@joss and @POPS Oh, thank you so much for those videos. Axe lady plays mean blues and, whilst I’d never come across PMJ before, I shall now explore in depth. The trio singing All About the Bass are just brilliant. Each with her own individual voice which come together in fantastic harmony, must try and find more by them singing together. Would be better without the video though, they are all what a gentleman must call “quite charming”. It can be difficult to listen to the music in detail while being distracted by their charmingness!
What I loved about the PMJ stuff was that everyone was just having a great time, enjoying themselves making music.
Thank @Tharg

happy st davids day
St David is the Patron Saint of Wales
No not the pub down the road selling those real ales
March the 1st is a special day
To all true Welshmen even living miles awayFor on that day we celebrate 100 years of life
Of David who reigned as Bishop and Archbishop over mortal strife
His last words were in a sermon I did read
” Be joyful keep your faith and creedDo the little things you have seen me do and heard about, he said
And walk the path our fathers trod, take heed now for I’ll soon be dead”
And in March the 1st AD589, Dewi Sant slipped off his mortal coil they say
Which henceforth became known as “St David’s Day”Thanks for the insight Mike. It makes me realise how little I know, and makes me determined to keep learning, even at my age.
Joss haven’t watched “all about the bass” in ages, absolutely brilliant, although i must confess its the first time ive watched it with the volume up lol.

Billy Connolly, I loved the one about Jaws and his flipper..
In an effort to hear more of the charming trio from PMJ, I sought out songs by Hailey Reinhart. She has done a cover version of White Rabbit from Jefferson Airplane. I never thought I’d hear anyone better than Grace Slick do those lyrics, but Reinhart at least equals her. Astonishing.
I loved Grace Slick and thought life so unfair that she didn’t know I existed. When I was about 18 years old, she sang a song called “Somebody to love”, and I was hooked. Happy memories of a time when I fell in love many times.
another blues guy to maybe have a listen to if you havent heard of him is the australian, C W Stoneking. Jungle Blues being his best album imo.
Current Car: Hyundai Kona Premium EV...2 way 40kg hoist
Last Car: Toyota C-HR Excel Hybrid...4 way 80kg hoistOMG! PMJ? OTT! (changing name to The Acronym Kid?) Seriously, though, you’ve got me hooked on PMJ creations. Always listenable. Fun, intriguing music. And occasionally some super surprises: A three-part harmony version of Tell Me What You Want is a knockout – was more than halfway through before I realised it was a cover of Spice Girls hit. And a version of the Kinks You Really Got Me is just stunning – so different to original and hooks you in straight away.
LOL

I am also reminded of the archaeologists who unearthed a large round pot, unusually, with only one handle. Engraved on the side was Itis apis spotanda bigone
It is a piss pot and a big one

Yup. An old gag but one that needs to be repeated before it gets lost. 🙂
And a million thanks for the vid of Ms Emerald. Most enjoyable – and just about the biggest jazz band I’ve ever seen!
Have a couple of vid’s I’d like to post (of Gaby Moreno). Now going away to work out how to do it. BBS
To post YouTube vids simply click on the screen of the video and select copy video url. Then post it in your post here @Tharg

Cheers, Joss. Saved me poking about for an hour and getting it wrong. Hopefully, catering permitting, will put something up this afternoon(-ish)
Right then, let’s see if this works. This is an “official” vid of Gaby Moreno singing Ave que Emigra. She does some great live performances (might try one later) but the sound quality is crap. Put this schmaltzy one in here just to let the good audio show the range and stunning nature of her voice. Harmonies at the end are lovely…
Yippee! Worked! Here’s a live one, with orchestra, of her song Illusion. She writes most of her own stuff, wins awards for it too. Just love the words to this, hope the audio quality ain’t too bad…
Well done on posting Videos @Tharg. She is not half bad is she. I love to watch the facial expressions of someone sing as she does. Nice on Old chap.
