What are you listening to in 2024 ?

Bee Gees​

Holiday 1967​

I always liked this song. But reading the lyrics I just now realized it makes no sense.
"
It's something I thinks worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If not then you're throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones"

Oh. Okay...sure. Excuse me but, What puppet would that be?

 
If you watched the Peter Jackson - Get Back video, then you might enjoy seeing a documentary of the chaos that The recording of Abbey Road entailed


And then here's the 2nd side of that masterpiece



 
I am an enormous fan of Transatlantic sessions. I think I have every video they ever made. Aly Bain the lead fiddler.. ( in the brown jacket for those who don't know ).. is not only an exceptional violinist ( he calls himself a fiddler)..but is the nicest man. He and his regular musical partner Phil Cunningham who is mostly renowned for playing accordion.. are 2 of the most self effacing.. sweet , talented guys in the country..

I have had the pleasure of having met them socially several times, and had a drink after a show with them on two occasions.. and taken photographs of them, they happily pose for photos for their fans...
