Favourite Sogs

When I was a kid, the lad next door used to play All Night Long and Since You've Been Gone over and over again, they're both good songs and I can listen to them now, but hearing them twenty times a day for a year took the lustre off them for a few years. Will You is a lovely song, was from a film I think, you don't hear it played much even on the 80's stations which is a shame.

If anyone is in London on any given Monday and fancies a little bit of classical music I can highly recommend the lunchtime concerts at Wigmore Hall.

Watched a documentary on Fleetwood Mac the other day, never realised that they made all that music while hating each others guts.
 
Two guys here are planing a back to back Techno/Northern Soul night. We predict an influx from neighbouring islands like has never been seen before. The power of music, huh?
I played Will You and had forgotten how good it is. And that led me on to Candy Dulfur, a saxophonist. Love her CD, Saxuality.
 
I believe Will You was from the film " Breaking Glass".
We had neighbours once that were addicted to Simply Red and hearing some of those songs repeatedly rather put you off, they also went through an Abba phase.
I saw that documentary on Fleetwood Mac, quite an insight, amazing how they produced anything
 
Tallis isn't the only one as I suspect you know Icemaiden. Yesterday's composer was Francisco Lopez Capillas (c1608-1674) and the music a Motet and Parody Mass based on the Motet. I had never heard of a Parody Mass, and it isn't anything to do with Black Magic or anything like, but a full mass (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo etc) which musically is based on, in this case, the motet. The tutor id tell us of an occasion when he ad some friends sang a parody mass at another friend's wedding. It was based on the music of a French Chanson entitled "I don't have enough money to pay the prostitute with whom I wake up in the morning" ...

BTW it was a fantastic day and my voice actually improved the more I sang, so no more croaks!
 
And to think that I'd laugh when the bride & groom asked us to sing "Dear Lord and father of mankind, forgive our foolish ways"... You've rather put that into perspective :o
