On Songs is Moving

This blog is moving to onandbeyondsongs.blogspot.com
The themes will be the same.  The look will be slightly different. My friend Darren will be joining the blog.  And I'll ask Old Grimy to stay with us as well.
See you over there!

Gu Qin

Which brings me back to the Gu Qin. This instrument gets closest to the pure sounds of nature of any that I've ever heard. I hope to play one of these some day.

Shahi Baaja

I've been thinking about getting one of these for a long time. It would be a lot of fun.  I wouldn't be able to do what Pete List is doing in the video but I could do some good stuff of my own on it.

I Can't Wait - Nu Shooz

[link] The early synth pop era resulted in a good number of fairly eclectically produced hitting the top 40.  This one is great.  One of the best uses of gogo bells in history.

Intro of Disney's Jesse

[link] Ru-Jun was into this show for a while a couple of years ago.  She still sings the theme from time to time.  It's a charming show with kids that are fun to watch but with predictably bad and over the top writing and acting.  I have always liked the intro.

El Final de la Noche - SVPER

[link] Recommended by my friend Darren.  Very reminiscent of early 80s brit/euro new wave, but also very textured and atmospheric. I love the analog equipment in the video. Good stuff.
