Thanks, IBC! Nokia itself ripped off the tune from Spanish guitarist and composer Francisco Tárrega. You can hear the original here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKusTj2LiPE .
Wish I could play the guitar, Anika Hutschreuther makes it look so easy, doesn’t she?
Just keyboard, really. I learnt trombone in school, not really my choice, but all the cool instruments in the orchestra were already covered by other kids. I was never very good at it, my arms were too short, apart from anything else 🙂 . I have a guitar hanging on my wall, and a local instrument, called ‘timple’ (kinda like a ukelele), on a top shelf, both gathering dust. From time to time I make a desultory effort to learn a bit more on one or the other, but I lack the concentration these days. I used to sing tenor in a couple of choirs, but my upper range has gone the way of all mortal flesh now.
All the music I publish here is ‘faked’ on the computer. It would be wonderful if some genius could integrate a speech-production program with the music software, then I could put words on the vocal stuff. I’m also on YouTube now, and have just today put my first piece on SoundCloud, but I don’t do a whole lot to publicize my ‘work’: it’s not like I need a job, or commissions or anything (not that I’d refuse the latter, if offered!).
I’ve included a link to your site under the ‘Visual Artists’ rubric.
This is fun, cool reinterpretation! Reminds me of my ex, she had that Nokia ring tone and was very proud of it:)

Wish I could play the guitar, too, but I have a permanently broken wrist, so I gave up on that. How many instruments can you play?

Sounds like you’re having fun making your music without many expectations. Great way to enjoy life 🙂
Thanks a lot for the link, I’m working on linking back to you, too!
I made it! It’s at the bottom of my site, under Links 🙂
Great! I checked it out, and it works.
