I am really 90, born in 1918 but the scroll stops at 1920. I have tried to blog twice with no success so I'll make this short. I am a retired mechanical engineer. I play viola in orchestras, mainly www.baps-orch.co.uk and flageolet ("tin whistle") mainly in http://www.swing39jazz.co.uk/ . I make the orchestra's website and several others, and I teach the over 50s computing at the Lyndhurst Uk Online Centre. In August 2008 I played tin whistle solos with Herbie Flowers' Rock Band in the Dartington Hall Summer School concerts. I recommend being active to other old-timers!
FEATURED ARTIST
Foo Fighters
While he was drumming with Nirvana, Dave Grohl was recording original songs at home that never received public release. Those tapes would become the foundation of Foo Fighters, the band he formed in 1995, after the death of Kurt Cobain. Like Nirvana, Foo Fighters melded loud, heavy guitars with pretty melodies and mixed punk sensibilities with a sharp sense of pop songwriting.
