I Hear American Singing (Leaves Of Grass)-- Walt Whitman-- Read by Bob Dylan

[paulin77]

I recognize the music in the background, but only vaguely. What is it (it's pretty). Is it a military morning wake up call with a trumpeter?

Some one please help me figure out what that music is!

@paulin77 - Fanfare for the Common Man, i think

[paulin77]

@chasefukuoka61 - Yes, that's it. Thanks! I had it already in iTunes, just couldn't place it. Beautiful.

@paulin77 - Emerson, Lake and Palmer did a nice jazzy version of it which you can find here on youtube if you're interested. Search for "ELP - Fanfare for the Common Man"

[paulin77]

@chasefukuoka61 - yes, not too bad. But a stick to the original. I was never that fond of ELP (perhaps I was too young, and now I'm too old ;-)

@paulin77 - LOL, i hear you.

@chasefukuoka61 - Greatful Dead is another group I never "understood" (I read your essay about them on your web page). But that's what so great about music – in some areas your taste overlap with another person, and in another area it doesn't at all. And still there is fantastic, innovative music created. For example I have become a fan of Kings of Leon, thanks to my children (at first I didn't like them that much, but now I like them a lot!). And Muse, and . . . (I love music)
