The tide is high - Over the years...

Chances are you first heard this song via Blondie's cover, but here's the real McCoy.

Most of you may have discovered ska through the third wave ska craze about decade ago with the likes of Goldfinger, Sublime, No Doubt, Reel Big Fish among others. However, what I have here is the original incarnation of ska.

This song isn't too rare but still fairly hard to come by.

This isn't really such a deviation from my typical postings, ska is somewhat of a distant cousin of punk if you think about it. This original ska from the 60s. Before Reel Big Fish and Might Mighty Bosstones and even before The Specials. Reggae and ska are branches on the same tree. The sounds and style somewhat overlap, though reggae tends to have a slower pace.

KARDINAL OFFISHALL 'NUMBA 1

Susan Boyle - A true story from Les Miserable

Susan Boyle , 47 Year old , stunned the judges with her performance in the auditions for Britains Got Talent, singing

I dreamed a dream from Les Miserables.

She is absolutely brilliant.

I felt that we just saw a performance for free where she should have been paid.

Shewas unemployed and deserves to be paid for an absolutely stunning performance.

I heard that SONY offered her a contract for a new album...
good Luck !!!

Here are the Lyrics:

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, No wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.
And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms We cannot weather...
I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell
I'm living So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed The dream I dreamed.

Taylor Swift - Tell Me Something

Taylor Swift is a very talented and beautiful young lady.

Her voice is just beautiful and I love how she handles herself.

Its nice to have someone like her for kids to look up to.

I am also impressed how she has taken a hand in writting the songs.

Credence Clearwater - Fortunate Son

Creedence never die.

I'm a big fan of CCR music.

I'm realy enjoying the first achords of Creedence Clearwater Revival.

I saw Fogerty three times in concert and it brings back memories from those shows.

The sound is excellent and the Live and Pre-CCR material make this set a worthwhile listening...
