Hello

[Roehre]

Welcome from me too,

[Gordon]

Hate to disappoint but:

1. I don't like jazz. Much.
2. unsung Italian composers? mmm .. I don't go much further than Luigi Nono.
3. I'm a Chelsea fan. Can't stand Italian football!

Nobody's perfect! Except you will occasionally find one or to here that get close!!

Oh, and welcome aboard from me too!!

[Radio64]

thanks one and all.

I'm very open on the subject of jazz - just never found the right.....thing. Any suggestions?

millions

thought so.
Ask a silly question...

Actually I was wondering why you don't call it The BBC Radio 3 forum.... perhaps you're not allowed?

Hello '64. And welcome from me. Well if we called ourselves the BBC Radio 3 forum, it might suggest we were part of the BBC. Historically, a lot of us did post on the old BBC messageboards, but they were closed three years ago.

I knew she'd been given some award, but, a sainthood???

Triffic!

Fair enough..makes sense.
Thanks.

Welcome Radio64.

You're not a fan of neglected British composers by any chance are you ?

Hello - new here but not new to Radio 3. Very pleased to have found this forum.

Out of interest, how did you find this forum? I recently found it when the January schedule changes were announced and I googled in search of media coverage and comment, and stumbled upon this Forum!

EdgeleyRob ... no, not really but I'm always one for supporting the underdog

Honoured Guest: I think I just googled Radio 3 forum.

Glad to see there are quite a few folks who are active on't.

I knew that was a trick question.

Greetings from across the border (Italy is only about 6 miles away from me as the crow flies although you'd have to climb to over 2,500 metres to get to it. My suggestion on jazz is to read Stanfordian's posts on "What are you listening to now?" in 'Talking About Music' - and then try and copy his listening. I don't think that he minds - and doing so has certainly widened my musical horizons.

Welcome from me too. Many message boards can be unpleasant and vulgar places. Fortunately here on the FoR3 forum you will find fascinating and refined discussion.

....Raaaaaaaaather.... some of the contributions are like a feather on an ornate hat....and some are purified by fine mesh of some of the finest education in the land, but others less so....I like to think mine make no fine distinctions; being only refined by a #40 mesh....I think all would agree....innit

Welcome R64
