I love this song (name came up) but I couldn't hear anything. :(
:redface: Me Bad!!! I tried again and it still didn't work. Then I turned up the volume on my speakers. I guess when I was cleaning around my desk, I must have turned all the way down. Guess I shouldn't clean again.
Ala, I love this version of the song (now that I can hear it.)
Things have finally settled down a bit and I can spend a little time doing things that I like..like stumping Sudo with TV themes like THIS one. I thought of it last night while watching one of the cast of this mid-eighties one season wonder win a Golden Globe.
I'll continue with the Manhattan Transfer...and then let them to rest for all those who are just tolerating me here. :unsure:
This one HERE is a fun one... this arrangement is wild and all over the place. Amazing what they can do with those voices of theirs!
And last but surely not least... this one has got to be my favourite. It is a beautiful work of art. It's an old standard recorded a million times but this is an amazing rendition. It's called A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square. It sounds a bit dated... but bare with it... it's amazing what chords they achieve. Not conventional by any means.
Wasway, good to see you back and I hope it ain't cause I left. :)
Sushi and Abi, y'all got my PM hopefully. And I was a good girl and bit my tongue and told no one as well.
I miss y'all and should be able to play again soon I pray.
I must tell you of my new boneheaded thing though. I just accidentally called 911 and hung up not realizing it had gone through. But it became known when #2 was in a meeting and in walked 3 people telling him they thought I was in trouble and the police were outside of the office. Now of course it has traveled all about the building and even #1 had a smile on his face as I just passed him in the hall. Good lord!
Been sitting here pondering what will be my musical post??? hmmmmm???? <_<
Then I looked outside and saw the most dreary day of the year so far... it's raining, it's snowing, it's gloomy, it's just plain YIKKKY :(
So I got an idea
Rain songs... there are a million of them ... but I picked two for your listening pleasure!
This first one... is certainly bluesy... just like the weather outside is making me feel. This artist HERE needs no introduction I feel. She certainly was in a league all of her own.
Ohh... Good songs! That first one.. Stormy Weather. Now that was Marie Osmond wasn't it? I could tell by the smooth voice. And WASWAY'S BACK!!!! And guess what folks? He's stumped me like he said he would. I want to say, "Curses! Foiled again!". 'Ya know, though.. those 80's TV themes were like Southeners living in Memphis... they all sound alike . Uh, it wasn't Cagney and Lacey now was it??
Ok.. since everyone's been asking and so anxious about the one I posted... the male actor was Robert Mitchum.
Welcome back Kathy!! Even though, you said that you can't play yet, it's still good to see your shining face around.
Ala
Like your choice of songs. Could have used them LAST night when it was raining here.
Does anybody have any songs about a cold night (it's supposed to be cold tonight), while sleeping alone? That sounds like a blues song, if I ever heard one.
Sudo...You have such the sharp ear there sir!! Marie Osmond...so close...it was actually Blondie!
Moony...
Glad you are enjoying the music. And I must say...I'm having so much fun!!
Ok...a request... yeehah...MY FIRST!! :D
Yes, it's cold here too! Snow, wind, rain...just all round yukkie!!
I found a few COLD songs for you... and the funny thing...they were both written and sung by Canucks! Go figure I guess they know something about living in the cold I guess.
This song HERE is called 10 Degrees and Getting Colder. It's sung by a very famous Canadian Icon. He's been around forever and has written some of the most beautiful ballads. I could go on and on and on. Don't get me started This song is a very early Lightfoot song. My favourites were his early recordings. 1960's and '70's. Gordon Lightfoot was born and raised in Orillia, Ontario.
This next lady HERE is amazing. Joni Mitchell. She is a legend. The little girl with the whispey voice from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She is a true musician ~ though these days she spends her days painting and enjoying her grandchildren. Her music stands on its own. She is said to have her own guitar tunings ... up to 12 different ones. She said she used to fool around 'til she found the sound she liked.
Quite a lady.
oh...this recording has a few glitches in it...so don't think it's your PC .. sowwy.
Howdy All !!! It's been a while since I've posted anything, I was beginning to wonder if I'd remember how to pull this off, but I still have my notes !! :)
Here's an old favourite of mine done back in the 80's, title and who is the artist, please???
Hey Cowgirl, your tune buy one of the old Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith and Traffic guys was a great. Do you remember THIS one? Its my favorite by him.
HERE Is one from the age of Nixon that brings back fond memories of days of future past. Anyone remember this one hit wonder's band?
Here is a Freebee. This is the rarely heard long version of this TV theme.
Ok...the first one... is Elton of course...but never was an Elton fan. He was the rage when I was in high school, but I couldn't get past the glasses and the shoes. That was me...just more of a country bumpkin' I guess. And the second well...I'm lost. :blink:
Wasway... the first one you played... was referring to Cowgirl's post ... so I'm assuming it was a Genesis song.
The second one... have no clue
The third one was a gimme. I really thought that show was funny. I'll never forget the episode where there was a bomb threat in the building (so they thought) but it was in the radio tower. They had sent the two DJ's to the tower so they could continue their programs... anyhow...the police run out to save them from the exploding bomb...and blond guy DJ (can't remember his name at this moment) panicked and thought the phone police were after him because he had smashed the telephone there to smitherenes 'cause he missed putting in his off-track bet with his bookie. I don't know... but it struck me so funny... PHONE POLICE... :lol:

Wasway, I don't have a clue. The theme doesn't sound familiar to me.
Ala, you're doing great posting tunes (I can even here them now that I've swarn off of cleaning around my desk.) Love the Nightingale song.

OK...this next one is an exciting one for me. This lady HERE I saw last summer at the Montréal Jazz Festival. She is from Texas and has more love and passion in her music than I can express. Her name is Ruthie Foster. When I saw her perform... I think I had a bit of a musical euphoric experience
. I walked away changed forever.
I know... I'm a strange one! :blink:

wasway's clip does sound a little like the C&L theme (rock, lots of sax), but I don't think that's it. I don't know what it IS, though.

It's not "Cagney & Lacey."
I'm guessing that wasway's Golden Globes clue refers to Geena Davis of "Commander in Chief."
That would make this the theme of one of the funniest shows ever that never got the attention that it deserved.
"Buffalo Bill"

This one will be history because of the subject, although not old enough to be nostalgia. HERE
This one just because. HERE
Instead of catching up and commenting (although Moon Girl and her speakers made me roar) I'm just going to post these and hope okay by y'all. :)

I don't know the title, but it sounds an awful lot like Bob Stanley ("Acts 29").

Cowgirl,
Nice to have you Back In The High Life again...
wowza...beautiful song... had this album...
I can see why you would love this song... with its beautiful mandolin instrumentals
This guy sang with Genesis... and put out this album while still with the band...
Also, I thought it was cool that James Taylor does background vocals on this song... listen and you'll hear his distinguishable voice...
Actually the whole album is fantastic.. i must get this one back in my library!
Thanks Cowgirl...it was so beautiful to hear.
OH... George... you weren't serious were you? I don't mean to sound insulting.. I was just thinking maybe you were making a joke.
