One of the benefits of having an interactive whiteboard in my form
room is that I can play mp3 through it, with the lights off and full
visualistions on. Left it playing during lunch today, and my form
came in while I had the full version of The Wall playing. Struck a
chord with over half of them: cue 12 minutes of silence, followed by
comments of "Wow, what a piece of music" My form are Year 10 students
(aged 14-15), who are just discovering rebellion. Rest of the
teachers in the rooms around me thought it hilarious. Next door is my
father, who plays Phantom of the Opera and folk, and the woman the
other side plays a variety of music from 70's to 90's.

We have had some fun with form names as they take on the form tutors
surname initial, my dad has a year 11 form, and they are known as
Cyclops Cubed (11I), while some, now they know what my other vehicle
is, find my tutor group name appropriate: 10I. Still causes me hours
of mirth when I think about it!

What annoys me most about my groups is that they claim it as their own and
all new !!!
Still at least they appreciate good music :))


 
My Kids are eight and they listen to, among others Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd
and any old rock 'classics' which is fine by me as I grew up with that
musical era - I'm 39.
This is due to them taking music lessons in Drums, Guitar and Piano and
having really good teachers. They appreciate the effort put into the music.
They also like the modern proper bands like Coldplay, GreenDay and Muse who
I'm quite partial to at the moment..

All three of my lot have blagged, Dire Straits, Floyd, the Police
Santana, Phil Keaggy, et al. for ipods. Have some difficulty tracking
down 'my' CDs these days.

Did anyone see the Cream concert on BBC2 Ginger Baker is 67 this year! I
think it was a 10 minute drum solo last night - superb (well they all
were, really!).

I think rock/blues music does a lot to bridge the generation gap.

Oh no!!!! Missed that, damn and bugger. I have recently dug out the Wheels
of Fire double album and have been playing Toad (live at the Fillmore) all
week on the way to work*. Competition from the doompa-doompa coming from
the lowered Corsa in the next lane - no contest!

What programme was it? Will it be on again, or might it be on the net
somewhere?

Miknd you, Baker always looked 67, even when he was 27. My Dad reckoned it
was all that marry-whatsit he was smoking.

*From the same gig - Crossroads is the best rock guitar track ever in the
history of the universe in space, IMO. Still makes the hairs on the back of
my neck stand up, even 30-odd years later.

Went to a Procul Harem concert in Hull in the late 70's ( good old Uni
days ), drummer did a 25 minute solo non stop and went through 3 sets of
sticks. Never seen anything like it since.
Mind you I walked home all the way to Cottingham ( 4 miles or so )
completely deaf. In the end all I wanted to do was turn the key in my lock.


 
Reminds me of when the Shrek movie came out and all the really young (I mean
under 10) kids were singing I'm a believer. I knew the words too, but
that's from the first time round! That made me feel old!

Have you seen those adverts for Jameson's? Just who are the guys they
have playing the drums and the harp. And what is that music the harpist
is playing?

reminds me of a comment made by a taxi-driving friend of mine who had Abba
playing in his cab while taking some kids to school.

"What's this music, drive?" (they're from brum...)

"'s Abba, innit."

"who're they?"

"well, they were a pretty successful group in the 70s and 80s."

"Were they as big as the Beatles, then?"

"Well, I dunno. pretty nearly. Here, how come you know about the Beatles,
but not about Abba?"

"Ah, we learned about the Beatles in history".

Connie Bloom is the person playing the harp. He's played for Silver Ginger 5
and Hannoi Rocks.

Dunno who the guy is...

I cried for a week when Marc Bolan died ... takes me back a bit.
Tyrannosaurus Rex in Birmingham Town Hall was the first live gig I ever went
to. I still have all the original Tyrannosaurus Rex (not T-Rex) albums, all
on vinyl and most on CD.

I feel old ....

Maybe I should actually watch this film as we have a copy. I always manage
to be out of the room when my daughter watches it. Sounds like I might
actually enjoy the music if it's from my childhood!
