What are you listening to now ?

Gord. T - Yeah I watched that concert you posted recently as well. I used to listen to him alot as a teen. That guitar and voice. Formidable.
 
Military music. I'll skip the "Stars and Stripes", which may be the greatest march ever.

"Wenn Die Soldaten" has no known author. It's dated to the second half of the 19th Century.


(oddly enough, Wikipedia only has the Korean, the Russian and the Ukrainian pages for it)

"Three Tankmen" was from the 1939 Soviet film the "Tractor Men". And probably the second greatest military march ever. Written by the remaining Pokrass brothers (the third immigrated to the US and worked on Broadway)


Panzerlied (tank song) borrowed its melody from the 19th Century naval tune. It became the German Panzer theme in the 1930's and remained such until two years ago. And Robert Shaw is a great blond in the "Battle of the Bulge" (1963)


This the opening of the Polish TV series called "Four Tank Men and a Dog", which was immensely popular with the Soviet kids in the late 1960's to mid-1970's.


Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Tank-Men_and_a_Dog

This was the main Great Patriotic War song.


"Erika" was written sometime in the 1930's and was very popular among the Wehrmacht soldiers.


The Radetsky March was written by Johann Strauss, the Elder, and premiered in 1848.

This thread makes the user-group here seem really old and stale. So much so that a submission from 1984 is comparatively “modern”.

“Sound of Silence” is my nominee for most depressing song ever. It just beat out “Knights in White Satin” for that title. ��
 
Lolll @ "...most depressing song ever." :) I have more but I'll post yours first as a visual post instead of a link. -Cheers man. :)
Good post btw.

That era, what with the Vietnam War and social upheaval ( and LSD ) produced some very downer / depressing music. Whereas music in the 80’s tended to be more upbeat / light / superficial.

“Scarborough Fair” makes me want to slit my wrists, it’s such a downer of a melody.
 
Gotchya. I'll keep that in mind when posting. I like to keep it upbeat but wander sometimes -wink. Your stuff is good so please post more when you feel like it. It certainly takes me out of my zone sometimes. I love new music too ya know. -Thanks man.

I Love the sound of the Fender fretless jazz bass.
Fender Jazz Fretless Bass

Smooth jazz bass solo fretless Harley Benton JB-40 FL

...

The Rickenbacker 4001 bass was my first fave back in the day. Used by many including Rush also. The rikki. I only know the 4001 sound so I can't speak for the rest. Very recognizable by it's unique shape.(Black body with white trim back in my day. 1977) And sound ofcourse.
