That’s nice AB 
takes me back to summers long gone…
Get rid of the advert, view full screen and enjoy.
Yes matey - magnificent!!! - have always enjoyed the music of Strauss. Recently there have been a series of adverts on television (Viking Tours) to take a river cruise down the Danube from Passau all the way down to Budapest stopping off in Vienna and back. Somewhat pricey to do, but would love to do it.
Joe, I have a lot of Andre Rieu DVD’s and enjoy them very much. These are the short versions and to watch a full DVD does wonders for the soul.
Try this one.
AB matey, I have this many times over including a recording from the Vienna Staats Opera orchestra conducted by Lorin Maazel.
AB matey, I watch the New Year’s Day concert from Vienna every year. An ambition I have - to be there in person one day - but the waiting list for tickets is many years so it will have to remain an unfulfilled ambition.
I would enjoy that:-) tour myself…
This is from a band called Family. I saw quite a lot of them in the late sixties.
This is from the album: Family Entertainment.
Cop an earful at the lyrics, it sort of tells the story of a trip through a lifetime, I guess you had to be there, wherever there was at the time.
Shirley Bassey may be a good artist AB matey, but too raucous for my taste - prefer this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YYc-S2UDZA&feature=related
Lovely Uncle Joe just the right mood music for a rather subdued rainy Saturday morning…
This was what a locum teacher tried to teach me over lunch breaks many, many years ago. I heard him playing it and stood in the doorway to the classroom listening. He invited me in and tried to teach me. I don’t ‘read’ music at all so he tried to teach me by ear. I never knew the name of this piece until some years later I accidentally stumbled across a recording of it. Ever since then it has been a piece of music that I adore and probably will until the day I die.
Right now I am listening to my refrigerator cycle. LOL
A very short bit of sheer nonsense from Sam Brown, daughter of Joe.
This is a short piece from the simply stunning 2006 Spanish film by Guillermo del Toro called Pan’s Labyrinth.
The soundtrack is by Javier Navarrete.
Hammer did you see the film Pan’s Labyrinth I thought it was a great film, the music is very evocotive for me , I was humming it for days after first hearing it …
So much like her poor Mother. BTW, what’s happened to Joe, is he still in the land of the living???
Yes he is still in the land of the living I think, the last I heard of him was in April doing a show in Glasgow.
