Nice try but no cigar, that’s the famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom Wurlitzer organ.

By the way, congratulations to your teams performance last night, they were outstanding.

Yeah I know but I couldn't find any photos of the Salford cinema ones.

And thanks for that, I have to keep checking it's real!

So just for you;

The new album by Keane is very good, if you like that sort of thing (which I do).

At 6:22 "Do you love reggae music?" Fantastic. Conscious roots reggae lyrics but presented within a great show of musicianship. I never really got Third World, but this is wonderful.

This is Third World as people maybe remember them

1962? Year I was born

Love is a rebellious bird
that nobody can tame,
and you call him quite in vain
if it suits him not to come.

 

Nothing helps, neither threat nor prayer.
One man talks well, the other's mum;
it's the other one that I prefer.
He's silent but I like his looks.

 

Love! Love! Love! Love!

 

Love is a gypsy's child,
it has never, ever, known a law;
love me not, then I love you;
if I love you, you'd best beware! etc.

 

The bird you thought you had caught
beat its wings and flew away ...
love stays away, you wait and wait;
when least expected, there it is!

 

All around you, swift, so swift,
it comes, it goes and then returns ...
you think you hold it fast, it flees
you think you're free, it holds you fast.

 

Love! Love! Love! Love!

 

Love is a gypsy's child,
it has never, ever, known a law;
love me not, then I love you;
if I love you, you'd best beware!

"Here's to all you all you lucky dogs, it's heads or tails.
Here's to all you filthy rich, I wish you well.
Here's to all the pretty women made for cash.
And here's to dashing daddy's son he's such a flash.

Here's to all the shi tty jobs that I despise.
Here's to two-bit guarantees and other lies.
Here's to roads of burning tar and hot cement.
Here's to money in my hand and where it went.

Here's to people living lives that they regret.
Work your fingers to the bone and sink in debt.
Here's to all those shaky tricks that hustlers try.
You know their easy money is oft' times hard.
They flash a grin an' they wink their eye, well... "

Having recently discovered (on another thread) that there are some Mozart-haters out there, here's one of my dad's arrangements, played by the Canadian wind quintet Pentaedre on their latest album. Just to annoy them.

One of things he's done most of his life is arrange music, mainly taking string or keyboard music and setting it for wind instruments. When I was younger, we used to do music for the Christmas service at the nearest village's church. He'd rope in local musicians, figure out how good they were and create personalised arrangements that gave the novices simple harmony lines, while the better players got the more technical stuff.

He's got a gift for it in general, but he's especially fond of creating new repertoire for wind quintets.
