Thanks Shadow. Nice song I quite like Norwegian wood especially after reading the book by Haruki Murakami. But they have so many hits, it's hard to pick one favorite. |

One I do like is I am The Walrus-utter nonesense lyrics but I love it. Funny but I do have a preference for either John Lennons or George Harrisons songs. Paul McCartneys are among my least favorite Beatles tracks  |

Delius went blind, so Boyce must have been deaf.......amazing music. In fact I enjoyed every bit of music on "hear" tonight! The music in films plays a huge part in creating the right atmosphere. I'm thinking of the recent death of John Barry....his music will live forever along with memories of the films. |

I trust everyone knows about Spotify & Grooveshark...instant music of any sort anytime free. I like to occasionally type in 60's or 50's to bring back memories.....70's sometimes too, & rarely 80's, 90's stuff. The 00's & 10's I hardly bother with. |

Yes, well done Jazz William Boyce did go deaf, a fact not as well know as Beethoven's deafness.
Fredrick Delius went blind as a result of syphilis but he still carried on composing he played the piano whilst someone else write down the notes.

Amazing musician, what is even more amazing she's been totally deaf since birth. She uses the whole of her body to feel and sense the changing vibrations and can recognises every note she. or anyone else plays.
A truly remarkable woman.

Great music, and I agree, a remarkable woman to overcome her deafness. For some reason I always confuse Evelyn Glennie with Katherine Tickell, the Northumbrian piper....a completely different type of musician. |

The Miracle symphony (Haydn's Symphony 96)
It was first performed in London (March 1791) and it was sold out but there was a bunch of seats empty. During the performance a huge chandelier fell right into the vacant seat. It later transpired the seats were vacant due to the people whist coming to the performance had a wheel come off their carriage during there journey and couldn't get there. If they had they would have been killed. So thereafter it was known as the Miracle Symphony.
