TO ANYONE WHO HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO COMMENT
ON MY BLOG PLEASE TRY AGAIN.
IT SEEMS TO WORK IF YOU JUST TYPE IN YOUR NAME
OR ALSO WEBSITE - WE'LL SEE IF THIS TAKES CARE
OF THE PROBLEM.
SORRY FOR THE COMMENTS THAT I HAVE MISSED SO FAR.

OK, for a fellow Bach fan, I am trying.
jadedj - So you broke through.
Now, do you have a comment? :-)
Would you like to tell me your connection with Bach?
Do you play the piano?
Ever played the Goldberg Variations?
Do you know who Glenn Gould is?
Incidentally, something I have noticed. Probably half of the blogs I follow, or check on regularly, do not email me responses to a particular post...even though I check the subscribe button. I know it's not peculiar to me, as I have blogger friends who have the same problem. So what happens is, someone responds to a comment I make, and I don't know it. Frustrating.
See my last comment;-)
jadedj - I'm so ignorant about computer stuff.
In order to check comments, I do just that.
And the more comments I get the harder it gets.
Maybe I should try the email thing.
jadedj - Wait a minute, I think I get it. If I leave a comment on a blog but forget I left it, if I indicate 'subscribe' then I will know if that person commented on my comment. Right?
I may try that.
You got it! Yeah!

Hey it works and on Bach! ARRRGGGGHHHH Oh how I hated Bach fugues on organ. Bach on piano was bad enough for me to try to struggle through as a kid but on organ as a 27 year old man---- AYIEEEEEEEE. However I did manage to struggle through them to impress my music teacher, a cute little ten years younger college student who unfortunately I married shortly thereafter.
After I got rid of her I took up Sax and taught myself how to do some right good jazz, country and old time rock and roll. hahaha. Now you know a bit more of the rest of the story.
Sue, just an ficionado of Bach. No talent for the piano. I do play a bit of guitar and was in my younger days a blues drummer. But that is the extent of my musical forays.
Indeed I do know who Glenn Gould was.
Ticker - Well, you've gone from a cute college guy to a handsome, mature looking man. :-)
But watch what you say about Bach on my blog. He is the Father of Music, and the only person that can give me real satisfaction as I attempt to sightread Bk 2 of The Well Tempered Clavier.
jadedj - Then you know that Glenn Gould is the premiere Goldberg Variations performer - ever.
I once was struggling through the GV and really thought I was quite good.
Then I googled GV and up came Glenn Gould playing them - at warp speed as compared to my slo/mo
version. And it was a video so I was able to watch this master of Bach at work.
I was so taken back that I didn't touch my piano for a week.
But I'm back at it again. I can't stay away from old JS. I have a grouchy looking 8 x 10 of him, but my most treasured possesion is my bobblehead Bach.
Ticker - Funny thing is, I don't like to listen to Bach, just play it.
I mostly listen to classical if it's Vladimir Horowitz on the piano. It has a calming effect on me.
I also am an old time rock and roller but love rap(since I never know what they are saying anyway and who really cares ) and the Rolling Stones.
I'm not much for blue grass - it irritates me.
P.S. Ticker, give it a rest on your ex. I think we get the idea.
:-%
What in the world about bluegrass irritates you? Great harmony, of just voices or the mixture of strings or combination of all .
I grew up on Bluegrass as a kid with uncles and other relatives all playing about anything with strings on it. They had moved north after the war to find good jobs but each year they returned to the East Tennessee hills and lord the music would abound for days and nights on end. My grandmother played a dulcimer with a goose quill and sang the old time mountain songs that are seldom even heard today. I managed to tape some of here singing and playing the dulcimer or autoharp at times and donated them to the University Appalachian museum at ETSU. They are priceless. I keep the originals safely stored and am hoping to be able to transfer them to disc soon. Uncle Roy played anything with stings but was a banjo man. He was to teach me when he retired and moved back to the mountains. He died of a heart attack as they loaded the truck for their journey to his beloved hills. My heart was broken. He said I had the hands of a picker. Never picked, played piano, organ , trumpet for umpteen years in jazz groups and such and then sax for fun.
Ya just gotta give some good blue grass a chance. Get the real old stuff and not this modern electric junk. Then you will appreciate it.
Don't like rap worth a damn. Have never allowed it in my home even when mu daughter was growing up. She never developed a taste for it either thankfully. She loves the classical music and old rock. Her son(12) is playing violin as well as the 9 year old girl. Both have a gift for it. Told Gage to learn some Charlie Daniels for me and danged if he didn't. Boy is good.
Other grandson plays guitar, bass, and keyboard plus writes music. They won top honors in the Christian Music contest in Arizona this year. Luke won 1st place for his writing. His group plays a little of all kinds of music and not just religious. They will be appearing at the Texas State Fair.
Nuff braggin but I am proud of my kids and grandkids.
