I still have that album, haven't played it in years. Grew up as a Mets fan in N.Jersey. Made many trips from the P.A. on the Blue Line to Willets Point to Shea Stadium. Ralph Kiner along with Bob Murphy and Lindsey Nelson on Cnannel 9 WOR.
There are several versions of this album. We had an original which, as this audio has it, opens with a solo french horn and includes the Virginia Slims jingle (I don't remember if there is a song credit on the back of the jacket). Then there is another online which opens with the french horn but doesn't include the Virginia Slims jingle (obviously for copyright reasons). I recently purchased another LP in perfect condition and it does have the Virginia Slims jingle (with a song credit on the back of the jacket) but the album opens up, not with a french horn, but an organ playing the old funeral dirge. Interesting. It does seem more fitting for the organ rather than the french horn.
Congratulations. Few have the chutzpah to attempt this. Mangiome wouldn't do "Feel,Of s Vision" on his early 70s concert in the Bay Area (he told me) since he wouldn't have Marvin Stamm. Few solo pieces are more daunting. This is the very first cover I've heard. Bravo!
I became a sportscaster because of Bob Murphy! The memories and thrills of 1969 will live on forever! Hope the ‘22 team can win it all but 1969 will ALWAYS be the greatest-a moment in time they will sit still forever!
@@stupaul3233 Ah yes. good old WJRZ. Murphy's call of Joe Torre's game-ending double play in the division clincher is the real deal. I stayed up to watch that game and the clubhouse celebration.
@@8avexp , I watched on Channel 9 as a 10 year old Brooklyn boy and yes the Brooklyn native Joe Torre hitting into that double play! Lindsey Nelson called it! What a wild scene at Shea Stadium that night! Go to 9 24 69 and you can see highlights of the 1969 NL East clincher from the actual WOR-TV telecast! They have it in two parts!
I was hoping to find out more about the recording you posted of the Brandenburg number two but you have the comments turned off so I gave it a thumbs down to see if you'd notice things and maybe tell me who the orchestra is and when it was recorded
Petrushka…Such a visual piece of music, and the Boise Philharmonic really does it justice! Noted soloists, Michael Bankston Clarinet, Paul Schiller on Piano, Jeanne Bethy (sorry if misspelled), English Horn, and Principal Trumpet William Blumberg with the unforgettable solo on “Dance of the Ballerina!” I’ve listened to many renditions of this piece, and this one ranks right up there with some of the best!
Thanks for sharing! If you have a second, I posted some original music. As a fellow music lover, I'd love if you would take a listen. It's on my page. I appreciate it!
