Try looking at the "vid" for this (Somebody to love) in a dark room...

The one to Tobacco Road ain't too bad either and has more moving parts...

Prefer the video to the cover done by Boogie Pimps:

Some truly joy invoking voices, Bryn Terfel, Placido Domingo and Rolando Villazon, Hayley Westenra and Jonathon Ansell, Russel Watson ( Nessun Dorma), Jose Carreras,( Granada) Opera Babes ( One Fine Day) etc. Right now Hayley Westenra and Jonathon Ansell singing Un Giorno per Noi (a time/day for us?) better known as the love theme from Romeo and Juliet. Quite delightful. I'm so chilled I could slide off the chair in a puddle.

Wearing a smoking jacket, cigarette in holder, brandy and soda in hand. Wife trimming the moustache. a true Noel coward moment.

Close-to-final mixes for the new Howl Griff album; three-day weekend will be spent wiping its arse and sending it off. So excited, I don't mind camping, our usual Cardiff doss-house being unavailable.

Brilliant stuff.

Moved onto Sufjan Stevens, and a bit of Yann Tiersen...

If you like Strawberry Alarm Clock, then you should invest in the Nuggets box set. The definitely collection of garage punk/psych from 65-68 period.

Barely a bad track on it!

Will give that a whirl Mof thanks for the tip

There's quite a few goodies from around then - 13th Floor Elevators, Quicksliver Messenger Service, Fever Tree, Sweetwater....all good hippie shit

Me, I've been getting into Fanny. All-female hair-rockers from the 60s/70s cusp. Saw them on an Old Grey Whistle Test re-run and sped to Spotify. I recommend You're the One and will be doing so to anyone who sits still for long enough, and some who don't.

Prompted by a Trotters thread, I had a run theough a few Fleetwood Mac items on youtube, Tango in the night, Gypsy etc, then the Tango mode had me over to Hank Marvin's Guitar Tango (the accoustic version), which led onto Classical Gas, which in turn had me back to the late sixties Mason Williams original. Now I'm off to find Asturias (la leyenda) and other such guitar classics.

WTW might just appreciate this. No wonder Segovia called the guitar a one-man-orchestra. This is my beloved Asturias, the one piece above all others I'd love to play.....if only.

Just stunning, Tango... What a great guitarist he is...

Have you ever visited Asturias? Land of cider and famous blue cheeses and coal mines and hills and deep valleys and rain - sounds like a sort of Spanish Wales?

I never have, but always wanted to - did some post grad work on Asturias in the 1930s in the days when I wanted to be a historian... (bit of me still does, but getting too old for it

).

No, never have. Seen Barcelona, Granada, Seville, Ronda, Cartagena and quite a few Costa resorts but never there. Spain is a fascinating land behind the hype and stereotype and its music is divine. I did once drive there and back across France and over the Pyrenees, and that was a sightseeing tour par excellence.
