Anyone For A Mozart Turkish Rondo?

What!! Four Hands Playing A Guitar!!

This is absolutely brilliant.
My mother used to play this well on a piano but this is something else.



I think Mozart would have been highly amused and probably quite impressed.

Words Don't Come Easy To Me

Hi everyone. I thought you might like a look see another photograph of Maggie and I when we were little, again seated on the deckchair. Then as you are all so nice I think I ought to sing you a song called, Words Don't Come Easy".

This could be every bloggers song because words don't always come easy, although on my last post at Clouds And Silvery Linings I used a fair few trying to explain the antics of Freddie Bluelights with his lecture on why women can multi-task better than us menfolk, see HERE.
Don't believe a word of it - I have a picture of an ancient monk transcribing biblical manuscripts. Unbelievably he has a pen in each hand and he is writing different things neatly all at the same time. Now that's what I call multi-tasking LOL.

Anyway this song is just for you - I heard it on the radio today and made a beeline to find a suitable YouTube rendition, and here it is . I have always loved this song.
So this is just for you from Eddie Blue Eyes.

Bread - Blooming Brilliant

I was looking for some guitar music which might interest my son who is teaching himself to play the acoustic and electric guitar. Then I remembered BREAD and David Gates from all those years ago. As soon as I played them my son loved them all too.

All three songs moved me intensely 30 years ago and believe it or not, they still do today.

The first, DIARY, is a delightful song about a young man reading a young lady's diary (naughty boy) and jumping to the wrong conclusion. Haven't we all done this from time to time? Not read ladies diaries but jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Next is a great song, LOST WITHOUT YOUR LOVE

Next is another famous BREAD song, EVERYTHING I OWN

Of course I could have mentioned many more hits like IF and others.

I hope you ladies had your handkerchiefs with you.

What a big old softy Mr Bluelights is!!

Can You Do This Crossword?

At last I have found a crossword I can complete!

It is fitting this is posted on Plato's site - he would be impressed - so would Socrates!

Oh look! My old mate Spike compiled it!

One of his best known gags was from the Goon Show when he held up a scull in front of his fellow goons saying, "This scull is 200,000 years old!"

They all sang, "Happy Birthday to you!"

Did you know that Spike left these immortal words on his grave headstone as his epitaph?

I TOLD YOU THERE WAS

SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME

Fawlty Towers The Kipper and the Corpse

I am posting some favourite comedy shows. Perhaps some of my American friends may not know these in which case they are in for a real treat.
All twelve episodes are from the highly acclaimed Fawlty Towers series, the first of which we affectionately nicknamed "The Dead Body" but its correct title is The Kipper And The Corpse. I love this series so much I could almost recite all twelve episodes off by heart. I had three bites of the cherry. When the series first appeared we had Basil Fawlty TV parties, when my daughter was young and she loved them and finally when my son was introduced to them with equal enthusiasm.

Play this for the first part


Then play this for the second part


Then play this for the final part

Hope you enjoyed them

Mr Bean - Getting up late for the dentist

Do we all know Mr Bean?

I saw this hilarious post of Rowan Atkinson playing Mr Bean when he overslept for a dental appointment. He left himself no time at all to get ready and he had to get dressed whilst driving his Mini car.

Rod Stewart is singing about Maggie May again

Rod Stewart Is Fabulous And I Never Realised It

I saw an ITV Concert recently when Rod Stewart did a one night only performance.
It blew me away - never before did I even consider him to listen to his music. He is a born showman and performer and as a rock singer is fabulous. I was rivetted to the TV and I am a classical music man!

Could not record it but I found this famous performance in the Albert Hall 2004 of him singing Maggie May with his mate Ronnie Woods, lead guitarist of the Rolling Stones.

Obviously my sister must have made an impression on him in her distant past.
