old school Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ha. From number 1 poster to poster number 1000, I say wow. There have been a lot of very good posts under this topic IMO. Both Jim G's are great fans of good music and have I'm sure posted the most with great variety and taste. As a flashback to the origins of this thread I take you back to February 2010.... Sitting under a pop up today, in the pouring rain at Warner Ranch when a message from Christian Holm popped up on my email with a good idea, or so I thought. He asked me to start this because he feels his command of the english is a bit weak. He probably asked the wrong guy to do this as my english is dodgy at best. But... The idea is like "Who I am today", but discussing the music in your life as a window to ones personality and how it influenced you in any way shape or form. I hope I am expressing his idea right. Why not, seems fun enough for a rainy day in Hollywood. It does seem that a love of music is a common denominator among "Sound People". Here is one from a favorite from the way back.....

Jim Gilchrist Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 It's fitting in a way that Randy Newman gets spot 1,000 since he's really made his living mostly by scoring films since the early '80's. I think the I Love LA posted above is from the 2013 R'n'R Hall of Fame concert. Hard to believe Newman wasn't inducted until then. Thanks, Christian and Crew, for making this part of the forum happen. It's a big part of what makes this group a special place. Best regards, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Flowers Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 This is the song: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40718050/Lifeboat Song.wma This is the story: On the morning of wednesday 19th January,1881 a Whitby ship, the brig "Visitor" was being wrecked in Robin Hood's Bay. The ship broke up and the luckless crew took to the little lifeboat. This epic story began without a soul watching. The crew obviously would have hoped for the people on shore to have noticed their plight. But it was only when morning broke that the alarm was raised. The crew could not venture through the surf. Robin Hood's Bay has treacherous rocks and only the most fool hardy would think of landing here in a storm. A local may stand a chance. But these men choose to stay just offshore. Here they struggled against mountainous seas and snow blizzards. When morning broke the wreck was spotted. The Robin Hood's Bay Lifeboat was unseaworthy and only a foolhardy fisherman would have ventured out in such a sea. So some other solution needed to be found. Scarborough was contacted - Commander Grant received a telegram asking for assistance with the boat wrecked at Robin Hoods Bay. But the tugs were all aground in the harbour at the time making launch impossible. A telegram was sent to Captain Gibson, Harbourmaster at Whitby from the Reverend Jermyn Cooper, vicar of Fylingdales requesting the lifeboat be sent out as "a ship was being wrecked, and the crew,who had taken refuge in the long boat, were astern of the ship, off at sea, outside the heavy breaking waves,and unable to land on account of the fearful surf." Captain Gibson immediately tried to launch the Lifeboat but because of prevailing winds it was impossible. A tugboat could not be used as it would surely have perished. It was decided best to carry the Lifeboat overland to Robin Hoods Bay. So began the epic eight mile journey over the moors to Robin Hood's Bay. The main problem was the huge snowdrifts. The Lifeboat was mounted on her carriage. First of all the Lifeboats crew and close relatives headed off along the Scarborough Road. The powerful team of horses carried the Lifeboat up the hill. But the treacherous winds and snow blizzards made this difficult. Yet the men of Whitby were not to be beaten. They used shovels, horses, cows and anything useful along the way. They tore through hedges that got in the way. They were helped by Bay men who cleared the path from the Robin Hood's Bay side. The epic journey built up momentum with farmers turning out to help. They met 2 people coming the other way urging them to turn back because of the blizzards. Yet three hours after they set off they made it to Robin Hood's Bay. When they reached the steep hill into Robin Hoods Bay a huge cheer was heard. Over 200 men helped clear the huge 6 foot snow drifts. Some of these were the Lifeboatmen themselves. The Lifeboat next had to be lowered down the cliff. Once this was achieved the expectant crowd awaited the rescue. They watched the boat bob up and down. Yet the first rescue attempt was a failure. Eight oars were broken and they were replaced with oars from Robin Hood Bays Lifeboat. A second attempt was made which resulted in rescue. But this was only after a Bay man, John Skelton, waded out into the lifeboat and guided the boat safely through the surf. That local knowledge was needed as he piloted the boat through a narrow channel. It was an exhausting and traumatic event for those rescued. They were numb with cold did not at first realize that they were rescued. They had virtually given up all hope of rescue. But the crowd made up for this. The thousand or so people who had helped clear the way and virtually the whole of Robin Hood's Bay erupted in excitement as the epic rescue was completed. Henry Freeman was a famous Lifeboatman from Whitby. He served for many years. This rescue proved to be the height of his fame. He was the sole survivor of the 1861 Lifeboat disaster due to the fact that he wore a cork Lifejacket. He was the coxswain of the Whitby Lifeboat. The rescue could claim to be the most epic and heroic ever in Lifeboat history. Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby both treasure this story. Rescues of this nature normally involve a few brave men. But this story involved virtually a thousand people who all helped in their own way - clearing roads of snow, forcing down walls and hedges to make a path for this Lifeboat. This rescue involved farmers and indeed children who all helped in some small way clearing the path. They felt a part of this historic rescue. The ship saved proved to one of their own - the vessel was a Whitby ship, the Brig "Visitor" owned by Mr Trueman Robinson of Robin Hoods Bay. So they were saving their own.

IMHO, most of the above "full show" postings - (from the link below,) Are of a slightly better sound/video quality of any, previously, posted YT's of the same performance(s)? They come across as a "little bit brighter?") https://www.youtube.com/user/crosscurrentjazz/videos?view=0&flow=grid&sort=p Here is a link, to a different playlist index of "single performances," to take a gander at? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ8p71tOFT46Lk1YHd_oFbA/videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Flowers Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Here is the overture from Wagner's early opera, Rienzi. It gallops along quite nicely when it gets going, rather as if it had been composed for the steam organ on a carousel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dq8PVVF0bo The opera is about this geezer, Cola di Rienzo, quite an interesting chap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cola_di_Rienzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
