The Music Thread

[horrie hastings]

Just been skimming through this thread as it’s before my time on here. Wow at some of the ‘spats’ between the posters. It makes todays look tame! I’ll ha
ve to think of something to add later.

LOL MR, i looked at this thread last night and thought about resurrecting it after AW bought back another thread which has now disappeared again. I had forgotten about Trenty , he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. And lol about my comments about Nikki Webster and Chloe Latanzzi, I'm still not a huge fan of Chloe but my attitude towards her has softened a bit over the last few years.

Horrie I am so pleased you have brought up the disappearing threads that I resurrected last night I noticed the disappearance of these threads myself last night. However Chandra my pilates instructor and well being coach has been instilling an attitude into myself not to get upset by such petty injustices and just take such things in your stride.

PS I found trenty very amusing

I'm currently listening to this sheer beauty:

I’ve never heard of Trenty but I get the impression he wasn’t well liked.

Two songs that you rarely hear of these days and two of my favorites, the first especially by Frida because it made no5 on the charts and i thought a station like WS or Smooth may put it on their playlists but no.
The second one by Jeff Lynne only made 31 on the charts and disappeared without a trace.

Frida - I Know There's Something Going On

I like Jazz piano. This tune's by a guy called Ryo Fukui who's sadly deceased but used the run a jazz bar, where he played privately pretty much until his death.

Saw him live once when he visited a bar near where I lived in Japan. He played this tune and it set such an amazing atmosphere.

TBH I wish Australia had more of a hole in the wall jazz bar scene. Every little town in Japan has one, there will be a local musician who plays (and arranges big city guests regularly). Doubt there's a lot of money in it with ~$10 door charges and cocktails (which all the local English teachers used to whinge about soooo hard as if $10 at the door including a complementary glass of bubbly with ~$5 house-sized glasses of red / beer and $10 cocktails was EXTORTION. Even when 1/2 your drinks end up being free as locals love to shout everybody rounds of wines/shots once their feeling a bit tipsy).

Jeez some of those guys musta gotten a wake-up call when they moved back home. I could easily have a night out at a jazz bar for $100 (including a free joint or two, which I politely refused). There's also a ragtime classics bar in an old-style Japanese house that I'll definitely be hitting up next time I visit Japan.

Anyhow, Ryo Fukui... ENJOY!

Thanks for sharing ism. I like the old fashioned clubs you see on telly with everyone all dressed up elegantly, listening to someone singing torch songs.

Glenn Frey did this wonderful album before he passed and I saw him at the Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

This is a wonderful album for Saturday nights:

Welcome back Big Dog! We need some new energy in the music threads. My sister had that album somewhere. She used to work for the Film Censorship Board years ago and they looked after the video clips for Countdown, so they were given albums to listen to also and that was one of them. I still remember nearly every album in that pile of vinyl.
