Welcome thread

[JK]

The heartwarming likes of CenturyDeprived's comment in aeijtzsche's "BB in Full Score" topic give hope that quality will win in the end. Chapeau, CD!

[JK]

Truly wonderful to see the constructive dialogue in full swing in aeijtzsche's Wouldn't it be Nice Introduction video topic.

And yes, a follow up video and/or an addendum would be very welcome indeed. Life is good.

Yesterday, a simply splendid fellow added $100 to JH's GoFundMe, so that we now have a grand total of $1,809!! "We" being all those who are benefiting from Joshilyn's Power-ful videos.

The Power Mower is up and running but it has to be kept in that lofty position. Those who haven't donated yet are urged to do so. Don't forget Joshilyn has made great personal sacrifices to bring you this series.

Surely there must be more than 21 of us!! There are 81 subscribers to JH's YouTube channel just for starters. Please make the effort, people--there is so much more to come!

[JK]

Many happies, ASL. No doubt it will be a modest celebration in these strange times. Something sticky to start the day, perhaps, and a glass or two of some beverage to finish it off.

Go well, sir.

Yes 100% to it, ASL will enjoy the birthday tea, perhaps green tea with chocolate cake.
Everybody likes tea. It unites people.

Folks, don't forget to check out the lively discussion in aeijtzsche's enlightening "BB clarinet" thread in the main section.

You're bound to learn something new--as always in an aeijtzsche instigated topic. I certainly did this time.

[JK]

Yessss!!! aeijtzsche now has 100 subscribers at her YouTube channel! 

Thinks: time for a modest celebration perhaps?   

[JK]

She's back! Joshilyn has braved the agonies of quarantine in NYC to produce a new video for our delectation (see the main section of the board).

This time she gives the JH treatment to the guitars and bass on "Good To My Baby", the last riff-based song the Boys would record:

One more JH topic that has this forum showing off its best side (again): "You Still Believe In Me--Multitrack Layout":

Wonderful to see another $30 has been donated to JH's Go FundMe! That's most encouraging. Let's hope this trend continues. It must work wonders for Joshilyn's morale and for her energy and enthusiasm to upload new videos. That really is excellent news. Thank you so much!

133.

Wow. Thanks, guys. It was getting a bit lonely round here so it's pretty awesome when 50% of Fear 2 Stop drop by!

Good to see JH getting the attention she deserves. Now I'm off to link your new site in my signature at Hoffman.

While digging through the board, I just realized I never reponded to this months ago. Thank you both for the well wishes!!

You're welcome, ASL. It took me four months to see your response.

I've had the General Music Discussion bookmarked for a long time but now this section's bookmarked too.

Since then it's more than trebled to just under 330!!!

It's been a while (nearly a year!) but this is important news.

aeijtzsche (Joshilyn) has just opened a reddit sub devoted to the session musicians active during the golden age of pop records. To date, you can watch an interview with Lyle Ritz and part one of a three-part interview with Motown bassist Bob Babbitt, who died in 2012. All comments welcome!

https://www.reddit.com/r/StudioMusicians/

Now all it requires is members. See the  "General Music Discussion" page for aeijtzsche's own post on the subject.

Thanks so much buddy! Was checking the forum to find an accurate list of all BBs documentaries and saw this. What a nice surprise! Struggled to remember my login details!

What have you been up to? What music are you into these days?

Hi Ovi. I really didn't think you'd see it -- what a coincidence. Very cool!
 
What music am I into? Well, in the past few years I've been exploring pop/rock from former Yugoslavia…

https://endlessharmony.boards.net/thread/1171/1980s-pop-yugoslavia

…and from the former Soviet Union:

https://endlessharmony.boards.net/thread/1937/dawn-alyans-1980s-soviet-synthpop

I've also been exploring Sovietwave (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLxj6TbbtDk) and Vaporwave (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaQS379Idss), along with much Baroque music. Plenty to explore then!

As for rap, I still like MF Doom's stuff but Kendrick L is simply too heavy for me! And you? Have you found anything interesting recently?

Take care!
