OT: Arizona Coyotes Lounge XIII -- Summertime Blues

[Bondurant]

Oh yeah, just got my ticket for the game in Vegas.

Tickets are hot! Cheapest seat on StubHub is $169 currently. On a Tuesday! More expensive that the current cheapest ticket against Detroit a few days later ($123).

At least there's still good deals for lodging on Tuesday. Prices are at least double beginning that Friday.

You might have accidentally set your view to "fixed width". Check the bottom left corner.

That I did! Not sure how that happened, but all fixed up.

Thank you sir.

How was your eclipse? The Coyotes had fun.

I was at work throughout without a view, but I wasn't planning on catching it anyway (I saw one when I was a kid; it wasn't that exciting). Still, I hope anyone that traveled or held a party had a "occultationistic" time...

 

[Lilhoody]

I slept through it.

^ in case anyone is curious what the German says:

"From the director of Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunter"

"Seven sisters. One identity."

Traffic sucked today. Took me an hour to get home. Ugh.

Apparently not only is that trophy referred to as the John Scott Cup, but Scott is the Jerry West of this league, i.e. the model for the league logo.

So I get to play the piano at my sister's wedding next weekend. Here's a selection of what I've decided to play:

Felix Mendelssohn - Wedding March (no-brainer)
Frederic Chopin - Nocturne in E flat major, Op. 9 No. 2
Frederic Chopin - Waltz in A minor Op. Posth.
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (1st movement only, I suck at the other two)
Johann Sebastian Bach - Prelude in C major
Sergei Rachmaninoff - Prelude in C sharp minor
Vince Guaraldi - Linus and Lucy

Anything you guys think I should add? I have about a week to learn anything new.

I lean towards Grieg when it comes to classical music, but not sure if too many of his pieces would work well for the occasion. Still, here's a 3+hour YouTube video with someone performing a number of his Lyric Pieces (some might work for you and could probably be learned in a week)

I'm somewhat new to classical, had never heard of Greig, Mendelssohn, or guaraldi. I'm downloading some of their stuff now.

While we're on the subject, I really like Vivaldi, Paganini, and really anytjing string heavy and exciting. Any recommendations based on that?

Also, @RR I got Spotify, so I can finally get all the premiata forneria Marconi, and gentle giant albums. So much better than basic amazon prime music like I had.

Not sure if you ever checked out animals as leaders, but there's another similar band that's a little more proggy, scale the summit. I really like both.

If it makes you feel any better, I came across Grieg circuitously via progressive metal band Savatage:


Of course that video doesn't truly explain the connection. Here's an audio version of the above track preceded by a metal interpretation of Grieg's composition (as they were organized on the original album):

 

[Matias Maccete]

Oh man I forgot about Savatage, I liked them too.

Anyone know of someone who can help wall mount a TV in Chandler? My drill isn't strong enough to get the damn thing through the studs haha.
