I've always loved his music. That man is who he is. I admire the fact he takes nothing from no one. Amazing musician. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted October 4, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 4, 2020 This is a gateway musician. If I keep this up, I'll be posting Rod Stewart songs and ELO and who knows what that will lead to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Gregorian chant (i'm a closet monk). I'm not sure there's an era of music i don't find something i love. The music of the 1980s is fantastic. But you know, some times, i have to ask, "Will you walk on by?" Of course Murray head and probably had our heads down playing chess. Time flies doesn't seem a minute since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it. All change don't you know that when you play at this level there's no ordinary venue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I discovered Owaine Phyfe at a Renaissance Fair more than twenty years ago. He turned me on to all sorts of centuries-old music and it got me started exploring all types of music. I love discovering something new that I enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of all the arts...music seems to have a universal place in the hearts of all of us. In my case i wanted to have a conversation with my dad. His PHD is in the humanities and he loves fine music. But my knowledge of history is conflict. So without telling him i took a college course in the history of music...and then took a second. Starting around Thanksgiving that year...i started dropping little nuggets into conversations. He turned at me at his dinner table and said, "What! Have you been reading!?" I laughed. It went on for two months before I admitted it. We finally had those conversations I needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old Andy. Some of my friends have suggested i getting to me a little like his Taxi driving Reverend Jim. Well maybe like his pre-pot college days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted October 4, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 4, 2020 This is the first song I saw Phyfe perform, when I met him at the Phoenix Renaisance Fair. I got to talk with him for twenty minutes or so. He was a hell of a nice guy and incrdibly talented. He was also an old-world bard. He was born in the wrong century, or the right one, I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people do time travel in a way. Not physically. Like in a movie. But when a great teacher like Phyfe inspires and teaches....he brings the past to the present...and put us in contact with our past. History books do that for me. I can get lost in a period. A topic. Like...murder...aye Salieri? Did you do it? I think you're guilty. Edited October 4, 2020 by Historian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
