MyLotter Jo Ann (@akalinus) spoke about meeting some people and spending quite some time with them. They got on really well despite having never met before and they’ve never met since. They didn’t even exchange names.

We’ve just finished watching a YouTube clip of a guy playing ‘The Typewriter’. This short composition was written by American composer Leroy Anderson. An actual typewriter is used in the performance and I thought maybe you hadn’t...

I like the idea of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra giving back to the community by having a young composers program to inspire children to be attracted to music at a young age.

Today I'm bringing you something a little different from my collection of Beatles' CDs. 101 Strings was active from 1957-1981 and recorded over 150 albums of easy listening music. There were actually 124 stringed instruments in...

I chose "Sleigh Ride" by Leroy Anderson and His Pops Concert Orchestra because it's a classic and heard many times during the cold, snowy season. Anderson lived from 1908-1975; but his music lives on. He was an American composer...

I will never willingly give up my Contemporary Christian Music, but since my mother-in-law moved in with us, I starting to appreciate big band music.
The music from the 30’s and 40’s is a lot different than the music we listen to...

This brilliant and very funny group have sparked a huge revival of interest in the ukulele as an instrument in the UK and further afield. They tackle songs many cover artists wouldn’t dare to touch including this Isaac Hayes theme...

I've been playing music since I was 11, and I always sort of thought I'd grow up and join an orchestra, or go to college and get some sort of degree in music. Obviously, neither of those things happened. I ended up playing a few...

Browsing in the youtube to listen to new tunes and I came across to a new version with the hit 21 Guns song from Greenday. It was so amazing and sounds like a master piece. Not the all Punk all Rock but its somewhat Orchestral....

If you're fond of watching movies, then you are certainly familiar with scenes near the end where the orchestra starts playing. It is when you know that everything will be all right. That whatever problems the lead characters were...
