Do You Know Which Rock Stars Are Classical Music Composers?
Most everybody likes all kinds of music.
Most musicians in the entertainment business know that all kinds of music don’t always all kinds of record sales and a whole lot of cash!
Most successful rock musicians know that if they had started their career playing classical music, they would very likely not have a career.
Sharing this really cool link about rock stars who also write classical music. You probably already knew about Paul McCartney. Right?
Here is the complete list.
1. Paul McCartney
2. Roger Waters
3. Frank Zappa
4. Jonny Greenwood
5. Bryce Dessner
6. Glenn Danzig
7. John Paul Jones (???)
(???) No doubt the former bassist for Led Zepellin has the skills but he has been writing an opera for several years. (John Paul Jones Is Writing an Opera, UCR article dated June 2013). Loyal fans who believe are wondering and waiting.

In a conversation with Rachel Martin, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood explains that classical music has been a parallel passion since he was a kid. https://t.co/i4O7YX9BnN— NPR (@NPR) February 26, 2018

The way in which @bryce_dessner assembled classical music and rock within his compositions is extraordinary. “St. Carolyn by the Sea” is an album influenced by Jack Kerouac’s novel Big Sur.

For Music Lovers: Yanni Live at the Acropolis
Joined a social site a couple of years ago and made some new friends. I am really enjoying my activity in this social blogging community. It's called Virily and the members are called Virilyans. Doesn't that name conjure up images in your mind? Hail! We are Virilyans from the planet Virily. We come in peace.
The website is a peaceful site. It has a lovely visual display and you can find lots of interesting topics from fashion to home decor to art to general "feel good" news about people doing nice things for other people. My latest post is about "Yanni, Live at the Acropolis". I like to chat about music that I like and I've published several discussions (see links below).
