Let's try something a little different today... I'm curious about people's musical wishes. That could be anything from "I'd love to see [deceased performer] in concert" to "I wish someone would make a Mama Mia-style musical featuring the songs of Limp Bizkit" to "I'd love to be able to play Classical Gas on the guitar."
I think we've all got these types of musical desires, right? And most of us are not musicians in our own right, such that we could make these things come true. But let's indulge those wishes for a day. What are your musical wishes?
01. "skin" – absinthe father – good enough
02. "So Fine" – The Lemon Twigs – Brothers Of Destruction
03. "Swing Star (Part 1)" – Todd Terje – It's Album Time
04. "Bottle Rocket" – The Go! Team – Thunder, Lightning, Strike
05. "intro" – Oso Oso – basking in the glow
06. "Walls (Circus)" – Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – She's The One
07. "Air On A G-String" – Wendy Carlos – Switched-On Bach
08. "Ab-Souls Outro (Feat. Ab. Soul)" – Kendrick Lamar – Section.80
09. "Don't Judge Me" – Janelle Monáe – channel ORANGE
10. "Pack The Pipe" – The Pharcyde – Bizarre Ride II
this isn't much, but if i could play one instrument perfectly, it would definitely be piano.
and I wish I could play trombone by ear
That would be cool! Most people use their mouth and their arms.
I knew it would happen, and I knew it would be you. It was only a matter of time.
he does treat puns with a reverendce.
When you set it on a tee like that, I pretty much have to swing at it.
A corollary to this: I'd wish for my kids to be really really good at playing the piano.

Mrs. Twayn and I are at Grand Casino Mille Lacs for the Alan Parsons concert. The last time (and first time) we saw him was a dozen years ago in Las Vegas. My one musical wish is that I hadn’t given up on the trumpet after one year.
I think it's been that long for me, too. His new stuff has a nice nostalgic bent. Enjoy
I wish I knew what albums I would love so I didn't have to guess
Meanwhile, I find the guessing to be the most enjoyable part.
yup.
I wish I were skilled at improvising. I really admire jazz musicians and others who can improvise.
