Now playing …

The first, and for me, still the best album recorded by the Banks/Collins/Gabriel/Hackett/Rutherford lineup*

*cue a deluge of replies informing me I’m wrong and it was, in fact, Selling England By The Pound.

just recently gave a finished copy of a manuscript, plus the mp3 audio to a friend. it was a short piece I'd written for him and he was over the moon after receiving it.
Later that evening, he texted me with profuse thanks. You'd thought I'd given him the crown jewels! Still, I'm happy he liked it.🎼

Hi there, this is my 1st personal intro post. If you are a classical musician or a CM lover/afficionado, please drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you. 🎼

BORODIN! Being a chemist by day didn't impede his composing ability. I love the way he structured his string trio in G minor... So much so I could listen to it again & again without ever tiring of it! 😍

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.
