Trumpet playing, 2013

TMA03 time...

Visible to anyone in the world

... ah yes, must concentrate!

Even so, I am still listening to Dvorak and now swapping between symphonies three and four. One of the issues I am now concentrating on is conductor, orchestra and sound recording abilities, as some of the more 'polished' examples do not create my preferred performance. That said, some of the more 'budget' productions do have their fair share of mistakes and 'out-of-tuneness' which I find somewhat off-putting. Talking of which... TMA03 is still calling for my attentionmixed

Whilst not studying though (ahem...) I put together a number of my favourite Midnight Oil tracks that I have selected from their down-loadable Essential Oils compilation. A blast from the past for me as I have 4 of the original albums from 'back in the day' - "10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 (1982)", "Red Sails In The Sunset (1984)", "Diesel And Dust (1987)" and "Blue Sky Mining (1990)". My interest in this band being sparked off by hearing Beds Are Burning on the radio in 1987 but I haven't really listened to these for well over 10 years.

More later - when I'm less frazzledsleepy.
