My name is Jim and I used to play the clarinet and drums way back in the dark
ages. I now confine my playing to the 4 CD players that I have scattered about
the house.
My tastes in music run the gamut from rap to classical, with some emphasis
on the rock of the 50's,60's,70's and 80's. I would eventually like to pursue
the clarinet and trumpet before I get too old and crotchety. ;)

I don't think so, but I've been told that I'm getting very opinionated
and am easily annoyed. I am a nice person, however I do have my moments.

(I am part of the first MTV generation, but I think it's helped to
broaden my musical exposure. to paraphrase a commercial, "if it's music,
I'll listen." as such, I've never been able to pigeonhole the music I
listen to. I have also always been one to share the music that
enjoy with others. currently, I'm learning what's known as "DJ
intuition": the ability to connect from one song to the next. [a lousy
definition, but, hey, I'm still learning!])
(I'll make an effort to discuss artists whose work I admire, and maybe
even discuss artists whose work I _don't_ admire, although those are few
and far between.)

Hi guys! I've read most of your introductions and feel like I'm learner among
pro's . I started out pretty late on music, and cannot play the guitar more
than a few chords. So I'm looking forward to learning a lot.

Hehehe..amongst professionals? No, most of the people on this conference are
active listeners of music. Ken, Mark, Mike, and others have extensive
discographies. There are musicians here, but most are not music educators,
nor professional musicians per se.
What you'll find is mostly discussion on commercial music, although other
subjects have been included.

Hey, I'm always ready to answer a "serious" musician question. And if I don't
know the answer, I usually know someone who does . . .

figured there might be..
however, I'm been trying to get Music Ed conversations started for months,
but the one music educator here isn't here very often.

I don't blame him. I notice that on various BBS systems once a person's area
of expertise becomes know, others expect to get for free what others pay for
in person . . .

'him'? No, I was talking about Leslie. She is very much involved in other
things.

Hi all :) I dont need to say I love music. Otherwise I wouldnt be here. Just
knew that there is a place where music is discussed, shared and most
importantly enjoyed. And I am here after thoroughly cursing myself for not
to have known this place till now. :) For the starters, I am from India. I
am practiaccly into everykind of music though sadly enough I cant play any
instrument. Would love to learn many before I die. :) Feel free to ask any
information about Indian music. I will share my knowledge however little it
may be.
Apart from Indian classical music, I love Mozart and Bach. And going by the
pop music, the Savage Garden of late. Bryan Adams, Richard Marx and Celine
Dion are also on my fav list <good for 'em> :)
Anyways, hope to get a response from all of ya !<too much to ask for? >
bye

Hi Fun Guy! I like Savage Garden, too, but I'm mostly into older pop.

Hey funnie! I'd like to learn a lot more about Indian music. The style
called raga and the sitar instrument are all I've heard about for the most
part. I've heard of other instruments that serve as drones, but I can't
remember their names. One is a tall, 2-stringed instrument played standing
up, and one was this accordion-like instrument I saw on MTV's Oddville (but
mind you, I thought it was cool).

Yeah. Raaga is the base upon which the Indian classical music is built.Each
raaga epitomizes a different style of composition of music.here are
as many as twenty five raagas. And there is some correspndense between the
raagas and the human moods.
Sitar is ofcourse one of the sweetest of the Indian instruments. Those
who are the fans of The Beatles should be knowing about it. The Beatles
have played along with Pandit Ravi Shanker ( Pandit in Indian language
means a maestro ! ) who is a sitar genius. Lumen - One of the instruments
you were talking about is Sarod. Sarod is also like Sitar. I cant make out
the other one. Most probably it could be a Tambora. And it is cool, I should
say. :)

jiffer, now that you have poked back into conference, you might be able to
bring some reminiscences of the Battlefield Band show to your Celtic Music
item, #67.

Thanks, Fun. Yep, George Harrison in particular brought the sitar to
attention by using it in a Beatles song. Initially, he was criticized since
he applied the Western music system to an Eastern instrument, but he was
praised later when it was found he wished to study the sitar seriously.
