What's your music mood today ?

If they understand the double entendres, it's too late to protect them.

 

My favorite double entendres are those little chicken livers wrapped in bacon. :P;)

The only Aaron Copeland composition that I ever really cared for.

Phenomenal and generous concert by the Dire Straits in Nimes, France. Even if it's 1992 it's unbelievable what Mark Knopfler can do and it's beautiful both to see and to hear with high musical quality and exceptional fusion of the whole group:

Having just seen "Bohemian Rhapsody" yesterday, my music mood is for anything by Queen. Great movie. And as a friend of mine said, "hard to believe that concert (Live Aid) was 34 years ago".

I'm With Her covering Vampire Weekend's "Hannah Hunt".

Something hot for the winter evening, my by far favorite take from Woodstock. I don't want to know what these guys smoked before this gig, but anyway they are amazing in their rythm feeling.

That was fun! She seems a bit young and innocent to be recording Fever but then what do I know. I can remember listening to Peggy Lee's rendition back in the 50s. I could have sworn that what is sung here as "Cause I know you're going to treat me right" was "And you know I'm going to treat you right" but the internet says I am wrong. Can't argue with the internet. Or can't win, anyway. I prefer my version. "I light up when you call my name and you know I'm going to treat you right". Yep.

 

I had not heard of Allison Young, I imagine we will hear more.

For Marie Yovanovitch who received a standing ovation when she showed up at Arturo Sandoval's gig at Blues Alley in DC Sunday.

Discovered an amazing voice Yannis Papadopoulos of Beast in black.

 

 

This is by no means as high as he can go (checkout his cover of Nightwish's Ghost love score), the band also do a decent cover of Motorhead's "Killed by death" so he has an enormous range.

Miss Fogarty's Christmas Cake by Robbie O'Connell and cast.

 

 

Danú performed this in Georgetown on Saturday.

 

Miss Fogarty's Christmas Cake

 

As I sat in my window last evening

The letter was brought round to me

A little gilt-edged invitation sayin'

Gilhooley come over to tea

Each Christmas, the Fogartys' sent it

So I went just for old friendships sake

And the first thing they gave me to tackle

Was a slice of Miss Fogarty's cake

 

And there were plums and prunes and cherries

There were citrons and raisins and cinnamon, too

There was nuts, and cloves and berries

And a crust that was nailed on with glue

There were caraway seeds in abundance

Such that work up a fine stomach ache

That could kill a man twice after eating a slice

Of Miss Fogarty's Christmas cake

 

Miss Mulligan wanted to try it

But really it wasn't no use

For we worked in it over an hour

But a piece of it wouldn't come loose

Till Kelly came in with a hatchet

And Murphy came in with a saw

But Miss Fogerty's cake had the power

For to paralyze any man's jaws

 

[And there were plums and prunes and cherries ...]

 

Miss Fogarty proud as a peacock

Kept smiling and talk'n away

Till she tripped over Flanagans brogans

And she spilt the patin in her tea

Aye Gilhooley she says you're not eat'n

Try a little bit more of me cake

Oh no Miss Fogarty says I

Any more and my stomach would break

 

[And there were plums and prunes and cherries ...]

 

Maloney was hit with the colic

O'Donald's a pain in his head

Mc'Naughton lay down on the sofa

And he swore that he wished he was dead

Miss Bailey went into hysterics

And there she did wriggle and shake

And all of us swore they were poisoned

From eating Miss Fogarty's cake

 

[And there were plums and prunes and cherries ...]

 

Yes it would kill a man twice after eating a slice

Of Miss Fogarty's Christmas cake

When nearing the end of the recording sessions for Déjà Vu, Graham Nash told Stephen Stills that they still didn't have an opening track. Many recording acts or producers prefer to start an album with a particularly catchy song, in order to set the mood and encourage listeners who are checking it out for the first time. Stills took two incomplete songs — (one being the song Questions[1] he'd written for and recorded with Buffalo Springfield), and edited them together with parts of a jam session from a few days earlier, to produce one finished piece. -- wikipedia:

by Buffalo Springfield (1968) written by Richie Furay for his wife Nancy to whom he is still married.

Appropriate coronavirus song, although written long before.

 

 

some time ago they sacked their lead singer, the drummer took the mic and they hired a female drummer with a really good voice, so many of their songs are actually 2 drummers in a duet.
