I did not James Galaway would play classical music.


Song of the seashore.

We used to save pocket money and bought their records.:hugesmile:

Haven't heard him before, he sounds kind of like a Southern Dylan. I'd post one of his songs in response, but alas, his music is banned from YouTube by his record label.

This inferior cover will have to do. :(

The melodies/harmonies in that music sound very Eastern. I can't explain why as I don't have the knowledge or vocabulary, lol.

Spot on, BB_Eye.
This is a Japanese song everybody learns at elementary school.

I remember some years ago, I took my home town's friend's niece to a hotel who was going back to Japan after finished studying in London as she wanted to have traditional afternoon tea.

Somebody was playing piano, the type of soft melodies.
Then suddenly he started play international well known songs, like "Tie me kangaroo down sport" for Australian. The hotel must had many overseas visitors like us.

Then he started play this "A song of sea shore". It was totally unexpected specially here in a foreign country far away from home, this song made us ended in tears. We were having champaign so it did not help. We were totally emotional.

It was really embarrassing for both of us but we would never forget the day and this song.

JJ Cale is quality. Very laid back style and never allows for any self indulgence in his songs, with the average length of a composition being about 3 mins. Gets in, lays the track and done. No messing about with him.

Wombai said she liked this.:)

I'm sure I've posted this a few times already, but I just love it so much.

This is the song that first introduced me to them, and it was my mother who did it because she used to dance to this album during her university days. God, we have such crap music now compared to stuff like this, or maybe I'm just a big hippie at heart!

For Stacey

You are a flower child!

Yep, was born in the wrong era, that's for sure. Get extremely jealous of my mother when she names the bands she was big into at the time.

I'm jealous for the fact you have cool parents. My mum and dad only ever listened to motown with a casual interest in the Beatles. Since then, they probably only buy one CD a year. Even the Beach Boys is 'noisy' to them.

I used to try and get them interested in other stuff, even from their own era, but I think the older you get, the more you tend to just to stick to what you've always liked. I think that explains why there are a lot of generation gaps when it comes to music.

Well, I wouldn't say cool but I got a healthy mix of influences from them. My mother loves classical, singer/songwriters and alternative stuff, while my father was more into rhythm and beats, like Abba and the Bee Gees lol. So yeah, not a bad mix of cool and kinda kitschy stuff.

It's weird the affect being away from home can have on people. And that just goes for students moving to the other end of the country. Nevermind 6000 miles away. I'm sure you wouldn't have been half as embarrassed as the Australians in the room for having to hear Rolf Harris. ;)

Some homegrown music here.

I am sure Angie7 would have love it.:blush:

I will come back tomorrow (today!):xyxwave:

Blue Tango

While the sun is out I will finish lawn, see you soon.:spin:

Perry Como
 

I heard my husband was singing Perry Como "And I love you so"
He seemed to be feeling well today. :)
So I played many his favorite songs for him.

Its impossible

Papa Loves Mambo

Baby Elephant Walk

That's really thoughtful. I've not been doing much listening today if you don't count my laptop, except for a live performance of this on the radio.
