In Reply to: After almost 3 years of abstinence, am about to... posted by DevillEars on February 27, 2007 at 09:56:06:
Delivering such time and cash to such a project I certainly would NOT regard as proof positive that you are in the throes of dementia...In your place, I would seek to be allocated the classification of being "a touch eccentric" instead...
For positive indications of dementia I would be looking for slightly firmer indications, such as you seeking to purchase Bruce's no longer played "Chipmunks play Christmas Carols" records, etc...
After all, there ARE limits to "sanity"!...:-)

Follow Ups:
the Chipmunks vinyl is not for sale. The sonics of that album are enough to make one eat acorns.Sounds like fun, Dave!
My Scandahoovian heritage recently obligated me to take possession of this little gem.
Oops, NT.
sound like the Chipmunks...just play it at 45 rpm! (or 78, if you have it!)
Best regards,
Dad didn't think it very funny, but I sure did.
... does not hold too much appeal, so - if you don't mind - I'll pass...There are some albums buried away in those cartons that I'd very much like to hear again - particularly as the last time many of them were actually played was back in the early 1990's on a system that comprised a Thorens TD-160C + AT410 feeding a B&O Beolab 5000 integrated amp which, in turn, drove a pair of Kef Cadenza's...
These include albums by Renaissance, Raphael Ravenscroft (of Baker Street sax fame), Paul Desmond, and a variety of classical performances I've not been able to locate on CD:
- Sibelius' "Finlandia" with PO/Ormandy + Mormon Tabernacle Choir
- Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto #1 with Sviatoslav Richter & BPO/von Karajan
- Beethoven Violin Concerto with Michel Schwalbe & BPO/von Karajan
to mention a few...I am looking forward to hearing how they sound on the current set-up (which is a wee bit different to that original system).
Pleasant sax indeed, but do you know who delivered the (sexiest cameo sax solo in creation, as far as I am concerned!) sax accompaniment to Hazel O'Connor's "Will You?"?...Many panties have hit the floor to the accompaniment of that gloriously seductive playing...
Further examples of that player's musicianship I WOULD be interested in seeking out...
Bill.
... with Raphael Ravenscroft wailing away on that marvellous sax intro...
"Don't roll those blood-shot eyes at me!"
Let me start by admitting that I'd never heard of Hazel O'Connor until your post (hangs head in shame)...In answer to your question: "Lyn Fredrick" (ain't Google wonderful?)
And as a treat for introducing me to a new artist, please see link below...
"Don't roll those blood-shot eyes at me!"
"Will You?" is the only track that I would go out of my way to hear, partly because there is a very (untypically?) "personal" delivery during this song, but yes, mainly because of that beautiful final solo sax sequence...For heaven's sake, don't try and "make do" with the sludgy and veiled parody of the sounds delivered by "downloads"... get yourself a record or CD (I have both!) to be able to FEEL the sounds tingle through both your body and your soul...
Thanks for the confirmation of this player's identity... I have not, as yet, traced any albums of her work...
After some Googling, this came to light:Lyn Fredrick studied for 4 years at the Military school
of music - Kneller Hall, where she honed her woodwind
skills and performed internationally - including a tour with Vera Lyn.She plays flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, saxophone and piano and has performed with many talented artists and bands over the years. In 2003 she played in Amsterdam with sax legend - Candy Dulfer.
As a solo artist Lyn developed a virtually inexhaustible repertoire of songs as well as a powerful voice with a fantastic vocal range. In addition to performing with Serendipity she also teaches music - running FIRST NOTES SCHOOL OF MUSIC, as well as teaching at several local schools.
Stuart Anderson taught himself guitar at the age of 11 and immediately started writing songs - and performing them at St Helena School, Colchester. Around the same time he also started studying piano, moving on to Keyboards, after taking his Grade 8.
He has performed extensively as a solo artist in the Gospel circuit and has a mellow voice and lively personality. In Serendipity he plays keyboards as well as electric and acoustic guitars.
Outside of music, he enjoys IT, football and going to the gym.PS: Here's a link to recent Serendipity website:
PPS: I also managed to locate 2-minute video clip of the Lyn Fredrick sax solo part of "Will You" - see link below.
Sexy Saxy Solo (ouch - that was bad!)
Enjoy the video clip - it might make up for the "Wedding Singer" aspect of Serendipity Duo....
Here's another little saxophonist that's being heard rather regularly on the CBC - although I have none of her music yet I plan to rectify that in right short order.
YOu will note, via the link, her birthplace. Is no so far from where my and Janita's parents are from.
