Comments (22)I see there is a discussion about copyright. I am an artist as well as a knitter and a while back I learned about copyright. Many artists who sell their paintings, sculptures etc. copyright them so other artists can't make forgeries and sell them as original works of art. However I can reproduce a painting as long as I write study and the artists name on the back of my canvas and don't sell it as an original work of art. Copyright laws are there to protect others from making a profit off of someone else's work and designs. Therefore if you are copying a copyrighted anything and selling it you can be prosecuted, but if you are copying it for your own use and not for profit the chances of you being prosecuted are slim to none. An artist will take pride in the fact that others want to copy their work they just don't want them to profit from the hard work they put in to produce that original....See MorePiano Afghan
Comments (21)I bought the Annie's Attic pattern for a piano afghan and I must say I have had a hard time understanding the pattern.I'm no slouch when it comes to crocheting.I've been doing it for the past 50 years. If anyone has an easier pattern for a piano afghan I and my grandaughter would just love to have a copy or buy a copy.

Comments (23)Interesting thread - Martin - we are about to start on Grace Notes when we have finished reading The Dubliners - just now getting in touch with 'The Dead '. James Joyce, a gifted musician himself introduces so many musical allusions in the series of stories particularly 'The Dead' I have very little musical knowledge - apart from muusical appreciation - and I would love to understand fully David Mosley's essay ' Music and Allusion in 'The Dead' - maybe a musician amongst us would care to comment. '..although she sang very rapidly she did not miss even the smallest grace notes (from The Dead) "If he had not become a writer, there is a very good chance that James Joyce would still have made a name for himself by pursuing a career as a vocal performer. In 1904 he even shared the stage with the great opera singer and recital artist, John McCormack; and later on in life, after he had established himself as an author, he tirelessly promoted the singing career of his fellow Irishman and tenor, John Sullivan. The close relationship between James Joyce and music has long been recognized by his readers, critics, and biographers. Joyce, like his father, was both an excellent singer (with a sweet tenor voice) and an accomplished pianist with an encyclopedic mastery of music of every type and genre, rivaling his vast knowledge of world literature. As a writer, he nevertheless incorporated music into all his works in increasingly complex ways, especially in Chamber Music, Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake."

Comments (20)"Elmer, playing in a handbell choir isn’t playing a musical instrument?" Sorry no, not in my opinion. In learning to play a musical instrument, there are underlying things to know that any beginner must grasp, essential to being able to understand and apply putting the pieces together. -Scales and keys, major and minor -The basic relationships between different chords and progressions, in any key -Time signatures, types of notes and beats (this is where your syncopation-challenged person came up short) -A few other miscellaneous things. None of which require knowing how to read music notation to understand but it's an easy and traditional way. Looking at a keyboard can also be done (whether that's the intended instrument or not) and all basics but rhythm can be seen and learned. Part of developing proficiency, as I mentioned above, is learning the puzzle pieces and then applying them independently and apart from what was taught. The Happy Birthday example. A person who has this basic knowledge from learning an instrument will HEAR these elements in the music of others they listen to. They'll have insights about what they listen to that others without the basic training won't. It opens a wonderful world that too many miss out on. I suspect none of these are needed or done in playing a bell....See Morethreejsmom

16 years agofinished the afghan - used the music notes blocks although I liked the afghan pattern I got from Sheila Joyce - just didn't like that you needed to only work from one side; figured it would take forever with all the stopping/starting
will give it this weekend and only finished it last night
