If you don't give a fuck, shouldn't you always have lots of fucks in reserve? I'm confused.
Greatest tune ever sung

My friend Matt Tolentino shared this tune from his Valentine show on 2/12--I'm sure you recognize it as a California Rambler's arrangement!

Beautiful performance on a beautiful instrument indeed! My friend Jerry F. Bacon (1942-2017) played that numerous times when he was organist at the Landmark Pizza and Pipes in Dallas, Texas at Abrams and NW Hwy. from 1974 to 1976, then later in Houston working for the same company in 1977. People would request it as Capt. Nemo's theme from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, although that is not what he played, but he knew what they wanted to hear. He had resurrected the 1921 pipe organ in the Capri (formerly Melba) Theater in Dallas on Elm Street in the mid-60's. He would play the 15 minute intermissions and I would sit in the balcony because that was on the same level as the pipe chambers. His specialty was the music of the 1920's and one of my favorites was the 1928 paean to the Model A Ford "Henry's Made a Lady Out of Lizzie". Another was "'N Everything" sung by Eddie Cantor in 1918, following It's a Great Big Wonderful World We Live In.
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor

If anybody needs reason to go beyond the famous introduction, I have six solid reasons:
1) 4:07 We're in the midst of this beautiful string section that already sounds like honey, and then we get this sweeping glissando from an E7 chord to an Ab chord. Beautiful.
2) 7:27 This section just sounds like a storm, and the melody adds to the chaos. Especially right here where the horns buzz around and help the cadence end with more storm.
3) 15:30 POW! We went through a creepy fugue, and then through another storm. Here, at the height of the storm, this C5 chord drops like a thunderbolt from Zeus.
4) 21:16 Strauss has got us in a dance mood, but here, the tempo goes out of control and the dance truly begins to whirl.
5) 26:19 This section is just so happy. It's heroic, but on steroids. Everybody in the orchestra is going insane, the feeling is ecstatic.
6) 29:20 The strings and woodwinds twinkle in the stratosphere here, shining and brilliant.
Just listen to the whole thing.
