Ancients => Got caught-up in the Hoopla => bought a fricken Vandal Horse!!

I used to listen to a lot of heavy metal when I was younger, but I've mellowed out. I like peaceful music now. Here's a guy who writes original compositions in ancient modes and plays them on a replica Greek lyre...

huh? ... man JA, you must look pretty coin-ish, listening to that tune and wearing your spandex loser suit?






... yah, that never gets old, eh? (I love ya, brother)

 

Well, granted that's a bit dull, but it is interesting to hear what the ancients' music might have sounded like. They didn't notate it, but we do know what modes they used, and we do have their instruments in museums, which can be replicated. We've seen plenty of those lyres on coins - I think it's interesting to actually hear one and watch it being played.

 

listen mister!! => do I need to post another song?!!

there'll be no lutes or grinch-like instruments on my threads, my friend!!

zero

 

Rock on, Steve.

 

arrgghhh => listening to your tune made me want to order more sushi!!

 

Ahahaha => that's awesome, JA ...

Wow, it's great to see that your son is advancing with his acordian studies (see, I told you earlier that those Nabobnean Queen coins are a bad influence!!)

 

Nice addition, Steve.

 

thanks, chick-dawg

... yah, sorry that I kinda crowded your Vandals' thread (I must admit that I've always kinda looked at their coins, but your thread made me hunt and then pull the trigger)

... ummm, so actually you owe me some cash?!



Cheers

 

Lol, isnt a problem. Your is better then mine anyways

 

they're all good!!

cheers

 

I still like your Vandalic/imitative/whatever cross coin Mat Even though I wouldn't be able to attribute them I still want a couple of them similar to your coin or in better shape (don't have any so far).

 

Steve, your coin is growing on me, it does have a horse of coarse. ya, i think i like it. very nice.

 

=> it must be the lil' vandal in ya?

 

It must be Steve, how are you and the Misses and pups doing way up North, is the ground covered in snow. one day Summer stopped and the rains came.

 

sunny and beautiful this aftenoon (-6 celsius, so snow could be landing and staying any day now, but so far, so good => I am still able to ride my mountain bike) ...

NOTE => Halloween is always considered "the snowiest day of the year" (run children, run!!)

... hopefully, this year will be clear as a bell for the lil' Draculas!! (nuthin' wrecks a costume more than a down-jacket over-top and a crying face underneath)

 

The pumpkin looks nice. And this is one strange thread. Pumpkin, music and coins?

I think we influence each other too much when it comes to purchasing coins. Would be much better if we just lend the coin to each other for a few months.

 

=> awesome idea => lets get "library cards" and we can check-out each other's stuff every now and then ...

Ummm, I'm hoping to get my hands on AncientJoe's stuff (eh-heh-heh, I promise that I'll give it back)

 

And I promise I'll give back your Charles the Bald and your new Vandal
