These women are all very accomplished pianists. None of them are models pounding on keys. Like everything else marketing is different than it was for Maria João Pires: born 23 July 1944 who came to international fame in 1970 |

I'm ok with a classical piece performed as it was written but I'm a huge music fan and thats not why I go to concerts I want to see the musician be creative. I live for what essentially is jazz. IMPROVISATION The Dead were great at it. I held Jerry Garcia to very high standards. I saw him several nights in a row multiple times. I demanded and expected creativity. Thats why I saw him night after night. IMPROVISATION. Thats where the real magic in music is. Living in the moment and going for it with improvisation. Playing music in a way you have not played it before. The magic of the band going to different places getting the crowd excited and the band using that crowd energy. The energy going back and forth from the band to the crowd and back. I live for that. Its magical. It did not happen at every Dead Show but when it did, one of the most incredible experiences in my life. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Incredible performance Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5094 | it's one of the things women are conflicted about I think, they complain about being reduced to sexual objects while being quite ready to exploit their looks if they can. They don't like having this pointed out, either. I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |
