Classical Time

Starting todays ramblings on a question.....Advertising, how powerful is it? I ask this (I know I'm sad)..... only as last night at work I was in a classical mood for music and played it all night long which I'll talk about later....Anyway where was I, oh yeh advertising / classical music, they are linked honest just bear with me for a moment.......(have I spelt bear right then or should it be bare....oh I don't know)........anyway as I was saying..... I was listening to an album called classics of the millennium when Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker - Dance of the Reed Flutes came on and all I could think of was Cadburys Fruit and Nut....The reason, for those of you too young to remember or those of you who live away from the UK....Years ago and I mean many,many years ago when I was still in school (that shows you how long ago) Cadbury's did an advert for fruit and nut using the Nutcracker Suite music with lyrics sung by Frank Muir and every time I hear that same piece of music I always think of chocolate....Cadbury's Fruit & Nut...........Now that's what I call powerful advertising........40 odd years later and I can still recall......WOW....Everyones a fruit and nut case..... crazy for those Cadbury's nuts and raisins.....anyone of a certain age will know what I'm going on about I'm sure.......So as I was saying earlier, I was in a classical mood and after playing the millennium classic I then played an album by the classical guitarist John Williams which I'm afraid to say I only bought for one track which was The Harmonious Blacksmith, which I must add here is the most fantastic classical guitar track ever...that was until I've just listened to the whole album ..... and what a cracking album it is....I just can't stop playing the first track which is just fantastic and is called Fantasie No 7........Who it is composed by I've no idea so a little searching on Google is needed.....Then again why don't I just look at the sleeve notes....Which I have just done and found that it is composed by a chap called John Downland whom I've never heard of before. Certainly never in the top ten but what brilliant music.
