I play a bass drum; does that count..?

There was nothing happening to your left.

Keep the drummer, and the singer's not too shabby, either.

Good afternoon, goatee, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Expect a few jibes on the pseudo, though (Been playing since you were a kid, eh..? ).

Undeniable mastery of the ivories, but a bit too 'Tom & Jerry', methinks. A pity; could have been so much better with a bit more 'musicality'.

Drumchat, eh..? What a grand idea.

What..? Bounder..!

I thought quite the opposite; a high level of virtuosity, coupled with a fine sense of timing and an original enlargement of the tonal range of the solo instrument. Full-on admiration of the work accomplished and a very enjoyable listen. Thanks for posting; it goes some small way towards reconciling my ears to the horrors of the original post.

Good Stuff. ^^ Let's hope it gets included in the voting poll, it deserves to have as much chance as any of the others.

Yes, whether it's true or not.

To get a post deleted, Report it, with an explanation, and a tame Mod will have a look at it quite quickly. Hope this helps.

Good evening, NP, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good afternoon, Gillian , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good evening, ZP, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

OK, I'll concede. Bangwesi it is, then. I'll get on to Toto tomorrow and get that pesky line changed; they'll be recalling all the currently-sold disks for exchange, of course... "...As sure as Bangwesi rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek..." It'll change the scansion a bit, but that won't worry Mr Kimball that much, I don't think. Cool..!

A mirage, maybe..? An optical illusion caused by refraction of the atmosphere due to the equatorial temperatures..? No..? Oh well...

If it plays half as good as it looks, you've a winner. Beautiful.

It rises to just under 6000 m, though. (... and in the song, it's the Serengeti that he's seeking, not the real Serengeti. Poetic license, anyone..? Pedants, the lot of you..! )

Then how do you get to know the songs..?

No..? What's that on the horizon, then (view from Serengeti Simba Lodge at sunrise...)..?

+1 ^^

There seems to be an automatic association between having a music stand on stage and having a stock-still singer peering constantly at the words, ignoring totally the presence of the audience. Whilst admitting that this could, in fact occur in some, rather odd, scenario, I'd suggest that it's a rather pushed exaggeration, and that the simple presence of a music stand is not the cause of such behaviour. Some folks (not just singers...) can, and do, use stands in an intelligent manner, and do not neglect the 'show' aspect of the occasion. Maybe I've just been lucky in witnessing this, but in that case I've been lucky on numerous occasions. Things aren't always as 'black or white' as that; there is scope for at least fifty shades of grey.
