Can't hear any around this area.

Thinking, "That can't be right." I looked it up.
You are correct, Bryan County, Georgia is a big zero for Shape Note singing. Nothing but Common Church or Rock in your area. I am sorry Roger.
There is always YouTube:=> https://youtu.be/MZuSaudKc68

Beethoven, and the "Moonlight Sonata," no less, played on a near-hysterical couple of metal guitars, is your recommendation for the playing in places like THIS!?
Good. That'll get me to open up some "boundaries," that's for sure. Yet, I'll be sure to have all the windows and the roof CLOSED, so no wildlife or children or rural denizens are injured in the process.

OMG, too.

P.S. You don't suppose some hiker will try to have be "committed," do you, upon hearing that play in such a forest??

P.P.S. The video is still playing as I have been writing this reply; Dr. Viossy is playing Pagannini, "Capriccio 24" ,at the moment.

How about Ode to Joy being played by Deep Purple? They started out playing with full orchestras in the early years......

But not in Georgia.

This is Classical Music in Georgia:=> https://youtu.be/DrlNN7ftYpk
The Sacred Harp Publishing Company is located in Carrollton, Georgia. The Sacred Harp was first published in 1844.

The congregation sounds happy, joyous , even. So it's all good.

IMHO ...However I don't see any need to add other sounds to that scene.
The sounds of nature are all that are needed to compliment the sights of nature.

I have a feeling you are right, Roger. Thanks for that input.

Aside from the guitar possibly sounding like a mad, giant prehistoric insect, especially in such a setting as my forest,there is still something intriguing about it. I am aware of Deep Purple, but this is the first time I have had my face rubbed into the crotch of his guitar playing. I'll try to keep an open mind and listen to more.

However, playing Deep Purple here may have me finding myself suddenly surrounded (not a bad thing) by a gaggle of post-teen adolescents gathered around me for more refreshment. I'm assuming there would be a representation of the vinyl-clad onesies cult among them?

I should be back here in a week or two, as soon as the heat dies down (the News said, yesterday, that it was feels-like107 in Syracuse, yesterday)….
Perhaps, I'll try out your recommendation right here at the top of Clinton Ave.....

that had to been at least 30 years ago when Blackmore had rejoined the band; one of his better evening's performances as there were nights when he was just terrible.....

Kind of doubt it -- Deep Purple is a serious dinosaur of rock........you'll only be surrounded by your own generation.

Funny response Murph, you are quite good with anigifs.

Ritchie Blackmore, the guitar player (age 73) lives right up the street from you (11.5 miles north) in Allandale Nursing Home, Allandale, N.J.
Why don't you drive up and visit him? Those old guys in nursing homes get so lonely.

EDIT 1: Errata
Ritchie Blackmore was born in Allandale Nursing home, Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England. He does not live there.

I'm not sure what I would say, Wayne. I don't really know his music, nor him.

Beethoven, and the "Moonlight Sonata," no less, played on a near-hysterical couple of metal guitars, is your recommendation for the playing in places like THIS!?

Absolutely not, I recommended Viossy to Roger so he could liven up Roger's Corner in Georgia. He has nothing interesting to listen to there.

Near-hysterical couple of metal guitars?
1) Viossy was playing it note by note as written by Beethoven.
2) There is only one guitar.
3) Metal guitar is a style of playing. It is just an electric guitar.
3) Listen to Valentina Lisitsa play Beethoven's "Moonlight" Sonata Mov 3 on the piano... note by note identical* to Viossy.
*I had to give Lisitsa a head start because some of her pauses are longer. OK, Viossy finished 22 seconds ahead of Lisitsa, it was his style to have shorter pauses, not because his playing is near-hysterical.

Tell him you saw one of his guitar solos on YouTube and wanted to drop in and say hello. Take a train engine and tell him about your hobby. If that does not start a free-flowing conversation like we have here, ask him how he got started on a musical career. People love to talk about themselves.

I have thought about your remarkable suggestion since I first read it. Such a visit doesn't interest me. Even if a resident there were Paul McCartney or Mick Jagger, it still wouldn't interest me.

However, if, as you mentioned, concerning our hobby, such a personage in residence there had contacted me, expressing an interest in model train layouts, having seen, perhaps, the Lionel layout @ FAO Schwarz in NYC, which I had refurbished several times and maintained, before the store vacated the address, and had asked to see my layout at my home, then, though at first being a bit dubious, I might be interested in visiting the facility providing care to such a person. Might.

If I am going to make any adventure by auto before this Winter sets-in, it would be as follows:
First, visit Rufus in Pennsylvania;
Second, continue-on to Pittsburgh to visit a number of lifelong friends there;
Third, leave Pittsburgh for the westward leg of my adventure, to Kansas City, to visit a client;
Fourth, drive to visit you and kitty in Arizona;
Fifth, onward to visit Roger;
Sixth, visit a dear friend in Florida;
Then, return home.
Of course, all of that would totally depend on having been invited and welcomed to make such visits, before even gassing-up.

I'd have to work on having the oomph for such an adventure before any such notion could take-off.
daMurph, adventurer, retired, sort of.

When I first viewed/listened to the video, there seemed a sequence of men playing the piece, perhaps, two different artists.

"Near-hysterical" was my little occasional creative use of the language, purely for special-effect, in trying to describe my personal reaction to the screeching and vibrancy.


P.S. Jimmy Hendrix was about as tolerant as I ever got with such guitars and their music - not a criticism, actually, just a personal preference and aversion. Fleetwood Mac, "Dreams"; "Landslide". Jefferson Airplane, "White Rabbit" (took students to a concert of theirs; we were invited and received backstage). Those artists were as adventuresome as I ever got in that general direction, even liked, on occasion. Go-figger.

That's rather odd since he was on tour with his wife's band in July and also has some fairly young children.
