Now normally I'm a Billie Holiday fan, but she never done that, and that's right on the button.........

Cheers Mark.

And then although I much prefer the orchestral piece, I do think that what this man has done with it for the modern generation is Genius!

Orchestral performed by the BBC Orchestra.

The work of art that is...Tiesto!

Love the first, the other just sounds like noise to me.

However, strings should be used like this but to be honest I prefer brass and wood wind myself.

Cheers Mark.

See now you're showing your age Mark

But yes, I do like the two options you've given, and I do agree.

I like strings like this better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbdPU...eature=related

As for instruments, well I have been know in the past to get a reasonable tune out of organs, coronets, trombones, bass trombones and currently struggling to find the time to get my self sorted out on the flute

[rictus01]

see i appriciate the playing, but it sounds (as a lead instrument) too harsh to me.

Edit: Knew the bit of music, didn't know what it was called though, but found it

My point strings in lead, but supported are dramatic, I'm just not that keen on them by themselves

SK do you have a flute? I was thinking about possibly selling mine as I dont really play it much - and getting Soprano Sax instead

If were onto classical then this is one of my all time faves - stick with it it really gets going into some awesome harmonies - my dad has always played it and reminds of my childhood

Then this is what I'm playing on the piano at the moment (when I'm not playing the Sax!) - again give it time and the beautiful harmonies kick in

Songs OK, but the intro is awesome.

Cheers Mark.

Ah it's an Alto Sax - I always though it was on a Soprano Sax!! Yep super intro - I always liked the song but I think it was just because I was having a great time in my life
