Car Music?
When yer driving, what do you listen to?
We loathe the radio, too many annoying ads.. DH burned a whole bunch of CDs and today were listening to Cajun music, the soundtrack from The movie 'The Big Easy'...I loved it I was getting sick of the B-52's. I ALWAYS carry a teakwood Kazoo I got about 10 years ago around with me. Everybody should have a Kazoo. In 2000 I sent plastic kazoos to people on my Floyd group, and when I send things, I throw in some shiny confetti. One guy in Holland said he was still 'Hoovering' confetti out of the carpet 7 years later. LOL. It's not pixie-dust, just the small confetti. A Kazoo is fun and anybody can 'play' it. Kids toy? HA!! Hug Kyla --hoping my pooter dunt crash again |

"Kyla =^..^=" wrote in message news When yer driving, what do you listen to? We loathe the radio, too many annoying ads.. It's just background noise to me. Lots of times I don't bother with anything at all. Sometimes I listen to CD's. I like a lot of (original, not a compilation of regurtitated "hits") motion picture soundtracks even if I've never seen the film. I ALWAYS carry a teakwood Kazoo Kyla I would imagine driving while playing a Kazoo is as dangerous, if not moreso, than driving while yakking on a cell phone! LOL Jill |

KUSC and KMZT when I lived in L.A. - although I understand KMZT has stopped playing classical, dammit! (After they changed the call letters to "K-Mozart", too!) That's a predictable outcome of mega-corporations owning all the media - it's not only the news that is censored by the owners, the public no longer has much of a voice in how much "free speech" and "free expression" we are allowed. |

LOL Or in a pickup truck with a large dog sitting on your lap, its head hanging out the driver's window! (I've actually SEEN that, in Phoenix - when the driver swerved across three lanes, right in front of me, because he decided he wanted to make a right turn at the intersection a hundred feet away.) |

"Playing" a kazoo isn't much different from humming. You're just doing it through a piece of plastic (or wood, in Kyla's case - oooo, fancy! ), which distorts the sound. And they can be fun - a few members of my choral group and I got hold of some kazoos, and proceeded to go through quite a few numbers in our repertoire before we got sick of ourselves. . But there's not much to take your attention away from driving. I definitely vote for the kazoo player over the cellphone chatter on the road!

There's PLENTY of great Christian music (two millennium's worth), but the sort dubbed "contemporary" is pure crap - neither "music", nor particularly "Christian" in its text. I really disagree! Just because it doesn't follow traditional forms, doesn't mean it's not Christian. They're singing about Jesus and God - what's un-Christian about that? You might not like the music, and I certainly can't argue with another person's preference, but I definitely consider it to be religious music. I was just reading an article about CCM, written by an agnostic who was raised Jewish - so about as far from Christian as one usually gets in the US. And she was saying that she really enjoyed that music because it's the only place where you can hear sincere explorations of what life is about - faith, doubt, hope, love, etc. For a person who likes pop and rock music, it's hard to find that most of the time - the message of a lot of popular music these days is pretty bleak. I can really understand wanting something more than that, but, if you're not able to relate to more traditional liturgical music, you might look to popular musical forms instead. And what's wrong with that? You might not like it yourself, but there's no reason to be so rigid about what's "real music".

There's PLENTY of great Christian music (two millennium's worth), but the sort dubbed "contemporary" is pure crap - neither "music", nor particularly "Christian" in its text. Some of my favorite car music: Masses by William Byrd Thomas Tallis, Gibbons, Victoria, Schütz, Gabrieli, other Renaissance stuff Organ music--J. S. Bach, Franck, Widor, Vierne, Duruflé, etc., etc., with a weakness for French 19th century instruments (what a wonderful roar they produce!) Ralph Vaughan Williams Sometimes hymns, well-played and well-sung--but for my hymns are really participatory--there's nothing for me quite like leading with my playing an exuberantly-singing congregation. I'm an organist, so I'm biased towards really great classics. Other car music: classical music of all sorts--orchestral, chamber, vocal, operas (sometimes) The cats? they're not too concerned, as long as it's not too loud, and they're not in the car! David |
