Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Oh yes. The music down the pheasant is wonderful. ;)

Ian (pepecan) So much better, I believe you may actually be a 21st century schizoid man. Pub still sounds the better option though

Maureen (Mews) (mews) | 711 comments Dr Hook - Queen of the Silver Dollar

This one isn't on the greatest hits CD I was listening to last night, but I just found it on youtube (yay). Apparently it was also written by Shel Silverstein.

I think the problem with this song is that it's had so many bad covers :(

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I know all the words to that song. Bit of karaoke anyone?

Naw, I better not. Will take everyone ages to get their dogs out from under the bed and their cats out of the curtains if I start singing.

Lol that sounds like me Patti. A guy from work once asked me to sing the June Carter and Johnny Cash duet "Jackson" with him in Karaoke. My answer was "not unless we want to empty the pub".


Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo) (snibborg) | 8204 comments I've got my iPod back on, WooHoo. Listening to Spectral Mornings by Steve Hackett.


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments I love Steve Hackett.....

Ellie M (elliemcc11) Well apart from hearing the constant noises of diggers, drills and the like (I live on a new development) I last listened to Elvis' Greatest Hits. We have become big fans after going to see the Viva Elvis show in Vegas as part of our honeymoon celebrations. Even to the extent we are booking tickets to his 35th concert celebrations which is touring next year...

In what key?


message 918: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments It varies.

Poor guy came home early. He's not feeling well. Definitely a bug going round the camp.


Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo) (snibborg) | 8204 comments Back to listening to the classical album I started a few days ago. I'm just listening to War Song by Phamie Gow. Does anyone else know of her?

Her classical style is wonderful. I suspect Ignite would like her.

Steve Robinson (steverobinson) | 2926 comments The last tune I played was 'Times like these' by the Foo Fighters on my guitar. An inspirational break.

Have you tried internet radio through iTunes, Janet. There's such a huge choice and most with hardly any interruptions. Some just play the same artist all the time - not that you'd want to listen to the same artist all the time, but you can pick and choose like you would with you own artists CDs according to mood.

No I've not tried that........another thing I haven't done.Smiley I might start a thread of "things you have never done" I could start off by saying I've never downloaded any music & I've never watched Shrek.


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Internet radio is great. You can all listen to Biggles FM on it too!


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Under the sheets - Ellie Goulding.

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Waiting for hubby to go to bed so I can switch the telly off and listen to Andrea Bocelli... been wanting to do that all day... I know, I'm weird...


Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo) (snibborg) | 8204 comments There is absolutely nothing weird about that. Some music is for sharing and some is for personal contemplation. Enjoy Lori.

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Thanks Geoff... Hopefully Question Time will finish in a minute and I can indulge :)

Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo) (snibborg) | 8204 comments The Dream of the Blue Turtles - Sting.

Did you get your indulgence Lori?

message 934: by Vic (new)

Vic Heaney (vic_heaney) | 689 comments While I was doing Vic's Big Walk, there was a lot of debate on my blog about what should be an appropriate them tune. Lots of suggestions of songs with "Walking" or "Walk" in the title. The BBC capped it on the tv report of the walk finish by playing "Walk of Life" over the report.

"End of the Line" would have been almost as apposite.

Nope Geoff... Hubby's snoring was too loud, and I was too much in the mood for cursing my computer !

Christopher Petersen (christopherdavidpetersen) | 68 comments I'm listening to Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Corcovado", sung by Astrid Gilberto.

So I take it that you are a trad jazz man then Chris?

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Sorry to interrupt but Mel needs the widget code thingy so she can link us to her blog. Could you please message her, Geoff? Thanks. You're a sweetie.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Al Stewart - Modern Times

Eye of the Cat is on a different album though. :(

Edit

I meant year of the cat, of course


message 941: by Christopher (new)

Christopher Petersen (christopherdavidpetersen) | 68 comments Hey Geoff,

I'm not what you would call traditional anything (my wife thinks abnormal is a better label for me... sigh), but I do have a couple of jazz favorites I listen to exclusively. I remember my Dad listening to Byrd, Jobin, Gilberto and Getz as a boy, so I guess I learned to love their music through him.

I also love to listen to Jesse Cooke (far different from the artists above) and dare I say publically... gulp... Estaban (I saw him play once. He was amazing).

I wonder if this info make me sound old? :)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Everyone in this thread is stuck in the 70s, Chris. Don't worry about it.


message 943: by Christopher (new)

Christopher Petersen (christopherdavidpetersen) | 68 comments Well, in that case...

I also love to listen to Big Band. I'll be listening to Benny Goodman shortly and well as Vaugh Monroe :)

Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Not my cup of tea but......



Ministry of Sound Sampler Free

I suppose I had better give it a go so I can say I don't like it :)


Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo) (snibborg) | 8204 comments Listening to Songwriter by Justin Hayward at the moment.

Vic Heaney (vic_heaney) | 689 comments Dance The Night Away by The Mavericks.

It's the weekend!


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments Hats -The Blue Nile. I just had to replace my worn out copy. Takes me straight back to late night sessions as a student in Aberdeen - that'll date me. Dance The Night Away might be a tad more uplifting though!
