Simply amazing and so is this – Rhapsody - the magic of the wizard’s dream www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z93SdirnzTwAnd this in its own way Leonard Cohen- Anthem live in London, poet, singer, painter, novelist, and songwriter “extraordinaire.” I can't run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud but they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me Alan, still wandering in the serenity of the greenwood reviewing the whole situation www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e39UmEnqY8

Love the CL narrator voice but not my kind of music at all (not enough attention span!) and the R Henshall song is quite moving but again not really my thing. Not sure what my "thing" is (guess like most of us it depends on our mood) but this afternoon have been listening to some cajun - try these out... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlZfn7T3Nc8www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFyOGqmITjMAlf

I'm listening to ASMR videos and letting my brain melt...mmmm. There is nothing new in this T my wife has been massaging my scalp for years! It is merely another method of relaxation either through touch or thought. The recipient is required to be of a fairly emotional type nonetheless for instance one that is “very deeply moved by music” so much so that one can actually cry, I suggest that not everyone possesses this level of emotion and what works for one individual may not work for another or indeed not at all. Anything by Chopin or Franz Liszt, liebestraum- love dream, is but one example that does it for me, guaranteed to melt the hardest heart but it is not surprising as Franz Liszt was considered to be one of the greatest pianists’ that ever lived . www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpOtuoHL45YAlan is simply captivated to the point of no return!

Just a bit of clarification about the Cajun music Alan. Not really mountain music at all. Cajuns are an ethnic group mainly living in the U.S. state of Louisiana, consisting of the descendants of Acadian exiles (French-speakers from Acadia in what are now The Maritimes of Eastern Canada). Predominantly Catholic, the Cajuns make up a significant portion of south Louisiana's population. They settled in Louisiana following expulsion from their homeland during the 18th Century French and English hostilities in Canada. They have developed their own unique dialect and developed a vibrant culture including folkways, music, and cuisine. Fiddle and accordian predominate their music.
Mountain folk ("Hillbilly" now seen as derogatory term) are predominantly based in the Appalachia, Ozarks, Uwharrie and Caraway Mountains settled in 18th century by people primarily from Ulster. Predominantly Protestant in origin Hillbilly music is now largely known as "country music" but includes bluegrass, country & western, and gospel.
Being married to a Canadian I guess I feel the need to clarify! Alf

Being married to a Canadian I guess I feel the need to clarify! Alf I did know all that Alf, Cajun, Louisiana creole, swap rock & roll, skiffle, hillbilly, Louisiana blues / jazz it is all closely related, in the case of Cajun and creole both French in origin but Alan refers to it all as mountain music as much of it has the same rhythm / base counter base example being c base g base in other words 1-2 1-2 or c g – c g notes in the key of c or sometimes a walking base in 4 -4 time. They all tend to use the same instruments in this type of music as well example – accordions, washboards, guitar, slide guitar, fiddle, upright base or sometimes electric base and sometimes the banjo. The jazz influence can be heard in Lonnie Donegan music as he once belonged to the Chris barber jazz band, cross over music as some people call it, this being a perfect example – Rockabilly one can hear the very same influences here too. Here Matchbox is using a shuffle guitar patten and the upright base is using the base counter base I spoke about earlier. A type of boogie woogie base patten is being used in the second example as it is better known, all fairly simple music to play.

Gypsy kings, Baila me Baila me means I dance and so Alan does, although the modern routine towards the end of this clip is not be recommended by the fool hardy, especially the old slide split trick www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzk1oRatfk8Adam Faith, Message to Martha / Kentucky bluebird) This song was first performed by Lou Johnson and later by Dionne Warwick as (Message to Michael) either way the very clever use of the b flat minor sixth chord as the hook is most effective and adds deep emotion to the melody. Burt Bacharach was the writer of this song so it is not surprising that one can hear the jazz, soul, pop, influences in his work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWqOLzCiGSgAlan, lost in music

My grandfather was very fond of singing this little song accompanied by his guitar, this song sums up the loveable old rogue’s character very nicely as he did go no to marry a lady of some station later in his life, the family's original wandering minstrel. The Whistling Gypsy Rover "He is no gypsy, father dear" "But lord of these lands all over, And I shall stay 'til my dying day With my whistling gypsy rover." www.youtube.com/watch?v=93oVQt82O-AAlan, in the greenwood still reviewing the situation
