Music From The Hive

[Miss B]

Completely with you about Queen and Freddie - thanks for that video! Will watch it when I get a chance!

Thanks from me too, as I'm interested on how they put that piece together.

Yes! Queen! Freddie Mercury was a rock god. What a voice, what a showman. What a tragic loss.

I also agree about the loss, and that's a fantastic 3D representation you did of the man.

 

[Alisa]

Yeah, love that image!

I just watched it Alisa, and it's quite informative. After a while I just "listened" to it while here on our forum, and it was nice having Bohemian Rhapsody playing in the background.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. Fascinating, wasn't it? All those little parts that came together to make something so completely epic... Blows my mind. I wish I could "speak music" the way musicians like that do.

Oh, and that's Michael 3 as Freddie.

 

[James R.]

Yeah, love that image!

Thanks! I did that for his 70th birthday last year. It was daunting.

I was explaining to our Lucy earlier about this thread and that it was a place for people to post their favourite songs and singers. Anyhow, I promised to post this one because it's her 'favouritest song' and she wants you all to listen and sing it too! All together now............

I know what you mean. I'm lucky I could, once upon a time, read music, but to actually "know" it like they do? Nope, never could.

Oh, and that's Michael 3 as Freddie.

Ohhhhh, well the pose and lighting are perfect, and I liked him better with the mustache and short hair from his later years.

I love Queen! I've always wondered what Bohemian Rhapsody was about. Talk about some really smart guys, Brian May is also an astrophysicist. They are such a part of out culture now.

This is one of my all time favorite songs:

Oh! My son is in a band, he's been musically inclined all of his life. Moved to Tacoma when he was 18 for the music scene. He did the music on a couple of my videos:

WOW, that is smart. I've never thought about what other professions musicians might have, except one of our local Jazz musicians here in NY, whose web site I designed. Turns out he's a teacher and, of course, he teaches Jazz at an Intermediary School, so I guess that's not really a surprise, but a musician who's also an astrophysicist? I never would've guessed.

Apparently there's supposed to be a high correlation between people who are good at maths and music.

 

[Miss B]

I've always believed that with programming as well, especially all forms of Algebra.

 

[James R.]

Apparently there's supposed to be a high correlation between people who are good at maths and music.

I have a number of friends who have electrical engineering degrees -- and all five of them are very musically talented.

Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 Allegro...that is almost literally math as music.

May got his PhD in 2007, at 60. Awesome. He kind of looks like Isaac Newton...lol

 

[Miss B]

I was in my 50s when I got my second degree, though it wasn't a PhD. There's no age limit when it comes to going back to school.

Oh I agree! I went back to school at 29 and again at 44. My wife is working on her Master's and will get it at 50. Life long learning is a grand thing.

 

[Miss B]

That it is.

I have a friend who has degrees in math and musical theory, and one of his thesises was about math patterns in the music

I couldn't resist this one. Cheech Marin, Born In East LA...
