

For me, I don’t see them in the same category.
Much depends on the mood I’m in.
In my “yute”....electric rock made my stay overseas tolerable,
at least it did for me.
I realize that it can be jarring and that’s putting it mildly,
but somehow it helped me.

I also like the ones that vitanola has mentioned or posted
from the very early years.
They always put me in a very good mood.


Piano or violin rendition of your favorite instrumental melody?

Ten years ago, I would have said piano, but I've come to really enjoy string and the violin much more now.

But as to piano or, more specifically, piano men:

Celebrating the New Year:

Watching New Year’s celebration on TV
by yourself or a friend and going to bed?

Going downtown to be with the crowd
and friends and celebrate the New Year?

Last year I was working on an oil painting and completely forgot until Polo got spooked by the fireworks coming from downtown.

 

[scottyrocks]

Definitely the first one. And not by myself.

Waking up.

Alarm clock?
