Gosh Stanley, I'd be impressed if any fan of Mixing It knew songs by Victor Herbert  I have quite a few of Herbert's songs but never yet heard his cello concerto which has been raved about recently, somewhere. |

thanks for your warm greetings
- indeed I am a fan of 'contomporary sound' alongside sounds more historical. Radio is a great passion, though I do not listen to R3 as much as R4 (perhaps not the best thing to say on this board?) but it still has a valuable real estate in my aural architecture.
Once again - thanks for your contented/inquisitive exhalations.

A warm welcome, ahh - sweet mystery of life? I can remember Exmouth Amateur Operatic Society doing Naughty Marietta when I was small. Not exactly world music, as I remember. |

Ah, DB, do you mean to say that you have never heard Nelson Eddy & Jeanette MacDonald duetting about the mysteries of life? Not exactly world music? ...."For 'tis love and love alone that rules the world." We used to swoon in the one and ninepennies! |

My parents told me that in the Radway Cinema, Sidmouth, in their youth "Ah sweet mystery of life" was the signature tune of the resident organist, as he rose in orange lights between the B movie and the main feature.
I am sufficiently young not to remember cinema organists, though I can certainly remember when cinemas only had one screen.
ahh is already learning a whole lot about music I have no doubt he will never want to encounter.
When I'm calling you, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo.
Will you love me too, ooo, ooo?

Unusually late in arriving on a welcome thread, though my welcome's none the less sincere, ahh. Hope you enjoy the sanity and madness here.
[On the subject of cinema organs, although I'd have thought they were before my time, I have vivid memories of going with a friend from the cast of my first panto (Rotherham, 1974) to see an Apes double-bill at the local Odeon on a non-matinee day and being pretty startled after the customary Pearl and Dean intermission to see the floor in front of the screen split apart and a large console rise through the gap with a grinning young lad already hard at work on the keys. The incongruity of this apparition bathed in pastel light in between two science-fiction movies with particularly modern scores wasn't lost upon the young Dough, who waxed somewhat hysterical, much to the consternation of the pensioners who comprised the greater part of the audience, and for whom the interval rather than the features were evidently the prime cause for a visit.]

LOL, Ron. I can imagine it. It's another age. Where are the snows of yesteryear? When I was a young girl just out of the convent...

Warmest welcome, ahh! Radio is a great passion, though I do not listen to R3 as much as R4 (perhaps not the best thing to say on this board?) Oh, no, no, no: I'm also a Radio 4 enthusiast and there are more of us on this message board. What are your favourite Radio 4 programmes? I have quite a few of Herbert's songs but never yet heard his cello concerto which has been raved about recently, somewhere. I have a Yo-Yo Ma recording of Herbert's Second Cello Concerto. It's a dramatic piece and I always have to think of silent movies when I hear it (that atmosphere). The Dvorák Concerto is also on this disc. Ah, DB, do you mean to say that you have never heard Nelson Eddy & Jeanette MacDonald duetting about the mysteries of life? Not exactly world music? No, not from THIS world, Stanley. But those old movies are certainly a part of MY world. I have a feeling that Jeanette's movies with Eddy have overshadowed her other movies. You already know "San Francisco" and do you remember this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuPBgt5PxWMOne of my favourites! [On the subject of cinema organs, although I'd have thought they were before my time, I have vivid memories of going with a friend from the cast of my first panto (Rotherham, 1974) to see an Apes double-bill at the local Odeon on a non-matinee day and being pretty startled after the customary Pearl and Dean intermission to see the floor in front of the screen split apart and a large console rise through the gap with a grinning young lad already hard at work on the keys.

Thank you for this lovely anecdote, Ron!  |

Warmest welcome, ahh! I'm also a Radio 4 enthusiast and there are more of us on this message board. What are your favourite Radio 4 programmes? I particularly like listening to: Front Row, In Our Time, Film Programme, Food Programme, Just A Minute, Mornington, News Quiz, etc. and of course Women's Hour. [On the subject of cinema organs, although I'd have thought they were before my time, I have vivid memories of going with a friend from the cast of my first panto (Rotherham, 1974) to see an Apes double-bill at the local Odeon on a non-matinee day and being pretty startled after the customary Pearl and Dean intermission to see the floor in front of the screen split apart and a large console rise through the gap with a grinning young lad already hard at work on the keys.

Indeed a great anecdote and just so, the experience of going to the cinema (rather than to see a particular film) is really rather wonderful, kept the pensioners off street corners I'm sure! The incongruity is almost endearing! Still the incongruity of our discussion about cinema of yore being bannered by gun-toting gangsters 'drugrunning' (the banner ad that seems to eating up half my screen) is also a little unsettling, give me a Wurlitzer any day. Can't shake the image of Don in Canadian Mountie costume now. Yes, there are some film OSTs worth avoiding! |
