Ed Dolan & Melanie

You never want to love anyone who can return it. Nay, only unrequited love
is worth anything.

Here is Melanie, forever beyond my reach.

Again!

Let me ask you, do you go to your grave any more unrequited than I do?

Cute! Lucky I turned the sound off quickly. Almost as painful as the
Scots pipes!

What should be used as the Scottish national music instead of the
insipid Flower of Scotland:

Yodeling is the heart leaping for joy. Anyone who does not understand this
is a barbarian.

So what is not to like? I have always loved bagpipe music provided it keeps
to a quick step. The Irish Uillin pipes are even more beautiful. The air
flow is accomplished with the elbow instead of the lungs.

I don't understand yodeling. It reminds me of that unwatchable and
weird cartoon that played when i was a child "Heide". I grew up in
Buenos Aires. Germanic European folk culture was probably something as
alien to me as when the Europeans arrived in Africa, America or East
Asia.

When I went to Northern Germany in the 80s and saw men wearing green
knickers, long socks and leprechaun looking shoes I thought that I was
in some episode of star trek, or, the very famous bar scene in star
wars. Melanie could have been singing in the star wars bar scene and
the alien effect would have been the same.

There is nothing difficult to understand about yodeling at all. It is simple
music, merely a style of vocalizing not all that different than Sherman's
Handelian operatic arias. German folk culture is the best in the world. If
it is alien to you, then that is because you are the alien. Is not Argentina
mainly of European descendants?

All kinds of folk culture simply go back a few hundred years. I am convinced
that those who are unable to appreciate folk music are also incapable of
appreciating fine art music. In fact, very many composers extensively used
folk music in their compositions.

I found BWV 232 [1] to be strange at first hearing, but have come to
agree with Hans Georg Nägeli that it is the greatest work of all peoples
and all times.
