{{{That's right, pretend we don't know about the legendary and feared Jævla Stor Sild or Big Red Herring, it's bad for tourism.}}}

There was some talk about Jackson Browne earlier in this thread - here's another very nice song

Does everyone move so fast because they're cold?

Either they're only playing 256 part notes or I'm guessing the footage has been speed up.

Cool.   Best of luck with your premier.

Strangely me and my father were discussing that just the other day. I said I thought being a classical musician in an orchestra was a good profession, but he was quite insistant that it's hard work and that  they have a pretty hard time of it. And with the amount of time he has spent around orchestras, he probably has a point.

Also it's interesting to hear a bit about your musical, because that's kind of what he does. Produce and direct productions for youth musicians and the youth/children choir at the opera house. Though opera productions of course, not musicals.

I'm sorry, but... I just have to

Fantastic!

so the premier went well  we didn't mess up but we the people who introduced the musical forgot to say that the 20 min break wasn't after the musical, so everyone started to move out like as soon as the light came on and we got a lousy applaud. they also forgot to take down that wall so when the orchestra was bowing, only our heads where showing and fuck..  no proper appreciation. only after the musical they mentioned that we have a brilliant orchestra and we got a proper bow but the applause was lame.. i hope they fix it until tomorrow..

Well done Norc!   

Hope you get your deserved applause tomorrow. If not get very crabbit about it and let them know!   

i will

Congratulations on your premier.   Sadly people don't always understand enough to appreciate what they're getting.

Premier... There should really be some flowers, shouldn't there. I'm affraid these imaginary ones will have to do.   

fænk ju

Grattis!

More Jackson Browne - these two make a great duo:

Another great duo - song doesn't start until about 3:30, but the first part of the vid is enjoyable too

Nice.   

I was just trying to pick the violin part on this actually.

Nice!

Tried this one? (though I think this is a fiddle? or is it a violin? I've got no clue )

I'm not all that proficient.   Anything but, really.

But I did manage to figure out the basic melody thing.

Second showing went a lot better, standing applaud, they didn't take the wall up and they even mentioned e conductor

Nice! Second shows are often like that.

Yupp, true, it shouldn't be like that though, but it is..

Oh, so that's where you've been. I was just thinking how much it was like a Norc to drop a post that starts a 3 page discussion in another thread then go galavanting off to Lord knows where without so much as a peep while fur and furniture goes flying around behind her.

Sort of like the movie cliche where the hero plants a bomb then saunters off while the explosion lights up the screen behind her.
