The Good Stuff



There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. --  Duke Ellington

This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

My CD has a different cover art, but it is the same album.

The Frogman seems to be in a soulful mood tonight.  I think McLean needs to work on his tone.  Etta and Ray, what is there to say.

If you’re serious, it’s actually a fabulous tone.  It’s his intonation that is weird. He plays consistently sharp. It got even worse in that respect later in his career, but he swings his ass off.

Is the difference in meaning between TONE and INTONATION in music the  same as it is in speech?
