Thick As A Brick: Jethro Tull

I made a CD of 21 dance tunes for my young kids with songs from Stray Cats, Turtles, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Pointer Sisters, Naked Eyes, Betty Everett, Temptations, Monkees, and Hall & Oates. All the songs are fun and have a nice driving beat, so we've been listening to it a lot.

Coldplay is awesome. And I AM old. My son really likes their current song called "Clocks" (I think), so we bought him the CD for his 9th birthday. I like it a lot. And he has figured out how to play the middle part on the piano. Jodi

Michael Card: Starkindler

gryphon:
what type of music is this? lunasa, loreena mckennitt, michael card?

i've never heard of these before.

_brad

Lunasa is celtic, McKennitt is celticish, Card is a Christian musician, and this CD has a celtic flavor. It appears you happen to have picked out some recent celtic music. In addition to classical I listen to celtic, bluegrass, blues, new age, and lots of jazz. Thrown in there is other stuff that I don't know how to describe, such as Tangerine Dream and Mannheim Steamroller. I have excellent taste in music.

Michael Card reminds me of a Canadian folk music group called Barde. They performed back in the mid 70's at the University of Chicago Folkfest. I have a couple of their albums.

I'm listening to some Clementi sonatas performed by Pietro Spada, not my favorite pianist, but one who has done a great deal to bring some early music to light.

Ken

I have never heard Michael Card but I do know Barde. I too saw them back in the 70's and have both their albums. Very good band. In fact after I bought my audio burner they were one of the
first transfers I made form vinyl to disc. Just listened to it last week when some Newfies dropped by for dinner.

Renauda,

Wow! I thought I was the only Barde fan in North America. Their music has held up pretty well. They were quite a compelling group, sorry they broke up.

Ken

No actually there are quite a few Barde fans from around Edmonton. Particularly so because we host the 2nd or 3rd largest Folk Festival ( Edmonton Folk Music Festival )in North America. Celtic type music is extremely popular here.

Any of you remember Canadian folk/pop singer when Valdy organized a cross Canada tour of Canadian folk and pop performers some years ago (maybe 10 years ago) - and Barde reunited for that tour. That's the last I heard of them. Their sound was much more electric then from what I remember of them in the 70's. I believe they were a French Canadian group - and much of their music had a French folk flair. They were excellent if you liked Celtic folk music(which I do)

Consider yourself to have been blessed with the company of good people. Next time you see them, ask them what part of Newfoundland are they from. It's the first question anyone here asks anybody from home that they meet while they're away.

Jamie (from Mount Pearl)

actually,I'm glad I didn't hear the "electrified Barde." They made a glorious sound with traditional instruments.

Ken

Kluurs, I remember being at a folkfest in the mid 70s in Chicago.

To be sure our house was indeed blessed with their good company and spirit 'til the wee hours of the morning. One is from St. John's and the other is from some little village on "The Rock".

Still recovering from the "blessed evening".

thanks for the info!! -- my brother has tried to get me interested in some of his celtic music for a while... I guess it's time I had a listen!! he, too, is a big mannheim steamroller fan. I have heard their music. for some reason (i don't know why) it just doesn't appeal to me.

jazz is GREAT. I heard Diane Schuur recently in concert & LOVED her!! I have almost all of Sanborn's recordings.. but i guess he is really blues...

(PS for some reason tangerine dream just reminds me of rebecca demornay...)

The U of C folkfest was typicaly held in winter, and I think that added something to the warmth and spirit of the music held in Mandel Hall. It was a good time for exploration of early music as well as folk music. Barde was one of several groups performing. I think they may have performed at more than one year.

There was a duo performing, one performer of whom was named "Duck Donald"...honest!

I still have some tapes that I'd like to transfer to CD -- the closing of the Earl of Old Town and some highlights from the folk fests of those years -- must get around to it -- before I sound too much like my parents.

Apple, were you in college in Chicago?

Ken

Oh yes, my teacher studied with Landowska..

Gryphon, you've said that before and I agree. If you have anymore digital sheet music to recommend, please do. I like that Canon in C better than any of the D's I've put together.

I don't remember that folkfest particularly. I went to every live music event available if possible. U of C '78. Palindrome was there in the 70s too, but I'm not sure what years.

Bizarre!!! I vaguely ( ) remember seeing Duck Donald at a tiny Folk Festival near Calgary in about 1976 or 77. What really stands out from that festival was the impromptu Bluegrass jam that just happened. It was the first time I had ever seen anyone play a Dobro- I was hooked there after and had to learn to play.

Then I recommend Altan, and of course the Chieftans. There's lots of good Celtic music besides and we can discuss in email if you wish. There's Celtic rock, too, like Wolfstone. Then there's people who take the various pipes to a different level like Davy Spillane. (By different pipes I mean there are several different types of "bagpipes.") Kind of like Bela Fleck does with the banjo.

As for jazz I am a huge Jean Luc Ponty fan(atic). Also Acoustic Alchemy, Ancient Future, Rippingtons, Craig Chaquico, Peter White, Dave Brubeck...too, too many to name. None of those have vocals. If you let me know your postal address (in email) I'll send you something that will change your mind about Tangerine Dream.
