I don’t know if this post has been featured elsewhere on this forum (I hope not…). After all the possible intros that pieces of music can start with, here are some very nice and famous drum intros:

Yes Tim very entertaining, thanks. It might have been like that, part of human evolution: hunters and gatherers became drummers and flute players. I didn’t even know Ringo was in this movie. I wouldn’t have recognized him immediately either. He has integrated himself perfectly into the stone age…
By the way speaking of the stone age, here perhaps the first boy group in human history:

A young woman with a great voice, who first became known for covering other singers’ songs. I’m curious if she will manage to establish her own songs.

Hi Fred,
Ilse DeLange as a solo artist doesn’t ring a bell, but about two years ago I bought the album of the same name from the duo Common Linnits. I didn’t have in mind Ilse DeLange being part of the band. The album turned out well. Have Common Linnits produced any other albums? Otherwise, I enjoy listening to „Within Temptation“ and I also like the solo album by frontwoman Sharon den Adel “My Indigo”.
I have already presented Floor Jansen on various other topics. The finnish band „Nightwish“ originally recorded the cover version of „The Phantom of the Opera“ with their lead singer Tarja Turunen. I like Floor Jansen’s voice and her likeable charisma better.

Alaska even has its own folk festival:

A very nice idea Chris, to make melodies, that spontaneously go through your head, audible by mental transmission. I think then I could also become a musician 😀. I often spontaneously come up with melodies or rhythms that I unfortunately can’t bring to life without an instrument. Here’s an interesting approach to synchronizing the interaction of music and body sensations. Now all that is missing is a suitable interface to make the body sensations audible, even without using an instrument. A fascinating thought: making a person’s feelings and sensations sound. Future music in the truest sense of the word.

Chris, I felt the same way as you: I had heard the sound of the Theremin somewhere many, many years ago without being able to assign it to a specific instrument. A fascinating sound experience. My all time favorite movie soundtrack played on the Theremin:

Hi Jung, thank you for the beautiful piano piece by Oscar Peterson. A gifted musician, just like Glenn Gould. When I hear the sound of a Cembalo, I always have to think spontaneously of the Baroque period. Impressive castles, men and women in fine, richly embroidered robes with those strange white wigs on their heads. On the subject of baroque time organ music also comes to mind. And since we are on the subject of unusual musical instruments: the largest cathedral organ in Europe is located in the Cathedral of Passau. Legendary 17774 organ pipes. The following video is a bit antiquated, just like the organ itself, which has recently been completely renovated. Unfortunately, it is difficult to capture the impressive sound of a church organ and the atmosphere of a cathedral hall in a music video.

Hi Chris, thank you very much for your many, many suggestions and comments on this topic. I’m not particularly familiar with Oscar Peterson, nor was I aware that he was born in Montréal.
Hi Jacki, great photo of you and Oskar. You’re wearing a fancy outfit. That brings color into the gray everyday life 😀

Tim, I didn’t know about Neil Peart’s passing. This is sad news. His life’s work as a musician and the song Tom Sawyer will remain unforgettable.

Thanks Fred, the 99 balloons are still flying… 😀
Caro Emerald should not be forgotten. I like her refreshing and inspiring way of presenting her songs. A happy mixture of pop, jazz and the glamorous sound of the golden 20s. I found the following beautiful cover song from the early days of her musical career:

Hi Tim,
I’ve been wondering who uses such a large drum kit. I would never have thought of the band Rush and Neil Peart. Thank you. I’ve found a live performance video where you can see Neil in action on this gigantic drum kit (maybe not exactly the same, but it looks similar). Real drumtastic 😀
-
Maybe they also thought that a wild horde of crazed cows had broken out and made their way to them… 😀
-
Yeah Tim, that’s what I call a real drum set. Where did you find that? Does it belong to this guy here? It’s not exactly nice what he’s doing there, but he does it…

Hi Jung
thanks for the beautiful Alaska piano music. You will definitely like whale watching. The humpback whales in Alaska are quite famous. It is an awe-inspiring experience when these giants of the sea rise out of the water and leave their wet element to breathe or to hunt fishes. You might even be able to take a few nice snapshots. I’m an enthusiastic landscape and nature photographer and used to my subject holding still. Animal photography is not really my cup of tea: the animals are usually too fast and I’m much too slow. An extremely unfavorable constellation. And I don’t enjoy hammering out serial images. Oh, and it’s best to choose a small boat, otherwise you won’t see much except for the backs and heads of other tourists and upstretched arms with cameras. Here are my attempts to capture whales and dolphins (after the heads and upraised arms have disappeared and the whales too….):
PS: Yes, king crabs are real monsters. I think the legs and claws are also the only edible parts. So how did you get the shell open? With your hands or with special tools?
