Every now and then I will search for "John Henry" on the internet. I can never find a good link. Just by chance I randomly decided I wanted to listen to some good, classical, upbeat music, and "John Henry" came to my mind first. Thank You for posting such a unique and beautiful piece of music.

@AHRATHORE you are most welcome. :)

@AHRATHORE this is awkward... Aaron Copland was born in 1900.... and was a 20th Century composer.... and his pieces are 20th century pieces, not classical haha

@ashsmithers this is awkward... "classical music is used colloquially to describe a variety of Western musical styles from the ninth century to the present", when most people talk about classical music they aren't referring to the Classical Era. Or are you suggesting that Bach is not classical music?

[ashsmithers]

@fuhgedaboudit10 as a matter of fact, yes, because J.S Bach was a composer from the Baroque period :)

He could have said "I wanted to listen to some good, classic* 20th century*, upbeat music."

Saying "classical" suggested that he meant from the classical era, 1750 to 1830.
