radiofloyd Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Love this. Love the story behind it too. "In 1993, I was invited out to an inner-city camp at Montgomery Bell made up of mostly African American kids from the W.O. Smith Music School in Nashville. Because I was fairly new to this kind of education outreach, I was nervous about how to hold the interest of eight and ten year olds. I had just written a new mandolin piece but had not named it, so I got a notepad and passed out a slip of paper to each child. I asked the children to listen to me play my new piece and to write down what they wanted the tune to be named. Some of the titles were fantastic; I could have easily used several of them. One ten-year old wrote down the title for my tune, “Butterfly’s Day Out.” It was so poetic. “Butterfly’s Day Out” would soon become a favorite, and one I later recorded with Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer." -Mark O'Connor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craymen Edge Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I was talking to a mate online about going to see Red Hot Chili Peppers with support from Babymetal next month, which lead to having to find videos to explain Babymetal to them. This caused me to fall down a youtube rabbit-hole leading to this awesome video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCH Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Not really into music. I think of it more as background noise than anything else. That said, I've always felt women are better singers than men, There are a couple of exceptions (Mercury, Bowie) but the range in this song is one example I give to prove my point: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So time to plaster this thread with some ...less contemporary, songs of the season, until I (hopefully) go away on the stag do in under two weeks. First up, one (NSFW) for the Nerds...

OCH Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Of course 'Love' can mean different things, especially in this bonkers era. I found this little cover version from the 80's in fact, that perfectly sums up the attitude of our Modern times. Even the video is on point...
