I only hear this because it's in my favourites. I wish it could go back into rotation - yes it has a banjo, but yes its brilliant

The composition, arrangement, and playing are all utterly masterful, but yeah, you're right, it does have a banjo.  You have a point.  Wait, nevermind.

Wow, and I mean that positively.

I just a few days ago saw Weird Al on his "Strings Attached" tour. Now that  was a funny pairing with a 41-piece orchestra.

Cool pick, I like it.  I thought it was Bela Fleck, he's done similar work on an album called perpetual motion.

Yep, like I always say...there's no better accompaniment for a full symphony orchestra than a 4-string banjo.

I'm not a banjo fan, nor do I like country...but if I wanted to hear Comfortably Numb (and I do love PF) and Shattered every 2nd day on cue, then I'd listen to Classic Rock Radio.  Bill and Rebecca's genius is in the variety, the segues, the thought provocation.  Thank you both for making radio a fun experience again!

I'm not sure this knows what it wants to be when it grows up, which is a good reason to postpone growing up. {#Bananasplit}

Kinda goes past "Something Completely Different" to "Something Completely Annoying". Some Copeland would be much more better or maybe Luther Wright and the Wrongs. One way or the other.

The entire suite is simply fantastic.  It helps to know the story.  Get the thing, listen and see.

Thanks, now at least I'll get a chuckle out of remembering this the next time this song comes on.

From an Baba O'Riley-ish intro it progresses to Jethro Tull style.

Interesting segue from Who's "Rain on me" to this song, which begins with a bit of a similar start to Who's "baba o'riley". You guys keep me thinking and listening.

Very eclectic in the RP way, which is how I like it.

Mind blown by the transition from VT, Landsailor to this!  Seems like Bill has given us an influx of new awesome segues to enjoy recently.

I love this piece, but the rest of the album I find only so-so.  Very disappointed.  But, thanks for playing this one beautiful piece.

The music itself is very traditional or perhaps "formulaic", but "a hundred times before from a hundred different groups"?  I've seldom heard a banjo accompanying a small orchestra and I don't believe they even allow banjos at Renaissance Festivals.

I like it with the exception of what sounds like an occasional piccolo or some such sounding thing and well I just don't like the instrument.

Hillbilly classical at its finest!
Posted 9 years ago by ick    [ Reply ]
This really surprised me. Pulled me right out of what I was doing to listen, and I really enjoyed it. It's got more inherent excitement and pickmeup than most "renfair tracks" (as another described it).

Masterful. I'm generally a harsher critic than the average, but I really liked this track.

I usually applaud all kinds of musical variety (well I try to with these tentacle arms) but this track stinks. Sorry.
