  1. I LOVE it when I can listen to a family all playing instruments together. And they are all so accomplished!

    There’s a family that performs regularly at the Western Washington State Fair (“Do the Puyallup”), the Konzelman Family. Mom, dad and about 5 (6?) of their children all play fiddle, bass, viola, banjo, drums, piano, etc. And they tap dance.

  2. I really never post lyrics, but that was AMAZING:

    Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
    Sold I to the merchant ships,
    Minutes after they took I
    From the bottomless pit.
    But my hand was made strong
    By the ‘and of the Almighty.
    We forward in this generation
    Triumphantly.
    Won’t you help to sing
    This songs of freedom
    ‘Cause all I ever have:
    Redemption songs;
    Redemption songs.

    Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
    None but ourselves can free our minds.
    Have no fear for atomic energy,
    ‘Cause none of them can stop the time.
    How long shall they kill our prophets,
    While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
    Some say it’s just a part of it:
    We’ve got to fullfil the book.

    Won’t you help to sing
    This songs of freedom-
    ‘Cause all I ever have:
    Redemption songs;
    Redemption songs;
    Redemption songs.

    The oldest was the cello player the leader of the band…

    Thanks Bob.

  3. After an hour long session of plucking the strings his harp, my Petey B then swan dives into a two hour long session of plucking my unbleached elastic starfish!

  4. Is anyone else getting disgusted with Johnny One Note’s depraved confessions about his “unbleached elastic starfish”?

    It’s sickening. Fur, have I missed something? I’ve never suggested banning anyone from this site, but this is ridiculous.

  5. TRF — I think it makes this site look like it’s just fine with posting disgusting, irrelevant and mentally ill complusions. That’s ALL that commenter EVER posts! (So far as I know)

    It’s embarrassing when I tell friends to come here for news and thoughtful discussion and then the see that.

    Agreed. What an obsession this creep has to go on and on.

    The first time it was posted, it had a relativity to it during the primary. To keep going – and think it’s SOMETHING – just means he’s not right in the head.

    I have to deal with preteens doing stuff like this. It’s the same as yelling out a cuss word in church. He feels some kind of power to spit it out in among decent people.

    I’d vote to ban, but there isn’t a sign-in to post here anyway. Maybe an IP ban? At least in my gaming server I can ban the offenders game accounts until he has none left.

  7. Outstanding! These very talented young black people all from the same family are certainly making a joyful noise unto the Lord. I would go see them in a heartbeat if they played a concert in Eastern Washington. I don’t think that there’s much of a chance that this family will ever turn into dindu’s. Thanks, AA for letting us know that they’re from Wash. state. Congratulations to their parents for raising such talented musicians. May they continue for a long time to always make joyful music unto the lord. What a great way to start my day at 4:30 AM.

  8. Magnificent! The young man playing the Cello was on point! There is no sweeter sound than that of a vintage instrument. His Cello looks to have decades of use, crack repairs and refinishing. It sounds amazing!

  9. I started #1 daughter on violin when she was in kindergarten. For a long time all she took were weekly lessons and had an annual recital. Then her elementary school had orchestra/band starting in 4th grade. Middle school — back to lessons and a recital. Then, finally, in H.S. she joined the orchestra and was fortunate enough to be part of of their first ever fiddle group.

    Every year, starting around 4th grade, she would moan about having to play her violin and every year I would give her the opportunity to stop, as long as she could present a replacement activity that could match the benefits of playing a musical instrument. It was a fair proposition, but she could never make a strong enough case for herself.

    In the end, despite her MANY H.S. activities, she was most attached to her orchestra friends. Moral of story: Parents/grandparents, don’t let your kid(s) quit their musical instruments! They get so much out of it — even if they’re unaware of that.
