Also it makes me feel less cheatery about playing what i want to play later instead of being more bound by the actual prompt. So thanks!

@Turbo will be the judge of your cheatery as karma for calling out his cheatery.

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Dictionaries are novels and/or poems now?

Leave him be. The man has already been murdered by a crumhorn, for God's sake.

People need to look at the book I linked, check out their King Gizzard credits and/or someone should play Jethro Tull.

.

Also not a novel or poem but closer than a dictionary. I’d also say high guy opens book and likes words does not imply any indirect influence, but . ALSO I’m mostly kidding.

Yeah at this point I don’t care and I’m not keeping score. One of you will have a perfect run. I had tons of options today, this challenge is easy. I wanted to play this and it was close enough.

Some days I think my research is pointless and then I see that someone wrote a whole book on shawms.

Which was useful in this challenge thread. Can't even say that about my book...

I think I saw something about Crimson King including a crumhorn but I couldn’t confirm it. I also don’t have it and couldn’t find the CD. Throwing it out there if someone wants to look into it further.

 

[Turbo]

This article suggests it in the first paragraph but there is nothing specific and I couldn’t find more to back it. Might just be a generic crack at progrock.

How King Crimson’s masterpiece led a generation to ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’

‘In the Court of the Crimson King’ was released 50 years ago – Pink Floyd, Yes and Genesis could never have sounded like they did without it, says Simon Hardeman

Oh man, I didn't even think to look at what's on all the King Gizzard albums! Either way I've got some good bass banjo and crumhorns lined up after work.

Its a shame, apparently International Crumhorn Day was October 3rd, so we are all too late in our celebration, or glass half full, we are loaded on options for next year.

International Crumhorn Day

Exploring historical wind instruments, the crumhorn's unique sound adds a distinctive touch to musical compositions.

Man, another reason I wasn’t aware of for me to dislike Jethro Tull.

14-Oct On this day in 2018, Steppenwolf play their final show, a concert in Baxter Springs, Kansas. It was not announced that this was their last performance until November 22nd, 2019, when band leader John Kay made it official. Besides Kay, none of the musicians who appeared that day were members of the group's hit-making line-up. Expert: Play an album by a band who picked their name from a novel/poem.

Somebody had to do it. Famously named after the steam powered dildo in Naked Lunch.

Point Total:



Steely Dan ~ Aja

Man, another reason I wasn’t aware of for me to dislike Jethro Tull.

The Jethro Tull is more a joke. On their first album Ian Anderson plays a Claghorn:

featured use of the "claghorn", a hybrid instrument invented by Jeffrey Hammond which combined the body of a recorder, the bell of a toy trumpet and the mouthpiece of a saxophone. Anderson also claims to have invented the instrument.

 

[Turbo]

For the record I did check my King Gizzard records yesterday, but neither of the two I have use those forsaken instruments of hell.

Primus - Tales From The Punchbowl
Les coming through with the Bass Banjo on this one.

If people still need an option they should just stare into eternity and contemplate geometry.

Richard Thompson - Rumor and Sigh

Damn, a twofer!

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

If anyone's looking for a crumhorn, look into a more popular album Richard Thompson was a part of.

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Damn, a twofer!

This has been a lot of fun digging around for what I have with these obscure instruments!

I've also learned that Discogs search syntax is difficult. Like if you search for "Banjo Bass" it will still give you Banjo OR Bass. Not sure how to link two words together / get a specific search criteria for multiple words together.
