loppylugs 8,427 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 No I don't think so. Maybe J.S. Bach. :-) and I'm gonna prove it one of these days when I can play the bloomin' thing. Working on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,271 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Valuer Jim #124 Sorry everyone don't know where I got six from. I thought it was from Desert Island discs but checked and found out that they chose eight. Suitably admonished I'll confine future ramblings to five. Was that the Runaway Train remembered from Children's Favourites "and she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew" or one of the many other songs with the same title? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 #133 That's very kind of you Michael. Thank you. I tend to compare myself with some very young folks on You Tube who are very talented and seemed to have learned a lot quicker than me. I tend to forget that I am fifty odd years older than them when I started and sometimes tend forget what I'm doing in the middle of doing it. I want to play some of the most beautiful and complicated works that Bach wrote. I often download stuff and print it out and when I show it to my teacher he will say as diplomatically as he can. "Maybe you'd better hold off trying that one for a while." All things being equal I doubt I even have enough time left now to learn what I would like. I do have the sheet music to whiter Shade of Pale. The instrumental lines are very Bach like. I'm a bit undecided whether it is most like Air on the G string or "Mitt steh in Einem Fuss in Grabe" From a Bach Cantata. Rough English translation. "I stand With One Foot in the Grave." Nice cheerful title. When I have all three down reasonably well I plan to compare them and let you judge. "Whiter Shade" did a lot to stimulate my interest in Bach when it came out in the 60s. I knew it was Bach like, just couldn't figure which Bach piece. Took a while. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,271 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Jim, Wow those were a blast from the past, strange how a little prompt sends me back 50+ years and I can still remember the words. The Laughing Policeman reminded me of those machines at the seaside amusement arcades that played the laugh with a rather rotund policeman rocking about inside.
