Crazy Rhythms

[paultuttle]

paultuttle, for some variety for your young not-exactly-singer neighbor, how about Aaron Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man"? Lovely parts for bass drum, cymbal, and very shrill trumpets and French horns!

Interestingly, the young "singer" next door has "graduated" to mimicking a doorbell chime: a high note followed by a fall of a third (so that what he produces sounds like DING-dong).

And doing it repeatedly (!!!) outside my home-office window at approximately 4:45 p.m. daily.

I suppose the silver lining is that it's an aural reminder that the work day is almost over and I need to start the winding-down process.

(Finding my silver linings where I can . . . . [interthreaduality alert])

Yes, silver linings are always good!

I've been listening to Erik Wollo and Meg Bowles. Their albums are good for de-stressing.
