What song are you currently listening to now?

[Rothman]

No, no, I understood what the words meant.  I'm just trying to figure out why someone would be playing that song on a carillon.

They did "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" earlier.

Couple of weeks ago, they did the theme song from "Alfie."

I think they may have played the Addams Family theme for Halloween...

...

As an aside, I have a standing invitation to play the carrilon at Indiana University sometime...

Have you played one before?  I have, and it's definitely a fun experience!  My parents' church was celebrating a milestone anniversary, and they invited me to play that day.  I arranged probably two dozen hymns for that day's performance, which was more difficult than it sounds because it has both a limited range and also no "black key" levers except B♭ and F♯.  It's a definitely a different thing, knowing that the entire neighborhood can hear any mistakes you might make...

Nope.  The IU carrilon is new (I miss the old one).  Wonder if it has a broader range.

I don't consider that band to be a one-hit wonder.  Is it common to think of them in that way?

^^And Al Stewart is not a one-hit wonder.

I know he got a second hit with "Time passages" but the radio stations in my neck of wood mainly play "Year of the cat" hence why I think he was a one-hit wonder.

Been listening to a whole lot of Jelly Roll lately. Found about him through a radio station playing at a convenience store in Abingdon a few weeks ago.

Don't usually actively listen to music (and, when I am, I ain't often browsing this forum), but songs do get stuck in my head pretty much always. Recently it's been ALR3ADY D3AD and Spare Me! by PrinceWhateverer.

Today, I'm working through full albums by U2, on YouTube, in order by release date.  I'm currently on "Desire", from Rattle and Hum.

The only person I've ever heard pronounce "H" as "haitch" is Peter Noone, the lead singer of Herman's Hermits, in the song "I'm Henry VIII, I Am," when he spells out "Henry" late in the song—at the very end, he sings it like "haitch, e, n, ah, y—'Enery ('Enery!), 'Enery ('Enery!)—'Enery the eighth I am, I am, 'Enery the eighth I am." (You can thank me later for getting that song stuck in your heads all day.)

I had to proceed to the end of the thread to submit "No Milk Today," perhaps a typical track by HH but my favorite of theirs.
