I wondered , I guessed and I tried - You saw the whole of the moon !!!


I just remembered how I used to listen to these albums in the 80's...

Listen to Mike Scott - Even in 2007 ,
His voice still amazing!!!

I've been to Hollywood I've been to Redwood...


There are certain singers whose voices I never tire of.

No one else can sound like them.

e.g Van Morrison, Prince, Joe Cocker, the Beatles, Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones...and Neil Young.

I this rare clip Neil digs around in his pockets trying to find the right harp and then plays a new song...Heart of Gold.

Classic in lie show...

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme - Beautifull Song

This famous song is a classic one.

It is about the famous Fair in Ireland and it is based on the Irish folk song.

Video Of Simon & Garfunkel - 'Scarborough Fair' The Concert in Central Park :



Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme lyrics :

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Washes the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Travis - The Boy With No Name


During the late '90s, after Blur and Radiohead were the U.K. biggest Bands and Oasis disappeared , British-pop fans turned to Travis, who was actually more like the Little Band from Scotland.

Travis unassumingly pretty folk pop , gives you melodic moments that reminds old days.

Travis always puts out quality music and I'm always surprised at how they can top their last album!

They keep on giving us better and better music.
Easy to listen to - easy to sing along with - and so entertaining.
