What is the Best Saxophone Song?

[SW VandeCarr]

Over 44 million hits on You Tube indicates Beethoven still is relevant today. The Moonlight Sonata (1st movement) shows how Beethoven could create a powerful mood with a very simple musical structure.

Thanks for the link SW. Nicely done. But I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to piano stuff. Here's a rendition of the Sonata in C# minor, op. 27, no. 2 that I found. It's not clear who's playing it, but whoever it is, they're very good (more than that wrt the presto agitato ... it's so technically perfect that I have to wonder if it wasn't computer enhanced somehow -- I've heard this done a few times by world class pianists and I think this is the best I've ever heard ... but maybe I'm just tired). The adagio sostenuto is of course the most widely known, but my favorite is the presto agitato (beginning at 8:05 in the video) -- imho, one of the greatest piano pieces ever.

This number here is currently top of the charts in my brain as an earworm. It's got an infectious, upbeat thing going, that puts me in mind of Queen without sounding exactly like Queen.

Strange, I was sure I posted it just a few minutes ago:

Beauty of small things. Sadly, just once I learned about Barney McKenna I also learned he died in April.

Talking about roses

While I love the song and the lyrics, the irony of these words coming from someone who died of a heroin overdose at age 27, is inescapable.

Here are a few song I enjoy, probably not the best songs...

Chevelle-Get some, tug-of-war, face to the floor, etc.

I really enjoying listening to rock songs.

Sometimes you can't get much closer to the truth than Country/Rock. This one is thanks to Rodney Crowell and Vince Gill.

I always thought this Bowie song was absolutely amazing.
