Really interesting use of syncopation there, and almost discordant harmonies. I really like their music. Thanks

Nirvana: For the trivia buffs out there.Anne Murray was Elvis's favorite female singer.He even covered SNOWBIRD......Interesting additional story behind this song.It was released during the cold war,a number of people in the US military had suspicios minds regarding its intent.Some thought it was recorded by Canadian communist allies with the intent of having it played as a signal for attack on strategic American installations.Upon hearing this rumor Elvis stopped performing the song in public,and had The Colonel ask radio stations to also cease playing his version.

Jim Dandy: That was cool! I have to admit, I've never gotten to see Deliverance.

Jim Dandy:  That was a walk down memory lane.  And, you are right about music music being a language in it's own rite.  Perfect example of how it can transcend cultural differences as well.

Nirvana: Great stuff!!! Especially Dire Straits, and Fleetwood Mac. I recently caught a concert with Fleetwood Mac, all of them gray of hair (Stevie's was blonde, but as she says, "women usually are"), and still rocking and rolling. There is a DVD out, and right now I can't remember the name of it, but what a trip! I have some of the music from that show on my machine. I have since gone out to pick up that concert. It's Live in Boston. And, here's a cut from it....



And, Knoffler. How young he was. I don't think anyone on that stage was straining to put out soooooooooo much sound. Thanks for doing that for us.

Nirvana: Thanks for those videos. What is the Glastonbury 2007???

Eriisa: A well known live festival held most years, usually in bad weather (this year in very heavy rain and mud) in Glastonbury England.

Similarly the Isle of Wight festival is held in somewhat better weather on the Isle of Wight, an annual event.

Nirvana: What kind of music do you like? Did you ever go to one or both of those festivals?

Can anybody play the uke? lmbo!

Mousetrap: having lived in both areas, yes I have been to both, but not during the last few years. Have you?

Nirvana: No I have never fancied having a tent in all that mud lmbo! It would take all the pleasure out of it for me.

Mousetrap: Glastonbury certainly does have a reputation for it's mud, doesn't it! But the Isle of Wight does not. of the two I preferred the latter.

Nirvana: A group from our club went to the Isle of Wight week before last and it rained all the time.

Mousetrap: You can't be sure of the weather, no matter where you go, can you? but I enjoyed the ones I went to. I'd rather see live bands than videos, and sometimes I got to meet some of the players, always worth doing!

Nirvana: I like to watch them on the tv because at least I can use the subtitles and understand what they are saying lmbo! I only like certain bands though. Most of them just sound like noise to me. I liked Queen with Freddie. That one Jules posted further down too I like. Something that at least sounds and feels like music lmbo!

Mousetrap: this year's mud at Glastonbury was bad though!


Video removed because of the language.

Nirvana: Yes I saw it in the paper. It is a wonder they don,t sell it in a bottle for health purposes like they do with the Dead Sea mud.
