That might account for the lack of Water in his chart (unless it's in the rising sign). Concentration on the practicalities and skills rather than the emotional input.<br /><br />I'm not into any real classical stuff, but do enjoy a few of the well-known pieces: <br />classical-lite. ;-)<br />And whereas I couldn't sit through a full opera I enjoy famous arias - as sung by Mario Lanza and Mario Frangoulis especially. Beyond that, left to myself I'm a middle of the road old standards sort of gal (eg. Sinatra).Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-7945316913196696722010-04-19T13:51:18.436-05:002010-04-19T13:51:18.436-05:00Well that brought home a few memories from my teen...Well that brought home a few memories from my teenage years in the 70s. My parents were into classical music and had the set of 3 albums of duets that John Williams did with Julian Bream an English classical guitarist.<br /><br />Julian was the "artistic" one and John the technical virtuoso. A brilliant blend of two different styles and approaches to their music.<br /><br />My uncle plays violin with the Liverpool Philarmonic and studied with Yehudi Menuhin whom I met as a teenager as well. Not that that impressed me much as I don't have an interest in classical music myself though I can appreciate good music when I hear it. <br /><br />Certainly don't do opera or modern classical, but then punk and heavy metal weren't exactly my scene either....lol!Rossahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121831076599069841noreply@blogger.com
