Showing results for "The Letters" in Music

Red Letter Days follows the life of a musician growing up, on the road, and following his dream of being a successful musician. Taken from journal entries from 1990–2000, the book is a collection of short vignettes about Pryor’s experiences crisscrossing the country (and the continents) with the band and the cast of characters he meets along the way told via first-person accounts of his most memorable moments.

Set against the music we know and love, Mozart, Beethoven, and many more come alive through their correspondence. Poignant, funny, revealing, informative and so often direct and honest, these letters offer a fascinating insight into the personalities that created our Western musical tradition.

Leonard Bernstein was a charismatic and versatile musician - a brilliant conductor who attained international super-star status, and a gifted composer of Broadway musicals ( West Side Story), symphonies ( Age of Anxiety), choral works ( Chichester Psalms), film scores ( On the Waterfront), and much more. Bernstein was also an enthusiastic letter writer, and this audiobook is the first to present a wide-ranging selection of his correspondence.

John Lennon was a writer as well as a musician. It was entirely natural for him to put pen to paper whenever he had an idea, a thought, a reaction, or a desire to communicate. He lived - and died - in an age before emails and texts. Pen and ink was what he turned to. John wrote letters and postcards all of his life, most of which were funny, informative, campaigning, wise, mad, poetic, anguished, and sometimes heart-breaking. For the first time, John's widow, Yoko Ono, has given permission to publish a collection of his letters.

For 15 years, the Philpotts have been getting under the skin of musical artistes. Picking up on glaring errors in their lyrics or sometimes getting completely the wrong end of the stick (perhaps to irritate things a little further), they totally misunderstand the meaning of "poetic license". Hundreds of missives have landed on the real and virtual doormats of musicians, worldwide. In return, these lyrical legends have exercised their right to reply, correcting and sometimes confirming the authors' summation of what went wrong...or right.

Hi I'm Julian Rose! Welcome to Letters to Bands! A podcast designed to share stories through the lens of a fan! Each guest will share a personal letter to a musician of their choice and as we deep dive into the artist we will end the episode knowing more about the fan's life and story. Letters To Bands is based on a book I started writing about my life in the form of a compilation of letters to bands and artists that I felt shaped me into who I am! Along the writing journey I found myself obsessing over fan culture and etiquette. Though the book is yet to be finished I am grateful to have had...
