Hi Topaz, you might like this.
I first heard a version of this a while back, it was on the opening credits of the film Inside Man.

I could not get it out of my head and in truth it was better than the entire film. I tracked it down on UTube, this though is a newer effort with some pretty awesome effects and scenery.

Any Judith Durham fans
‘The Carnival is over’…

I have been going throught her songs checking on the words of ‘Morningtown ride’ which I sing to my grandchildren when they are going to sleep

I am a great fan Meg, Judith Durhams voice is one of the best female voices in the World in my humble opinion. I have to say female singers don’t impress me much, I don’t know why and I have nothing against any of them, but my missus will tell you anytime I hear Judith or Brenda Lee, I’m off in a magical trance, (God help me:-D)

You are clearly a man of taste Jem
I think JD not only had a lovely voice but was beautiful too

Meg darlin’ - Judith Durham’s song “The Carnival is over” is actually a Russian folk song entitled Stenka Razin". Go to Youtube, type in Ivan Rebroff/Stenka Razin and listen to one of the most powerful, beautiful voices ever. Sadly he died several years ago, but I have a number of his CDs. His “Little Bell” is a master-class in voice control.

Annie it’s amazing isn’t it how music has the power to transport one back across the years to another time…

Just so with this bit of nostalgia, for what was perhaps a more simple time, what can be remembered that is.

Hi Uncle Joe thank you, I found and listened to them yesterday.
The Videos reminded of these people from the Ukraine who come to sing in the Priory at Malvern…

Vassily Savenko sings with Boyan Ensemble of Kiev

…We had a little Ukrainian girl Yelena staying in our house (at work ) and she was very homesick.
I took her to see the Choir perform, the Priory was lit by candle light and the atmosphere was magical. Yelena’s eyes glistened with tears of pride and memories of home. It is something I will always remember…

Meg darlin’ - during ‘Woodstock’ I was up to armpits in banners, posters, demonstrations and battles with ‘plod’ over the Vietnam war, and Wilson and then Heath’s attacks on the Trade Union movement.
