I’m not as mobile as I once was.

I know that feeling, Trigger.

It certainly did Dave

The squirrels looked like they were enjoying themselves as well, Mel.

Here’s an electronic musical instrument which many people may have heard – e.g. as in the Theme from “Midsummer Murders”, but probably never seen.

Katica Illényi – playing the Theremin – two contrasting pieces:
“Only You”


and
“Once upon a time in the West” – Ennio Morricone

Thanks for posting those Trigger - much appreciated.

I have seen that instrument before and I believe I have seen the 'Once Upon a Time in the West' one before, as that tune is also one of my all-time favourites. You only have to ask my wife.

I have also taken the liberty of changing your posted link to it, to the actual embedded video.

Thanks for comments! Thanks for changing the link - tried twice but couldn't work out the piece to put between the "youtube" bits! Katica is a very talented lady - fabulous violinist - and tap dances too!
I very much enjoy the music of Morricone. “Gabriel’s Oboe” – a very beautiful and emotional piece. The breath control for the soloist is amazing.

Morricone’s ‘Gabriel’s Oboe’ from ‘The Mission’

I just came across this version of 'Once Upon a Time in the West' which popped into the screen at the end of watching something else.
It's a solo piano by Adi Mehic accompanying a pretty young lady named Steffi Vertriest and appears to be recorded in a church.

I have certainly never seen one Trigger or heard of a Theremin but what a strange instrument. I thought it was a modern invention but after a little Google I found it was patented in 1928 by its Soviet inventor.

That is my daily bit of new knowledge sorted

[Trigger]

Mel - pleased to be able to broaden your knowledge! My usual fee doesn't apply in this instance.
Here's a video clip of Leon Theremin playing the Theremin:

[Trigger]

Mel: I have only ever once seen a Theremin played and it was here in Lowestoft! It was it was many moons ago (in my dim and murky past!) and it was either on the seafront – or at Everitt’s park – during a day-time concert of some sort. Didn’t know what it was or why it made that very strange sound!

Here's something to 'warm the cockles of your heart" .....

Fantastic floats, superb costumes and some beautiful ladies, thank you for posting that Trigger my 'cockles' are well and truly warmed up

[morty1753]

My cockles are also warmed very nicely.

Thanks for posting Trigger

[Trigger]

I am delighted to learn that at least two ML's have had their 'cockles' nicely warmed!

I just happened to come across this variation of Ennio Morricone's 'Once Upon a Time in the West' by the 'Bel Canto Choir' of Vilnius, Lithuania.
