All through the month of October 2012 - "Music" will be a theme here on Audioboo. There been great enthusiasm for the prospect.

To help us connect with each other under the banner of "Music"- #octaver is the hashtag (courtesy of Slandi).

Here is a suggested structure of topics for each day:

Day 1: "Music I like now..."
Day 2: "The earliest music I remember liking ..."
Day 3: "Music with a story..."
Day 4: "Musicians I've known or loved..."
Day 5: "Music that reminds me of a place..."
Day 6: "Music to go with go with food..."
Day 7: "Music I hope to love..."

It be great if someone else would suggest topics for Days 8-14 please.

Suggesting a way forward that works from the bottom up & doesn't depend on staff from @audioboo changing their plans

The year was 1965 and the song I first remember--from the radio--was sung by The Beach Boys.

A bit of a rushed 1st day for Octaver, but the month will get better and better.
#Octaver

For the 2nd day of Octaver the theme is "earliest music i liked".

#Octaver

I read Bernie Goldbach's posting on G+, followed a link to omaniblog on Audioboo. I'm picking up on the challenge to do daily Audioboos for the next few days on the topic of Music, using the tag #octaver
So, today's Audioboo is "Music I like now".

Hello all, I figured I would take a stab at adding some items for next week's #octaver. If there are any you feel really wouldn't work let me know and we can work them through.

Day 8: "Your favourite instrument?"
Day 9: "Your favourite concert?"
Day 10: "Your favourite musical or music-themed movie."
Day 11: "Your favourite music in the car?"
Day 12: "What instrument you played in school if any or would like to learn today?"
Day 13: "Favourite cover version of a song/musical piece?"
Day 14: "Favourite musical find CD/LP/Rarity?"

I'll have more information later this evening in the description.

I was listening again to my boo and realized that the microphone dynamics are horrible, sorry about that, I hope to do better with tomorrow's episode.

Day One of the Music "Festival" on Audioboo which we call #Octaver.
Paul O'Mahony @omaniblog + his daughter #omanidot on the #schoolrun...

Opera is the genre... Verdi the composer... "La Traviata" the drama... The scene is Act 2.

You hear a conversation that explains all...

Day 2 of Music "festival" on Audioboo.
What's the earliest music I loved?
You hear me mention the theme music of radio shows I tuned in to as a young boy:
Jimmy Clitheroe... Dick Barton... (forgot to include "Two-way Family Favourites") and especially "The Kennedys of Castleross"...
Music featured here:
Having often spoken about my first record, this is the one that formed the starting point of my musical journey during the 1960s - the first record I ever bought... (As teenager, I went on to become a big record collector.)
Until now I thought this came from 1957... It was first released in October 1961 - 51 years ago.
The Leon Young String Chorale were the backing group in the original recording (according to Wikipedia).
Marvellous to hear this 2007 recording by the guy who composed the clarinet piece named after his daughter "Jenny".
Maybe music prolongs active life?
Recognise it?
Andy Williams, The Drifters recorded it too...
Songfacts (Anne Wade) says it was originally called "Jenny" & had a name change when it became theme music for BBC TV series "Stranger on the Shore".
First UK music to top the US charts...
Good old Bernard Stanley Bilk of Somerset England "Acker Bilk" meaning "friend" Bilk (28 January 1929 -)
His original group was the Paramount Jazz Band...
To clarify: this was the first British single to top the US Bilboard Hot 100 Singles Chart - Vera Lynn "Auf Wiedersehn Sweetheart" topped US Billboard Chart in 1952).

By Omaniblog

The theme is "Music with a Story".
This provoked me to realise that all music tells a story...
Janacek the composer - Glagolitic Mass the story

For day 3 ... Music that tells a story .....
#Octaver

It's day 4 so it must be "Musicians I've known or loved..."
This includeds a part of Foggy Notion by The Velvet Underground from Polydor (ASIN: B000008LZA)
#Octaver

A few examples of the music I first heard and appreciated, growing up as a young lad in Scotland.
Tracks are :- Jock o'Hazeldeane (instremental backing ) by a great guitarist - lesjcheetham ... http://www.youtube.com/user/lesjcheetham/videos?view=0

These are my mountains by Kenneth McKellar.
Medley of songs by Andy Stewart.
