Music

[Louis the fly]

Whenever I hear certain music and songs it takes me back in time.

Early Beatles songs are memories of Oz and Kiwi.

Satisfaction by the Stones...... Penang.

Jimi Hendrix..........Isle of Wight.

Argentina by Elaine Page.........a mission where I was staying in Salford.

Bee Gees ..........Oregon and Vancouver.


It goes on & on.

I think you will find it was The Dave Clark Five who sang "Glad all Over" The Honeycombs big hit was "Have I The Right".

Anything by the WHO. Fantastic documentary on Sky last week showing archive footage of the Detours-High Notes-The Who (same band).
Footage of Kieth Moon who really made the Who the band it was.
Saw them at the Isle of Wight along with Hendrix and also at Blackpool Opera House.
Any Led Zepplin song reminds me of Vancouver where I saw them for the first time.
Everlasting Love by the ???? reminds me of Falmouth where during an unscheduled repair stop there I met a stunner of a Cornish lass. Our relantionship must have lasted all of the 1 week we spent there doing engine repairs.

The Silence...

















About six miles from Maastricht, in the Netherlands, lie buried 8,301 American soldiers who died in "Operation Market Garden" in the battles to liberate Holland in the fall and winter of 1944-5. Every one of the men buried in the cemetery, as well as those in the Canadian and British military cemeteries, has been adopted by a Dutch family who mind the grave, decorate it, and keep alive the memory of the soldier they have adopted. It is even the custom to keep a portrait of "their" American soldier in a place of honor in their home. Annually, on "Liberation Day," memorial services are held for "the men who died to liberate Holland." The day concludes with a concert. The final piece is always "Il Silenzio," a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of Holland's liberation. It has been the concluding piece of the memorial concert ever since.











This year the soloist was a 13-year-old Dutch girl, Melissa Venema, backed by André Rieu and his orchestra (the Royal Orchestra of the Netherlands). This beautiful concert piece is based upon the original version of taps and was composed by Italian composer Nino Rossi.











Watch at this site and go full screen. It's very beautiful and moving.

Sailor and Walking to New Orleans remind me of my very early days. Any thing by Jeromy Taylor or Trini Lopez of Cape Town and Glad all Over, the Gut in Malta and the Beatles of Melbourne. We were there when they arrived in 1964.
