. . . starts now! Last Thursday night I stopped in at the English pub in the Valley for a pint of Carlsberg and an order of fish tacos. Seated at the short end of the bar next to the juke box, I put five bucks in to play a selection of songs, starting wit...  

Hi Art and friends ! Starting the weekend with a cocktail by the pool and listening to an old favourite with my trusty Milgauss and a very special lady ) … Led Zeppelin, Ramble On … I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Robert Plant snd enjoying few laughs wi...

cool moment and sharing with the music really brought us into the Moment. Thanks so much for sharing. Best, Tim

and titled “It’s a beautiful day today” I was also lucky to help with the light show when they played at Filmore West. Great music, great times and outstanding memories. YouTube is telling me the video is unavailable, maybe Dr. No can help me out. It will...  

. . . It's a Beautiful Day Today . . . . . . should be better known than it is. For that matter, so should the band . . . it's hard to come up with another that has as wide a range musically. What I wouldn't give to have seen them in their heyday. Best, A...

Is always fun and thrilling when you make your deal.

. . . when I noticed the DJ had been continuously playing Queen. I asked the bartender why, as the usual format was to change artists every song. She said, "Look behind you." Brian May was just leaving.

…to get Dr May to leave your bar! 😂 Cheers, pplater.

. . . 'persuaded' the door man into letting them in, and proceeded to intimidate everyone in the joint, ruining the atmosphere. The Rainbow's owner, Mario Maglieri . . . . . . asked his regular customer Chuck Zito . . . . . . to handle the situation. Chuc...  

Love it.

Leonard Cohen as I wear my mid 60’s Turnograph. ...  

Such virtuosity:

. . . what Tarentino is to film production: a master storyteller. I consider both as frustrated novelists. ;-)

…that Cohen published a number of books, including 2 or 3 novels. Frustrated, maybe, but not on that account! Cheers, pplater.

But unfortunately, and I say this as a fan (of his music that is), they're not that good! Shh, don't tell anyone!

He’s written a handful…

Philip Roth, John Updike, James Baldwin. And that's just the American men! Flannery O'Connor, Ursula LeGuin, Ayn Rand are the female writers I want to read more of.

Matador Records 10th anniversary from 1999 (🙁 getting old) and my trusty 114270. ...  

. . . rap!"

Or maybe they don't care for it? Great choice of music too. I especially love the Kingston Trio and Jim Croce numbers. I just love music fhat evokes a bygone era, specifically mid 20th century. When you listen to Francoise Hardy sing this: for example, th...  

. . . especially after reading her Wiki entry. I'd seen her act in Grand Prix and vaguely recall the photo of her wearing a gold dress, but otherwise hadn't a clue as to her singing career. My bad. An instrumental classic from 1963 . . . . . . for your li... 

Here's another of hers, Mon Amie la Rose:

Sharing.

One of my favourite opera arias, Renée Fleming singing Casta Diva from Norma, composed by Vincenzo Bellini. Best Regards Livius ...  

. . . as it's difficult to fathom a member of recent generations dedicating her life to music as Miss Fleming did. Thanks for sharing this video clip showcasing her phenomenal talent, as well as your Jaeger. Art

Have you heard her singing Hab Mir's Gelobt from Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier?: Not even Kiri Te Kanawa can top that as the Marschallin!

… Though I don’t have an interesting story to tell about them, listening always bring me pleasure and fond and nostalgic memories of my long gone youth years o places I visited. Portofino is a lovely place and this guy always reminds me of that magical an...  

Hello dear Abel ! Dame Shirley Bassey as she likes to be known as, is the only artist to sing more than one Bond theme. Goldfinger in 1964, Diamonds Are Forever in 1971 and Moonraker in 1979 ! I have had the pleasure of meeting her in person and talking a... 

… have a talk with her! I deeply admire her voice. I viewed the video of the Bond Concert last October and listened singing Goldfinger theme and was surprised and happy that her marvelous voice is still there! That was a marvelous concert and I only misse... 

and a true legend of a glamorous era.

. . . almost forty years ago. She had the displeasure of seeing me fall asleep right in the middle of Goldfinger . 😱 I'd taken medication earlier in the day and nodded off after taking a few sips of wine. When I awakened she was staring at me with a mixtu... 

… your feelings… and those of Mme. Bassey!! Thank you so much for sharing!! A big hug for you dear Art!! Abel

. . . that Dame Shirley encountered? What were the odds?

Don't think any official concert recording has been released yet.... One of my favs...Coma ...  

. . . at The Rainbow Bar and Grill back in late '80s and early '90s. Saw Guns 'n Roses perform thrice, opening for the Stones in '89. Thank our lucky stars for YouTube - we can re-live our experiences as no other generation before. Art

. . . reminiscing over old times. Been hanging out there for thirty nine years . . . loads of memories, not to mention incidents. 😉

I had expected about 2-2.5 hours tops. Despite the intensity, there wasnt any unnecessary breaks…I think Slash had 7-8 guitars used for the night.

Music always, in ALL WAYS inspires. A special song can bring back memories from sadness to tears of joy... and laughter. Dare we include that music can suddenly remind you of the past decades... enjoying horology. Over the decades there have indeed been v...  

. . . for the inspired slide show. He was a songwriter . . . . . . and a half, that's for sure. Played most Wednesdays on the jukebox . . . . . . at my weekly pool tournament. Art ...  

Come Together, Ballad of John and Yoko, Jealous Guy, Love, and of course, that anthem Imagine. What a thinker!

. . . is a mystery. That's a jam session and a half, Cap . . . wow!

Easy to explain the watch bit, as I have only been wearing the one this weekend 😊 With the first dusting of snow this season. As for the songs, so many that have at different points in time qualified. ‘Long, Long, Long’ by the Beatles, then ‘The Partisan’...  

. . . he was some kind of songwriter, too. Thanks for sharing, K. Art
