Loved the musical background on this.

Kind of like a Cajun klezmer band filtered through a smoky Parisian jazz club.

Yeah, I don’t understand it. Now that I’ve figured out how to get music on the videos, several people seem to think I have questionable musical taste. For some reason.

It was fun and unexpected and went great with the speed of the rider in the video. It looked like a pretty ride too. Nicely done!

(the Arboretum video, that is!)

Yep, nothing like live uptempo gypsy and classic two-chord garage grunge punk with full distortion, poor record quality, and multiple out of tune screamers to cover ride videos. I wish I had discovered the Internets a long time ago…

I arranged and played a quasi-klezmer song for a show back in school, complete with clarinet, violin and saxophone. (I played keyboards for the song as well.) Great stuff. I can get into most music if it presents interesting challenges to play and it doesn’t involve too much distortion or drum machines. (Though I did play electric guitar in a high school rock band, and I used some electronic percussion in our school shows. Much better to have a real drummer.)

I haven’t played either keyboards or guitar in many years. I keep saying “one of these days, I’ll get back to it.”
