It awes me that we have this resource-Warrigal, that is and the music as well. I still can’t listen to them and certainly not standing in this alcove at the door of the library on wireless.
Tee hee! How times are a-changin’. What self respecting rager spends Saturday night on wireless. 🙂

Grace Jones. I nevr knew what to make of her, The world was bombarded with her strange compelling photographs, for a stint, which always seemed to imply a sort of Dykey, two- bob- each- way image.
However she also had a compelling voice to go with the peculiar visage. An alluring mix of hedonistic promise, seemed to lurk under those cheekbones.
A good inclusion Warrigal. You defiantly have a knack for coming up with milestones and quality. Cheers.

Yes, although a bit ‘pop-ish’, it’s evocative. And the chorus is sort of ‘heavenly’.
Guaranteed to make everyone bawl at one’s funeral, but of course that would be a no-no. It would have every one thinking that there was something that one had wished to hear; and that it was being played in admonishment, for it never having been said. If that makes sense?
A good classic.
There is a YouTube of them singing it a few years ago. All grey and wizened now. But still top musos.

Whiter shade of pale got me thinking about Homburg and Salty dog. Underestimated stuff.
I have some LPs of Robin Trower.He was the guitarist from Procul Hrem. I’m wondering if Hung, or T2 are familiar with his work? Very heavy and driven. Big amplifiers and a big throbbing guitar sound.
I used to play it at home on my JBLs, and always got the response, “Who the hell is that?”

Brilliant, thanks Warrigal.
I got stuck for the singer’s name and cheated, by googling. A superb voice: James Dewar, Reminiscent of Paul Rodgers, even a touch of one of your selections above, Paul Young. Another musican who never reached his true potential. Touch of Rod Stewart and Brian Adams too.
I’m goig to find another of Trower’s tunes now.

Found one…they’re still going, but with a different singer.

Good selection Warrigal. I’ll play them in the morning. Mrs London is out tonight: the last night of the school musical. I’m gorging on stuff without having to bother with dinner conversation.
Unfortunately I put some chestnuts in our new oven, and 1/2 of them burst. A nasty mess. I forgot to split the small end, plus I’m not familiar with this new Tardis.
I was hoping to jig around to Modern Love, modern love, modern love. But I’ll have to clean up, or I’ll be in the doghouse.

Dear, dear love!
I dare you all! Take this song with a bit of tequila and see if you can ever recover!

Settle down atomou. I don’t know what you’re adding to that moussaka, but it’s making you awfully frisky.

Ok, Laddie, I’ll tell you, though it was gonna be a secret secret for Vivie’s eyes only: In my moussaka, I use pineapple sage. We’ve got growing in many pots in our back yard. Intoxicating scent and gorgeous little red flowers that attract the birds.
Perhaps I took too great a whiff.
Vivie, I’ll write the recipe later when things ease off a little around here, but for now, that is my secret, secret ingredient. Not only do I chop it up along with the parsley, rosemary and oregano but, once the moussaka (or lasagna) has finished cooking in the oven and the top (bechamel sauce) looks good, I take it out, place a couple of little sprigs over it, cover it with foil and put it back in the oven for another, say 10-15mins, or time this to coincide with the readiness of the guests around the table. When they’re ready to eat, you take it out of the oven, take off the foil and you can hear the “wow” all the way to Greece! Give or take a kilometre!
