September In The Rain-Peggy Lee
Actually, October In The Rain
Non si fa il proprio dovere perchè qualcuno ci dica grazie, lo si fa per principio, per se stessi, per la propria dignità. Oriana Fallaci
Be wary of people who tend to glorify the past, underestimate the present, and demonize the future.
Im going through an electro pop trip at present, a craze of the 80's, and enjoying it. It will not last long I think and soon be back to my folk soft Jazz and classic..........(I think
)
And this came a little later by Mike oldfield, and surely its my one of my top favourites, nothing too complex, flowing great combination of electronics, guitar and voices.

Something went wrong it was a nice picture...

A love song from the same region. Polyphonic Epirotan -(wolf singing). The lyrics are colliqual greeks i tried to translate not succesfully enough.
(lyrics)
Τι κακό έκανα ο καημένος και με λένε όλοι φονιά.
Μην να σκότωσα κανέναν, μην αφίλησα καμμιά.
Στην απάνω γειτονίτσα αγαπώ και ΄γω μιά νιά.
Το όνομα της δεν γνωρίζω, Τούρκα να ΄ναι γιά Ρωμιά
What harm did the poor and say all killer.
Does anyone killed, lest some kissed.
In the upper small neighborhood I love a young
to name her do not know, is she a Turk or is she a Roman.http://youtu.be/Z0ugxfNKLpA
Everything goes fine this evening...(with my posts!).

Black Coffee:

K.D. Lang also did a great cover of this song. I really love,love,love her voice and the way she interprets a song. I may even like her version of Black Coffee better than Peggy Lee's.
She can sing anything, and has, blues/jazz, country, rock, and pop. She does them all superlatively well.

For a change of pace, Canadians rapping about life in rural Ontario. NSFW because of all the swearing.

This is new to me Aberdeen. Very nice. Do you understand Gaelic?
The Canadian Rap isn't coming up for me. I do have a bit of a liking for some Rap, despite all the cursing. Maybe it's because I've been a captive audience in the car! LOL Some of Eminem is god. I used to hear a lot of LL Kool J too. At least he didn't talk about beating up women and doing drugs; it was all about his prowess with the ladies.
No, I don't speak any Gaelic - the Ontario educational system managed to wipe it out in past generations. It's still spoken in the Cape Breton area of Nova Scotia, which is where the Rankins are from. Most of the songs they recorded are in English, in order to reach a wider audience. But I like listening to the language of my ancestors, even though I don't understand it. Other artists from Cape Briton who've recorded in both English and Gaelic are Mary Jane Lamont and Wendy MacIssacs.

I think I've fixed the glitch in the Canadian rap music url. If you still can't open it, just go to Youtube and do a search for a song called "Out For A Rip". You may not like the language, but you have to see the video if you've never watched people dancing with chainsaws before. Of course, you'd probably have to live in rural Ontario or some similar place in order to understand the iconic role of chainsaws in the lives of people who still partly depend on wood stoves for heat in a cold climate.
