bwildman: *nod* a lot depends on the guests though .. the first time i watched the show was great as the guests were great singers (even the radio talker ;)) .. since then the guests arent as good .. its fun .. but not as much as the first time ;)

does anyone know de notenclub its a show on the dutch television

in the show there are 2 teams, one from belgium, and one from the netherlands (as usual ;))
the pianists are fixed, the other 2 on the team are guests and different every week
each team has to gain points by finding some songs and singing them

the songs they have to find have to contain a certain given word.

so for example they are given the word 'piano', they can then think of the song 'the piano man' by billy joel. the pianist of the team then plays the song, and they have to sing the song to keep their turn.

there are some more parts in the show .. but this is the part which made me and my gf wonder.

sometimes the guests have relatively unknown songs, adn the pianist has to play them ... they always manage!

do the pianists know all these songs ? or is part of the show fake and is a list of songs submitted to the guests (as the words they have to chose from arent that difficult :))

does a professional pianist literally know thousands of popular songs ? (and maybe more :))

harley: lol .. you are forgiven .. more people think its a pinguin :) .. i just sent fencer a 'big' picture as .. maybe that will be easier to view ;)

ah! true! .. oops :)

heh lucky that i didnt participate in the music trivia ;)

hmm ... still havent 'my' song of nana mouskouri then ..

it must have been the french i spoke

(its a puffin, not a pinguin! ;) puffins fly like pinguins walk ;))

was that french line correct ? was it a song by her ?

i am in another fellowship with music trivia ... but cant answer any of them .. i was just lucky with this one which i remembered :)

harley: was that because of my good looks ?

"je me ne regrette rien" is that a song by her ?
(maybe i misspelled a word or two ;))

nana mouskouri is 70 years old it seems

last year ??? is she still alive ? and singing ?? she must be older than tina turner! ;)
(probably 'dancing' less and a more pure voice ;))

about everyone in the netherlands knows about her as well

but i think i know some other song from her best .. one in greek i think *ponder*

hmm i dont know .. i looked a bit on google but couldnt find a sing that rang a bell .. i vaguely know there is a song i know from her .. which should be the song you are looking for .. but so far no title pops up in my head :)

maybe you can find it at :

BIG BAD WOLF: i used it once to download some episodes of charmed which i had missed .. but i had to stop it before it was finished .. when i resumed it couldnt connect anymore

lately i installed a new torrent client (azureus) which was recommended to me by someone on here .. still have to play with it for real :)

heh was just about to post here that you found it :)

thanks!!!!!

for some years i am looking for 'asturias' played by 'ernesto bitetti'

my dad has a record with it on it (those big black cds :))

i looked in all music stores in my town (alkmaar, the netherlands) as well as most important music stores in amsterdam .. but never found it .. i asked some shops if they could find it for me but they never could

when i try to find it on the internet most performances i find are by albeniz (i think)

i am looking for the song on cd or md or mp3 so i can play it at home as well .. the costs dont matter that much (within reason ;))

thanks in advance :)
