Wolf; I just listed to Face of the Deep off The All Seeing Eye.  Thanks!  Once again, I feel like I'm learning something new about music.

You are welcome Dave. I have a very eclectic taste .Today  I am currently re exploring early Pink Floyd___  Set the controls for the heart of the Sun  and earlier, even back to the Syd Barrett years.

I like to listen to some early Pink Floyd from time to time too.  I also like the early Floyd in David Gilmour's recent live videos.

Another rainy day here in Minnesota so it was Ralph Towner and Eberhard Weber: Solstice, and Colors of Chloe.  Reminds me of a concert triple I was fortunate to attend many years ago in Springfield, Massachusetts of all places that featured Towner's Oregon, The Gary Burton Quartet, and Return to Forever. They played from 6:00 PM to 1:00 AM in a quaint little theater with fabulous acoustics. One of the best concerts I've had the pleasure to attend.

Brian ,  
That period of the ECM discography remains quite memorable to me . Manfred Eicher of ECM really knows how to pick them !
I would expect nothing less of a good Bass player ____

Oregon, Gary Burton, and RTF on one bill; that would have been a full night of music.

It was quite possibly the best concert I've ever seen/heard/experienced: Towner, Burton, and Corea at their best. To this day, I honestly have no idea as to how I ended up back in my dorm room the next morning. The only thing that came close was a concert at which I worked at Dillon Stadium in Hartford CT which included the Allman Brothers and Santana as opening acts for the Dead. My job...to walk around the concert grounds with a broom stick perched atop of which was a red colored pie plate that when raised indicated that I had found someone having a bad trip who needed help. I ran in to enough individuals in this category that I later decided to major in psychology and have been working in the human service profession for 30 plus years.

Brian,
That is a very interesting story.
Thanks for sharing.

Please don't take this the wrong way but is there a limit to the number of posts to a thread? This topic is very interesting but it is up to 100 posts now and I would have thought it exhausted as a topic.  Just an observation not a criticism.  Glynn

To answer Glynn's question: no, there is no limit to the number of posts. There is an automatic archiving feature that kicks in after an given number of posts on a thread, but you can click on the archive at the top of the thread to find the older posts.
 
Personally, I find that one can never tell that a subject has been truly exhausted until it already has. And hopefully I will have shut up by then.
 
So what music have I been listening to? Was planning to put on a CD of Bach's St Matthew's Passion for Easter, but opted for Mendelssohn's string quintets. Had a most excellent mental musical workout during a Charles Ives marathon in Amsterdam a few weeks back. Played a CD by Paul van Kemenade ft. Ernst Reijseger (and reminisced about the old amateur workshop led by Paul where we often did Ballad of The Fallen). Started name-dropping . . .

I don't think this topic can ever be exhausted; what I'm listening to now changes about as often as now changes.  I, for one, could have posted at least once a day since my previous listing.
