Dallas was also a member of Shadowy men (replacing Reid Diamond who passed away in 2001) - Fans of kids in the hall would recognise Shadowy Men tunes

This is so great. I knew it was a bad idea for Musk to park his car there!

This song is haunting me today and won't leave my head. So warning that given current events it might do the same to you.

In his own words, "“Today,” he said in 2002, “everything just makes me angry, it’s not funny anymore. Things I once thought were funny are scary now. I often feel like a resident of Pompeii who has been asked for some humorous comments on lava.”'

These lyrics ring true.

Watch brinkally and huntally,
Describing contrapuntally
The cities we have lost.

So a song from 1965

Brilliant, today, as it was then. And chilling.

Wars and rumors of war, as it has always been. I feel fine
I guess this applies, too.
But this one has a beat, and I can dance to it.

I always thought the Billy Joel number was a pale imitation of the REM song!

Ralph Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. First performed and conducted by the composer in 1910 in Gloucester Cathedral, this is a work of surpassing beauty by a master of British music of the first half of the 20th century. Try this for a modern performance in the original venue:
For music to sooth the soul and invigorate the spirit it is marvelous.

RIP Gary Brooker, truly a legendary voice...



"Procol Harum frontman Gary Brooker, who led the band throughout their 55-year history and co-wrote and sang their 1967 classic “A Whiter Shade of Pale,” died at his home from cancer on Saturday, Feb. 19. He was 76.

“His first single with Procol Harum, 1967’s ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale,’ is widely regarded as defining ‘The Summer of Love’, yet it could scarcely have been more different from the characteristic records of that era,” Procol Harum said in a group statement. “Nor was it characteristic of his own writing. Over thirteen albums Procol Harum never sought to replicate it, preferring to forge a restlessly progressive path, committed to looking forward, and making each record a ‘unique entertainment’.”

“He lit up any room he entered, and his kindness to a multilingual family of fans was legendary,” they continued. “He was notable for his individuality, integrity, and occasionally stubborn eccentricity. His mordant wit, and appetite for the ridiculous, made him a priceless raconteur (and his surreal inter-song banter made a fascinating contrast with the gravitas of Procol Harum’s performances).”

He came to the University of WI, Madson when I was there. Unfortunately, you can only give plasma twice a week and that was spent on potatoes and ramen noodles.

I had forgotten about him. Thanks for reminding me.
