Subject: RE: You don't hear what I hear!
Hi Tunes,
Actually my taste has changed very little. I appreciate the same as before plus more. My recent discoveries have challenged or changed my old favorites. Just added more books to the shelf so to speak.
But I do agree I may not hear the same nuances in a tune that you do. I have heard Foster and Allen do Mountains of Mourne as nice old Irish tune by Percy French. It is nicely done and it passes 4 1/2 minutes fairly well. But I have heard Gordon Bok do it as a Tragic- Comic set piece that shows the heart break and loneliness of an out of place rustic soul thrust into the modern world. I can't say that anyone else would hear it that way, but I do. ( Gordon told me sometime later that that is what he hoped to express in his version of the song.)
