What you listening to right now?

S.O.A.D
Just mad!

 

Sting playing the lute.

 

Bet that Geordie’s made a Lute of money though

 

Can’t beat a bit of Nina

 

Is he wearing his doublet and hose? Asking for a friend…..

 

I quite like it. Might buy the gramophone record.

 

And from that album

 

Love? Love! Love?

 

Is it that Tales From The Labyrinth with that Czech (or Polish? I can’t recall) fella?

 

It is. A bit odd, but strangely soothing. Wor Gordy hasn't got a bad voice.

 

I have that album, years since I played it. Must have a listen again. And I just checked. The other chap is Bosnian lutenist Karamazov. Wonder if he has a brother?

 

Boris Kalashnikov?

I do like old Stingy. He gets a bit pretentious, but he is an immensely talented fellow. Worth a watch of his interview with Rick Beato. Once he realises Beato's not going to ask the same old tedious questions, he actually becomes quite...likeable. Dominic Miller's not a bad guitarist either.

 

Bing Crosby on T`Claire Teal show - Jazz FM ...

Lovely Sunday evening vintage chill , highly recommended

(She`s from Yorkshire tha nos ...)

 

I like Claire. She went to the same school as my trouble n strife, not same year though I think. Her big band show on R2 was one of my Sunday evening highlights

 

Agreed , the big band show was my Sunday evening treat , Radio 2 missed a trick when they dropped her 7-9pm slot and Jazz FM took her on . Hee `new` Jazz show has a much broader playlist - just listened to the original 1949 `Hucklebuck` followed by Nina Simone .

Radio 2 is dire at the moment , getting the yoof in there innit ..
