I had no idea that was Girl from Ipanema until I read the notes!

Bingo! :idea: Thanks Byrdman!

 

Music transcends any single language, and is, perhaps, the universal language. :)

 

Your posting gives us another wonderful example of someone reading, comprehending, and interpreting it so that it made sense - music - in the mind. :thu:

The building portrayed in the picture is the bar where Antonio Carlos (Tom) Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes used to sit, drinking beer and chatting idly. And almost every day they saw this tall, young girl going down the road to the beach, and that's how the song was born...

 

Olha que coisa mais linda

mais cheia de graça

è ela menina

que vem e que passa

num doce balanço

caminho do mar

Dreamer, you've made me curious about Brasil...

 

Just after it got dark this evening, there were a number of deer in my back yard, hiding from hunters and warily munching on whatever vegetation is still sticking up through the snow.

As winter settles in, I can more easily appreciate the allure of a place like Ipanema, with its undoubted opportunities to observe dear of a different nature.

 

Here are a few illuminating Ipanema links:

Of course, if it were a real one, I'd be pretty depressed right now.

Hey Jeff! Way to go, man!! :D:thu::P

You really showed your guts by doing what

all of us Hammond Hands have learned to fear.

(Awesome guy stuff...)

Here's your prize for successfully participating:

Jeep,

thank you for your links. :cool:

 

I love the image of those deers in your back yard.

Here are two pictures I took in 1999 in your beautiful country.

Hmmm, it's interesting that that photo of A Garata de Ipanema is written in 2/4. I've always seen it written in 4/4....

Richard, as far as I know the bossa nova rhytm in the beginning was considered by brazilian musicians like Ary Barroso almost a "slowed down" samba and a samba is typically written in 2/4; aside from that, playing a bossa nova in 2/4 instead of 4/4 gives it a more syncopated or "faltering" groove, which fits well a song like "Garota de Ipanema".

I think that this leads to an interesting point: how playing a rhytm in 2/4 or 4/4 adds or detracts tension. :idea:

I'm using picture #1 as a background on my computer.

 

Most excellent. :thu:

Once again, thanks to you, Tom :)

I just hope that you don't change your wallpapers at the same rate as you change your avatars or your signatures... :P

Aw Geeeeez... I think it's a mind game that has been turned on in my head and I can't stop it. Kinda like those freakin' DOGS that just won't stop barking. :mad: Lately I have been going through some changes with this stuff, haven't I?

 

Where some might say that this points to deeper psychological problems, I'm thinking that I just can't make up my mind which ones I like. :P

 

It's all good... and thank you. :)

Exactly: the sequence is:

1- Switch "Start" then -after a few seconds-

2- Switch "Run"; when the wheels are spinning

3- Release "Start"

 

(Disclaimer - I don't own a Hammond: just checked again the aforementioned website...)

No, you should wait till it's up to speed on "Start" before you turn on the "Run" switch. If you turn on the synchronous motor too soon, it could resist the start motor getting it up to the proper speed. It can synchronize at half speed or other multiples of the normal run speed, and resists being sped up just as it resists slowing down. Get it cranked up and running at half speed and you can get some killer bass out of it, though!
