But, I never have. My daughter took an interest in the guitar and can play a little. She learned from books and online videos. But, those teen years started and the guitar seldom is played. <br />I enjoyed your post. The story and the video.Lighthousegalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748294078711559186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360427196522365144.post-14016989031890149432011-09-15T09:04:18.083-06:002011-09-15T09:04:18.083-06:00Ahhhh, you've written of things very near and ...Ahhhh, you've written of things very near and dear to my heart. Once, a very long time ago, I played the oboe. And one of my all time favorite oboe solos to play was Scheherazade, by Rimsky Korsakov. How nice to learn a bit more about him!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221703763145912238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360427196522365144.post-75535530697675021822011-09-15T00:51:45.492-06:002011-09-15T00:51:45.492-06:00Marsalis does a great job with Flight of The Bumbl...Marsalis does a great job with Flight of The Bumblebee.

If it hadn't been for that I probably wouldn't have heard or known about many of the classics. Now with all the budget cuts I am sure that class was one of the first to go. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360427196522365144.post-38283317600696270852011-09-14T14:19:02.062-06:002011-09-14T14:19:02.062-06:00Wonderful rendition of the Flight of the Bumblebee...Wonderful rendition of the Flight of the Bumblebee - what fantastic technique and musicality.jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360427196522365144.post-91745403020216324402011-09-14T11:48:36.347-06:002011-09-14T11:48:36.347-06:00It was amazing (still is) the first time my friend...It was amazing (still is) the first time my friend and I heard, The Flight of the Bumblebee. What an amazing (and difficult) piece of music to be inspired to compose, and those who play it. I just feel breathless thinking a jazz musician playing it. Thanks for this musically informative post, and of course the pictures.S K Dittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13921025839827328955noreply@blogger.com
