This is a piece I wrote, having now moved from the city. I'm laying down some country roots and was inspired by the idea of Bach moving to the country. It's kind of humorous and hope you enjoy it.
Bach would have been awesome on the pedal steel
I know little about about music history and nothing about style or composition, but one can see how the Scotts Irish settlers of the 18th century took the Church music of their time (ie. Bach) and transferred it to the instruments they had with them on the frontier.
how clever and fun! more, please!
AI? I’m waiting to hear Sinatra do Led Zeppelin.
Get Bach to where you once belonged!..............
Sounds a bit Cajun.
I like Cajun.
I love Bach. He is definitely my favorite composer and in my opinion the greatest. This video shows how wonderful and versatile his music really is.
I had a friend back in the 70’s and 80’s who played pedal steel; “Jesus Joy of Man’s Desiring”, “Air on a G String”, and “Wachet Auf” were some that I remember were part of his repertoire.
The image doesn’t — I wish I could see it, dfwgator.
Thanks, SavageBeast!
Yeah, a bit. I like Cajin too... and the food!
Very Good! I’m surprised there isn’t an image or gif for that.
Thank you very much, avital2!
Very true! They added double stops and drones to their music to give it that country feel.
Yes! That could be the new thing.
