Jeep Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 Bingo! 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.

Dreamer Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 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...

Jeep Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 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: http://sprezzatura.editthispage.com/garota#story http://www.bossanovaguitar.com/antonio_carlos_jobim/chords_lyrics/the_girl_from_ipanema.html http://www.sambacity.info/a-garota-ipanema-partitura.html http://www.sambacity.info/a-garota-ipanema-partitura-notes.html http://www.etc.ch/~jason/Lyrics/garota_de_ipanema.html http://ipanema.com/citytour/ipanema.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamer Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Jeep, thank you for your links. I love the image of those deers in your back yard.

guestuserguestuser.com Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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

JeffLearman Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 SO, what IS the right way? My recollection is that Start is a momentary switch; you pull both and then release Start after a few seconds, when you hear the wheels spin up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...)

JeffLearman Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Well it still blows up! Good thing I didn't do that on a real instrument. (As I recall, on a real instrument you can tell by listening when you're doing it right.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recollection is that Start is a momentary switch; you pull both and then release Start after a few seconds, when you hear the wheels spin up. 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! "A cheerful heart is good medicine." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
