Looks like we all have more time to listen to some music.Well tonight it was television shows that got me listening.Back in the early 70s the series Van Der Walk was required viewing in our house.I really liked the theme music which actually made it to Number 1 in the UK charts.

Tonights show though was the new 2019 revival.Not as good as the original.

Twice this week I have watched Death In Paradise.The TV here has captions and i haven't worked out how to get rid of them.But on this show it tells you what every song is throughout the show.The Ethiopians appear quite regularly so i have looked them up.Helps that I like reggae.So here is the one from tonights episode.

And one that is a little relevant to today.But note what they called that year's flu.

Yes the Hong Kong flu which was estimated to kill 1 million people world wide.

So this morning because I had listened to some reggae last night I Found a very appropriate song for my Easter weekend-Red,red wine.but of course sung by Bob Marley.

For the rest of the morning listening to a collection of his songs.

And yes I have made the trek to his home in Kingston.

Followed by a wonderful cornucopia of artists and composers..
Debussy with main course
Streisand and Elvis mid course
Desert we return to our roots, Botticelli…who is still warbling away in the family room

footnote :
If I have one, I must have thousand cd's, several decent amps, and some lovely old Dynaudio speakers packed away somewhere in the workshop.
why ?
Oh it's all too much hassle..cables, speakers, cables, amps, cables, cd players, more cables..sheesh
enter stage left..a silly little Sonos one wireless speaker (that I nearly sent back when I saw it) and a Spotify account.
The little speaker (it cost me $250) is running flat out in our cavernous family room , a dumber mate to help it out will cost me $219….sometimes we spend more than that on dinner….
Spotify is a revelation... I can call up play list queue's of everything popular that I need..fantastic.
Oh yes you say..... the bitrate is cough even on the highest settings , the little toy speaker is way overdriven , the choices are mainstream.. so shoot me.. it's great...

There are some remix out there that I like, not everyone's cup of tea, I know, but this one is a goodie, imo.

But I also like the originals as well.

As I watched the night falling tonight, the lyrics of Patti Smith/Bruce Springsteen song Because the Night, sprung to mind. So I've dragged out the vinyl for Horses and Easter, and have them cranked up at 11, to drown out the kids next door. Good days

Sigh, memories, saw them (Nine Below Zero, that is) in the eighties at the pub at the end of Elsham Road in London, I floated in and out of a house in that street, and that pub had lot's of live music, good times. I saw Australian, Gulliver Smith there, anyone remember him?

I'm in a mood, Fela anyone?

Last one for now.

You would have heard at least one of Smith's songs. Gulliver Smith - Wikipedia

Another day reminiscing. Got The Clash going full bore. And this would have to be one of the best tributes going around.
