Oh Dear ..

Good Night

Good Morning

Saturday Swinging

Another mixed bag weatherwise. Dull and overcast, some rain and little in the way of sunshine. After listening to some music by Scott Walker this morning I walked into town to sell some books at Past Sentence. I also found a couple of CDs with the proceeds from the sale I made at Kate's bookshop.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon (EMI)
The Be Good Tanyas - Hello Love ((Nettwerk)

Getting the Floyd CD for a quid was a bonus!

I walked back and found a few free books somebody had put outside of their house with "Take Free" notice in the box of books. I have five books to add to the collection. More on them later.

Bah Samba

Following on from coming42 posting Portuguese Love by Teena Marie here is the other version that I use to play often back in the noughties down at the Northern Lights.

Bah Samba - Portuguese Love

Alice Russell is on vocals.
In early 1996 Julian Bendall, Kevin Alexander and Geoff Holroyd (the surnames of which make up the Bah) formed a loose group of naturally talented musicians to play live and maybe record a few songs whilst experimenting with the fusion of traditional musicianship, dance, and modern recording techniques at Midi. In fact, I knew Julian well as he also drank at The Evening Star pub, my local in Brighton.

This track was on their 2005 album Bah Samba 4 and the track was on single as well and 12" with remixes including Jazzanova's version.

They also did this one with Roy Ayers no less - and I had that direct from Julian one day straight after the pressing was done. Yep, hot of the press!

One of the most subtle and beautiful of all of John Dowland's songs. It expresses the paradox of the beauty that can lie in sadness.
