Anyone who introduces someone to Sharon Tandy will likely be familiar with both here, one a response to your CATCH US IF YOU CAN post and the other to the Sharon Tandy/Les Fleur De Lys turn-on - thank you, galacticgirrrl: I've never seen that PP item. Thank you for that... Thank MOJO as I got a CD of theirs which had it. It may have also featured The Pentangle's "Light Flight" which eventually led me to the following - Happy St. Patrick's Day, galacticgirrrl: |

Thank MOJO as I got a CD of theirs which had it. It may have also featured The Pentangle's "Light Flight" which eventually led me to the following - Happy St. Patrick's Day, galacticgirrrl: More MOJO yes! Beautiful way to start the day. Now I am off playing all my Pentangle videos. More lovely sonic distractions. They are still playing and touring - ish. I do hate when I look up the history of a band and the wiki tells me they ARE a band....not retired...letting me know that yet again I have dropped a ball. I'm not sure yet what I think of bands like Tangerine Dream touring with no original artists on deck. I shouldn't begrudge but it is an urge hard to suppress. Hark who goes there O'Guested one? To thine own self be true - prithee disrobe and join our merry bunch of music lovers in the flesh, as Angela Trimble often so eloquently opines.  |

Reading about the making of The Stranger (1946), I am struck by the kindness of Orson Welles towards Billy House, who interestingly broke into show business as a trumpet player. I am also struck by the kindness of Marili Morden towards Kid Ory and so many others.  Nesuhi Ertegun, Kid Ory, Marili Morden examine 78s in a posed shot taken at the Jazz Man Record Shop ca. 1945.I guess, to be truthful, that there was a lot of New Orleans dixieland players working that couldn't find a job for years - Barney Bigard A passionate and knowledgeable fan of traditional New Orleans jazz, Welles was part of the social network of Hollywood's Jazz Man Record Shop, a business that opened in 1939 and was instrumental in the worldwide revival of original jazz in the 1940s. In February 1944 Welles asked Marili Morden, proprietor of Jazz Man Records, to put together an authentic jazz band for The Orson Welles Almanac. I don't mind saying that when we played 'Blues for Jimmie' all the musicians in the band were crying. So was Mr. Welles, and the audience, too - Kid Ory"Blues for Jimmie" Kid Ory radio broadcast with full Orson Wells introduction |

Happy Birthday, Edward James "Son" House Jr! (21 March 1902 -- 19 October 1988)
A leader in the delta blues, Son House recorded in the 1930s but did not meet with national popularity. By the early part of the 1940s House was completely disillusioned by the music industry and quit it. As is often the case with early blues musicians, House's history is full of contradictions of the facts. He had been a preacher for a time, did a stretch in prison, and held odd jobs. During the blues revival of the 1960s House was rediscovered.
House's tune "Preachin' the Blues" was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2017.
House was a formative influence on Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and others.
If you do nothing else today, listen here to House do "John the Revelator". You can thank me later.

Pinkpop is an annual music festival held at Landgraaf, Netherlands. It is usually held on the Pentecost weekend. It is the oldest and longest running annual dedicated pop and rock music festival in the world. Radiate simply, the candle is burning, so low for meCockney Rebel - Sebastian 1974 Kate Bush played a special concert May 12th, 1979 at the Hammersmith Odeon in aid of Bill Duffield, her lighting engineer who tragically died after the first performance in Poole. Steve Harley was her special guest on the night along with Peter Gabriel, performing on versions of Them Heavy People, The ‘Woman’ With the Child in Her Eyes, Best Years of Our Lives, Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me) and Let it Be.  |

Another song inspired by the great Houdini....and maybe John Lennon.
Not really... well, perhaps, when I look back on it, maybe it was. I actually arrived in New York that awful evening when he was shot and I was staying at the Virgin Records house in Perry Street, which was just a few blocks down the road from the Dakota Building where it happened, so it probably sank into my subconscious. It was originally inspired by a film I loved – Houdini, starring Tony Curtis, which was about attempts to contact Houdini after he'd died, through spiritualism... it was originally a song influenced by that, but a lot of other things must have crept in there without me realising it. — Mike Oldfield
[if anyone knows what is meant by the line, Caught in the middle of a hundred and five, kindly advise.]
Moonlight Shadow - Mike Oldfield ft. Maggie Reilly

Featured in Oscar nominated movie, Anatomy of a Fall (2023). The song plays a prominent role in the plot. I read that when the producers tried to get the rights to Dolly Parton's Jolene and were denied, they used this instead. It's an instrumental version of a 50 cent song PIMP..
