Seven Songs Meme
Tagged by Jane, I happily comply:
"List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to."
- Digital Construction #3, Ted Smoker -- This is going to get a blog post all of its own sometime in the near future. My brother sent me a cd of some of his recent compositions just before I left for China. This tune in particular kept me company for much of the flight over.
- Peer Gynt (specifically, In the Hall of the Mountain King), Edvard Grieg -- Numbers 2, 3, & 4 are all on this list thanks to one of Ben's favorite shows, the Disney Channel's Little Einsteins. In every episode, they select a snippet of a famous classical tune and use it throughout the show. During the day, I've been playing the cds I have that match that day's show.
- Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, W.A. Mozart -- ditto.
- Symphony No. 9, Antonin Dvorak -- ditto ditto.
- El Barrio, Joe Henderson -- I've been on a Joe Henderson kick lately. Henderson's opening solo on this track is haunting.
- Foggy Mountain Breakdown, Flatt & Scruggs -- Just received a Flatt & Scruggs cd as a belated Christmas present from my dad. Yeehaw!
- Music for Airports, Brian Eno -- This is the music that we play to help Ben calm down at bedtime. If there is any music that is more soothing than this, I'd like to know what it is. Recordings of ocean waves or babbling brooks don't count.
