except that Lorenzo has translated the lyrics. Now if he had posted the whole thing in Italian, it would have been breaking that rule.

I don't think he broke any copyright law. 
Maybe Logan will explain some more.

Does anyone know why the band name of my submitted artists has been censored? At least in my browser, it looks like this:



The name just means something like 'The group of bearded men'...

Skäggmans-la-get 

I tried it and got edited if you type the entire word together. believe it's close to the word f*ggot. Stupid editing system, obviously.

^ It makes little sense to me. There is neither an F or an O in it.

Test 1: Lag
Test 2: Laget
Test 3: sl*g./div>
Test 4: sl*g.t
Test 5: Lage
Test 6: Age
Test 7: Sla

So the system doesn't like the combination of S, L, A and G apparently.

We discussed the rules with Logan a year ago. To be honest I don't remember if it's allowed to post the translation of an entire song. Possibly we can write part of the translation.

In any case, Guccini would defend me if the EMI wanted to process me!!!

Hi everybody,

I'm pleased and thankful that you guys are having fun with this poll! Although I'm having a very busy week I'm doing my best to keep an eye on the poll. I meanwhile went through the songs that you have submitted so far and I noticed that a few of them don't quite comply with the basic idea of this poll.

This is in the first place about acoustic music performed by artists who write their own music. In relation to classical music I want to make an exception benefiting musical diversity. However covers of well-known songs of other genres can unfortunately not be included in this poll.

With regard to prog, I left the door open for less-known artists and bands only.

I hope you can understand that. The nominations are scheduled for Sunday. So there is still some time left to think about a possible substitute for the relevant submissions.

Cheers and see you soon! Smile

On that note, I realize I broke the rules twice, hey, a new record for me.  Okay, then, switching Lisa Lynne and Aryeh Frankfurter's version of Faure's "Pavane," to an original by Lisa Lynne, changed my first post on Page One.

First take on Lorenzo's entries, Page 3.  

Lorenzo:  Francesco Guccini “Primavera di Praga”  Here we have a sentimental sounding ballad sort of piece, with Guccini’s vocals and spare guitar to accompany him.  A haunting song of protests, political unrest, and upheaval.  Followed by another Francesco Guccini “Tango Per Due”  This is more strident (and striding, as in danceable), vocal, piano and violin, it sounds like.  Love the lyrics (thank you), comparing the male and female counterparts to the dance, in the chorus.  Lastly, with Francesco Guccini “Primavera “59”  A moment in time, captured, for the singer, recalling a time and erasing all but the moment(s).  Then,, musing upon how time passes and suddenly, here we are, 50 years later, thinking all along, we still have forever ahead of us.  And so we do, but maybe in a different place (my own thought).  I like the thoughtfulness and introspection of the third, the lyrical juxtaposition of male/female dance, and then, the protest song spare sound and storytelling of the first.  I think the 1st comes out ahead for me this time around.

No Nickie, all is fine. I was referring to hits such as 'Thunderstruck' or 'Somebody That I Used To Know'. Classical music is a different thing which I explained in my previous post. True, 'Pavane' is a famous piece by Fauré but Lisa and Aryeh's version is in fact their artistic interpretation of that piece. It's not only that the instrumentation differs. So please don't change anything!

I will stick with the original piece as of now.  I love the Pavane, but also love this, wasn't stuck on presenting the one over the other, more was wanting to bring this lovely duetting couple some interest, usually an intent of mine in these polls (and, indeed, anywhere, as I love to help out the lesser-known artists get heard).

As I said before, your duo is more than welcome. An artistic interpretation of a well know piece is not a cover. I just wanted to keep friendly and didn't mention the song titles that I was actually referring to.

  Again, not a problem.  A lot of times, we'll decide on our own to switch up, I have no problem with that and enjoy this piece as much as their take on the classical piece.  Smile

Thanks for your comments, Nickie.

I do appreciate your words.
You are

Still, I prefer the third song for his arrangement.

I enjoyed that, too, for it's complexity, making me very attentive to it.  They all warred fiercely for top place of your three for me, lol.

I'm keeping another option in reserve, just in case. All of a sudden I have doubts about my choices. lol

It is a young Syrian flutist and composer who is based in France and has gained some attention in recent years. Musical genres: World music and jazz.

Naïssam Jalal: Al Maadiya 


Slowly start thinking about your nominations please. They are scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday. Wink

@Mila-13, I need a Board of Directors verdict please...
My video LAZULI - 9 HANDS AROUND THE MARIMBA, in keeping with the spirit of the theme I must confess that it IS a digital and therefore electronic instrument being played even though it is a marimba sound. I'm thinking it should probably be omitted from consideration as such. Don't be overly patronizing with me now, would you agree?
Thank you for supporting independently produced music
