Sunday Morning Music.....

[Korky]

OK....... so it's Sunday morning and a member of your household shouts through from the kitchen "C'mon chuck, give us some Sunday music. Summat I can have a bop to while I'm peelin' these piggin' carrots". What do you choose? A bit of Mantovani perhaps? Or maybe a blast of 'Snooker Loopy'?

I'll go first.....

Right now Paul Simon's 'Graceland' is wafting through the corridors of Korkington Manor. Right fine it is, too.  And not showing its age one jot. 'Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes' is playing as I scribble this. Streamed from Amazon Music - can't be doin' wi' them new-fangled cassettes!

Anyone else?

"Where diy you get that face from Lil ?"

" Of a cat, silly"....... "I must put my pyjama’s in the drawer, marked...PYJAMAS !..... and then.... I must search the peke.....for fleas "

Under Mik Wood ? Love it..... I once designed and painted the sets for it....on three ..Revolves....which turned just like the pages of a book....the actor leaving a scene, turned on the next....

Fell out with Dylan Thomas, the man though...after I read all of his scrounging begging letters.

Music, this morning  ?      Benitictus...The Armed Man.....Mass for Peace.

I just have Siri.....but use Apple Music and YouTube for most of my listening....the iPad Pro has four amazing speakers......I do have two high-end Bluetooth speakers too.

Peace and quiet this morning after a hectic week but for choice it's either Opera or some Count Basie depending on my mood.

I went to the Premiere of Karl Jenkins Armed Man  A Mass for Peace at the Albert Hall ..in 2001 when it was  played publically  for the first time ..  It featured the National Youth Choir ... quite the best choir I have ever heard ...It was quite unforgettable Fooj .. Were you asking where the winking emoji  came from when you said "face"  Fooj?

Early Monday morning here, and heading for over 40Cdeg today, so I have the windows wide open and letting in a bit of cool air before we have to 'shut down'. I have heaps of playlists on my laptop and am listening via earphones to a Karl Jenkins, Hans Zimmer and John Dreamer collection that I have named 'Powerful' and is about 40 odd minutes long - then I'll be ready for brekky and second coffee!

Freddie Mercury!  Who else?

Has anyone been to see Bohemian Rhapsody?  Brilliant film, I've been twice already!

 

[VWGolf]

Karl Jenkins - great choice.

I went to see them ( for real ) in my younger days.... and I have the Film booked to see in two weeks ... My alltime  favourites  ...ever .  I loved Rami Malek  in The  Robot  too ...

Sunday morning is always Radio Caroline on 648 metres, we are lucky that the coverage is good for the station in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk.

My alarm on my phone everyday is Easy Street by The Collapsable Hearts Club featuring Jim Bianco and Petra Haden. For those unaware of this song it was used on The Walking Dead series 7 as a sleep deprivation torture technique by playing it constantly. There are 1 hour, 10 hour and 24 hour looped versions. This is just one....

I haven't got round to seeing the movie yet though.

I think so, but I've had to wait a long time for someone to agree with me.

An absolute classic album though, eh? Sounds as fresh today as it did when it was recorded. And, if I remember correctly, Paul Simon got himself into a sizeable mess of controversy for daring to record the album with black musicians in South Africa, which was still operating the dreadful apartheid system. Just goggled it and the album was released in 1986.

Most mornings (and afternoons) I'm listening to 'Planet Rock' online (also on DAB radio), Sunday mornings has 'The Hairy Rock-show' with The Hairy Bikers (excellent music+recipes+god raconteurs), then followed by Bernard Docherty's 'Blues-Hour'.

I bought this when it first came out and there are tracks that I much prefer, such as: I Know What I Know, Gumboots, Under African Skies and Crazy Love.

Anyway I give you one from today, an album by Anne Dudley (Art of Noise) and Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke) called Songs From The Victorious City, from 1990:

Hardly Sunday morning music, but well worth a watch as it's just so clever.

 

[Ryewolf]

I've seen this before, and it's still pretty impressive.

And to end our Sunday morning...........

A bit of Sunday morning music.
