It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
Ah,,Chris G , panic over. Greetings from Wales UK...
Griffin, sorry for the Tilt!! lol Funny you should say that,
Here are the Tofu love frogs, doing their version of an old Woody Guthrie song "aint got no home in this world anymore"
You gotta dance to this, sort of with the boots not laced up and a bottle or can of your favourite beverage in your hand, not worrying about spilling it, as everyone else is spilling theirs!!!
I find this song usefull to deter folk from ringing my doorbell, Mormons, FBI ( I cant tell the difference the suits are similar,allthough just what the FBI would be doing in Wales I dont know!) and general salesfolk.
I will surprise you with a beautifull ballad next.
Rise like lions after slumber,in unvanquishable number. Shake your chains to earth like dew which in sleep has fallen on you. Ye are many,they are few. Shelley
Back to the sixties, Fairport convention, and the magicall Sandy Denny, RIP, (again and again,and again)
And a good reminicse I hope you will agree: "Who knows where the time goes?" BY fairport C.
I wasn't lucky enough to see fairport with Sandy denny, But I did see them with Kathy le surf, and she did this song beautifully. Big shoes to fill, she filled them,.

Griffin, no not at all, you must not have waited for the page to load, I put up a tofu version of a woody guthrie song, And then a fairport convention one with Sandy Denny.. All I can think is you didnt wait for it to load on the page or something.

Thanks Rossy. I will give it another try. I still seem to be having some intermittent tech problems with YouTube. I'm beginning to think it may also be my handheld device causing problems. I'll be back in a bit.

UPDATE: It was my blasted handheld device causing problems again. I will check it later when I can get to my desktop. Thanks.
No probs Griffin. I will just put your mind at rest a bit, I know I am known for joking around, but I can faithfully promise, not when It comes to music I love! I love every track I have posted, for many differing reasons, and would not joke about it.
I will lay my soul bare now, with some songs that are my all time favourites, all the next three, will be from the fantastic Band "Dead can dance" Founders Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry, had a real life ralationship as well as a professional one.
Australian Lisa Gerrard is in my humble opinion extremely interesting from a musical point of view, because she has extensively travelled eastern countries amongst others, and picked up many styles/voicings/differing scales harmonics etc along the way which makes for some interesting combinations.
To start you off "not in the deep end" (because there is a much deeper end) here is a beautifull and powerfull ballad. Entitled;
"IN power we entrust the love advocated" This and the next two are possibly my three all time favourite pieces of music, from the realm that isnt regarded as classical. Wack up the volume and enjoy. Here are the lyrics, I find "I am disabled by fears concerning whch course to take" completely apt in so many real life situations. And "This night is filled with cries of dispossesed children in search of paradise" hauntingly accurate.
DEAD CAN DANCE "In Power We entrust The Love Advocated"
Sail on silver wings Through this storm What fortune love may bring Back to my arms again The love of a former golden age. I am disabled by fears concerning which course to take. For, now that wheels are turning, I find my faith deserting me...
This night is filled with cries of Dispossesed children in search of Paradise. A sign of unresolve that, Envisioned, drives the pinwheel on-and-on. I am disabled by fears concerning which course to take. When memory bears witness to The innocence, consumed in dying rage!
The way lies through our love; There can be no other means to the end, Or keys to my heart... You will never find. You will never find!

Brilliant Peter gabriel Track PPP, thanks. Here is my second Dead can Dance track, Carnival of light, and an introduction to Lisas haunting voice.
Enjoy.

You may have heard this and just not known, it has, and is being used in the UK for Archeology programs, like say "secrets of the Pharoahs" and other programs where there may be a mystery involved, or just something ancient.
It has a timeless and ethereal quality, in fact so unlike anything else, just listening to it will not give you any Idea of date or timeline...
Lisa Gerrard is absolutley the undisputed High Priestess of The Arcane and ethereal, If you had to guess her nationality from this track, I would bet money you would not guess Australian.
At one minite Fifty three seconds in, this is when the power of this track hits home, dont try and work out what the words are, just hear the vocals as you would an instrument, and be assured she does it the same each time. Staggering. IF I had to pick just one track in the world that someone who hadn't heard it would seriously listen to it,this would be the one.
Dead Can Dance "Cantara"

Brilliant Elssa, and very sad you dont hear much of her on the radio. Do you remember my next offering :The incredible string band and "The sailer and the Dancer?" Looking at the comments on Utube for this, I was pleasently and happily surprised by the younger folk getting into it!
Enjoy.

Good song Wayne, and one that makes me a little frightened to look in wardrobes. lol.
I was going to post something entirely different, BUT, mrs.Rossy says this next one in her opinion is the most beautifull piece of music in the world, I don't think it is off topic, because she heard it first in her childhood.
So here is Mrs Rossys beautifull music.

My compliments to Mrs. Rossy! I actually have this very recording. As I said earlier , my taste in music is VERY eclectic. I love choral music, and sang in choirs throughout my school years.
Thanks. I'll be posting again on Monday.
PS: I just finished visiting an old college friend, told him about this forum, and he made some great suggestions for me to share. I have plenty I've already come up with myself.
I won't have to wait until Monday after all. I solved a part of my tech problems. Now we can give the proper respect due to the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin! She also sang her own version of the Stones' "Satisfaction." Enjoy!

Can you tell us who this is? I like this but wouldn't know where to begin looking for it without a few pointers.
EDIT - I went looking and have located "Treasures of English Church Music" CD. Now I'd like to find a CD of all those hymns we used to sing at school in the UK in the late 50s early 60s. (Yes, I'm a boomer).

Here's something from someone I never hear on the radio anymore.
