Mousetrap: LOL..sorry, didnt want to "confuse" you, just shared my experience :)

Music
have fun! (not all work but most do)

I use WinMX also...cant fault it :o)

Stevie: So its you who downloads all my Beatles' songs?

Just out of curiosity - has anyone used torrents?

BIG BAD WOLF:
I don,t even know what torrents is sorry.
Anyone on here heard of or like Nana Mousouri?

Do you mean this lady?

Nana Mouskouri

Nana Mouskouri

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 :)

What was the number one Nana Mouskouri had in the UK in the 1980's? It was in the charts for ages.

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 :

harley:
The song was Only Love.
Yes that is her, she is my favourite, I have been a fan of hers for over 30 years and have never met anyone on here who had heard of her.

Only Love!! Thank you, Hrqls!

LOL our posts crossed, Mousetrap! I found it at Amazon from Hrqls' post. I must admit thats the only song of hers I really remember, if it hadn't been for that one, i probably wouldn't have heard of her either. I'll have to look into other things she's done.

Nana Mouskouri? Sheesh, if you live in Greece you've heard of her! I think her best known song is 'The White Rose of Athens'.

Come to think of it, I seem to recall bumble going to see her in concert last year and saying she was singing as well as ever.

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*

Ouch! She's not old! Not from what I remember anyway.

"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

Wow!

Theres a music quiz at Quizmasters fellowship...

harley: was that because of my good looks ?

Well, don't tell my partner, but I can never resist a penguin

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 :)

"je me ne regrette rien" was Edith Piaf I think.

ah! true! .. oops :)

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

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

cariad:
Yes I seen her in concert 3 times, she is as good as ever, I think she is 71 this year. And her daughter sings as good as if not better than her.

Whoops, sorry! I didn't look closely, I just saw the black & white and vaguely penguiny shape!

When I think of Nana Mouskouri I always think of the White Rose of Athens as 'her' song.
((Weiße Rosen aus Athen)
(Roses blanches de Corfou)
(Rosa d'Atene)
(San sfirixis tris fores)

Yes, I saw her in concert last year. She looks great and sounds wonderful!

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 ;)
