MUSIC ... what do you like?

Next up, its Weddings, Parties, Anything and 'Fathers Day'

 

Goats Don't Shave - The Evictions (cracking track, a bit of a jumpy recording this one, sorry):

 

Amanda McBroom, The Rose (sorry, but Bette Middler can't hold a candle to this lady):

 

Am I showing my age yet? And did I warn you that my taste in music is wildly varied?


Oysterband - Blood Wedding:

 

Another one of my favourite bands, The Saw Doctors:

 

And another cracker from the Saws (please tell me to go forth and multiply if you are all getting sick of this )

 

To change the theme a little bit .

We can't let this song go without a mention.

It's a year ago, this week, that Etta James died.

She had a big hit with this song which was originally written in 1941 for the Glenn Miller Ochestra for the film 'Orchestra Wives'.

The person who compiled the photos for this clip made a mistake and said it was Ella Fitzgerald singing it but he did apologise afterwards.

 

And here's a tribute to her by Beyonce

 

Then there is the wonderful Mr Knopfler - Going Home (from Local Hero)



Or Private Investigations:



And who could forget Telegraph Road:

 

That whole album is a belter - I have that, and two of their other albums not only on CD but also as MP3 for the car etc.

 

And lastly for tonight, something completely different, Dvorak Symphony No.9 "From The New World" (I especially love the piece of this more commonly known as Going Home, or even more commonly known as the Hovis ad music):
