Can`t you hear girls screaming in the background??? ;D ;D ;D ;D I had planned to ask if the Village People's 'YMCA' was known in Poland. Thanks to youtube, I was able to answer my own question... uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ap1TM7Ep_RsGreat performance! ;D ;D ;D This song was a big hit here, and to this day it is still played at school dances, weddings, etc. where people dance, sing, and form the letters Y M C A with their hands and arms. I remember roller skating to the song (and yes, forming the letters too). Thank goodness there isn't any video of that! This is just great. As a teacher, I do appreciate such fooling around. I can also admire it in my school. PS. YMCA was very popular in Poland too, before the war. After the war it ws banned by communists as a Western organization. Its property was taken over.

I hope that next year, when there will be no single particle of dust anymore to hoover, you'll post some pics or tunes or anything. I miss it! Tufta, I heard this song the other day and it made me smile for two reasons - it is a great song (love the guitar and the way Ann Wilson draws out the word barracuda), and it brings back memories of the car I drove as a teenager, which was the Dodge version of the Plymouth Barracuda. uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hpkitLUbeEgGigi,great memory I think this is how the music works for me, too. It suddenly brings some memory. I never new this band and Ann Wilson. The guitars very much remind, or even resemble, the way Led Zeppelin played in this song uk.youtube.com/watch?v=j6F5U_fgLOABTW. Dodge has entered a Polish market lately and I see more and more of their cars around

Gigi,great memory I think this is how the music works for me, too. It suddenly brings some memory. I never new this band and Ann Wilson. The guitars very much remind, or even resemble, the way Led Zeppelin played in this song. Yes, that Led Zep song has the same "galloping" sound with the guitar. The change at 8:27 is cool! BTW. Dodge has entered a Polish market lately and I see more and more of their cars around I am not a big Dodge fan, although I suppose if I had to I could drive this one:

I am getting old and sentimental. I love not only this music but also the film to it. A wonderful song from the French film Amelie with an interesting computer-made story. pl.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr64NI33qUoAnother great piano music from the film The Piano, composed by Michael Nyman. No words can render its beauty. There are scenes from the film too. This soundtrack was probably the first of all I started buying in 90s. pl.youtube.com/watch?v=0Su8LXNS16A&feature=related

Roberto "Bobby" Alfonso Farrell, the male member of well known group Boney M, has died in St Petersburg of unknown causes. He was 61. Farrell left Aruba at age 15 to become a sailor. He lived in Norway and the Netherlands before moving to Germany where he worked mostly as a DJ. Producer Frank Farian recruited him for Boney M and he was the group's sole male singer. Farrell lived in Amsterdam. His death, in a St Petersburg Hotel was sudden, since he performing with his band yesterday.The peak of their career was in late 1970s/early 80s, I was a teenager at a primary school then, I went to school discos where their songs were played. We learnt English from such songs as Rivers of Babylon when we tried to sing it during breaks or boring lessons. It sounded so exotic to us/me ..... To se ne vrati..... Pity. Thank you, Bobby. Other hits by Boney M: Ma Baker about a gang woman from Chicago.

For a long time I have kept to myself my hard and metal rock interests. But the visit by Rik Fox, an ex guitarist in WASP, provoked me to reveal my true beliefs on music. Yes, heavy metal rules!
I started listening to hard/metal rock in early 1980s. I was in a high school. Foreign albums were unavailable or very expensive in Poland at the time (monthly salary in Polish zlotys amounted to about 20$), but every week at 6pm on Tuesday on Radio Station 4 a guy called Marek Gaszyński played heavy music for one hour. Simply, he took an album and broadcast it with very good stereo quality. Nobody cared for copyright then, Poland was behind Iron Curtain, they could do what they wanted. After a few years, I had about 60 high quality tape recordings with the best what metal invented in 80s. And they were golden times for metal then, because the one played today sucks, I must say.
My best of WASP, 1984, I wanna be somebody.

my newest musical exploit is bluegrass.. via the dead, btw.. i love the really old stuff... appalachia music. I also like Bluegrass and have since my twenties. Growing up, my kids turned their noses up at it, but then one of my daughters, who is musically inclined (unlike the rest of us in the family) went to college in North Carolina and really, really got into the Appalachian music. One of the courses she took at the college was called 'Old Time Singing'. It was great, and before she graduated she and a young man who was very talented recorded a CD with a ton of old Appalachian songs on it. I love it! I would like to resurrect this old topic for a moment and share this Bluegrass performance with you. 'Nelly Cane' is one of my favorites, and my daughter recorded it on a CD she and a talented young man made in college. But this version really, really is true and good Bluegrass:

Wow! I have just read that Bruce Dickinson, the vocalist of my fav metal group, Iron Maiden, is also an airline pilot, apart from being a English singer, airline pilot, fencer, broadcaster, author, director, screenwriter, actor, marketing director, entrepreneur and songwriter best known as the vocalist of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden.
Aviation
Dickinson holds a commercial pilot's licence, and regularly flies Boeing 757 charter jets for the UK charter airline Astraeus, where he is employed as marketing director[29] and captain.[30][31] In mid-2006, Dickinson flew about 200 UK citizens home from Lebanon during the Israel/Hezbollah conflict.[32] On 12 February 2007, Dickinson was given permission to fly Rangers F.C. to Israel for their UEFA Cup game against Hapoel Tel Aviv. Dickinson asked if he could pilot this flight as soon as he found Astraeus had the contract for it. After the collapse of XL Airways UK in September 2008, he piloted an Iceland Express aeroplane and flew home 180 stranded holiday makers from Egypt, as well as a Boeing 757 with a group of British RAF pilots from Afghanistan. "A lot of them recognised him because they are Maiden fans, but he was there in his professional capacity as a pilot," says an RAF spokesman. For their 2008-2009 Somewhere Back in Time World Tour, Iron Maiden chartered a Boeing 757 and had it specially converted to carry equipment for their concerts. Dickinson himself piloted the plane, dubbed "Ed Force One".
Incredible.

We found a great nightclub in Krakow in april 2004 in the Kazimierz disctict. A new wave rock disco or dance place. A Dutch student with Polish parents who spoke Polish fluently and had Polish connections directed us to that place. It was great and we danced there whole night long with the Polish visirtors. I wore my black Motörhead t-shirt back than in that club. I didn`t know or forgot that you were into heavy metal music. Jeah, I was an old hard rocker, fond of rock 'n roll, rythem 'n blues, blues, hard rock, rock music and the better pop music. (If I have a taste in music, and that is a matter of perspective. I look at it from my own personal subjective point of view). Jimi Hendrix Experience, MC5, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, Seltic Frost, Megadeath, Motörhead, Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Sepultura, Turbo, the Cult and New York Dolls. I was there in that crowd during this live concert of the White Stripes in Lowlands in 2004. It was an electrifying perfomance. A classical hard rock band. This girl is a great drummer. She reminds me of the old AC/DC. I wore my Motörhead t-shirt during that concert.I was at this concert of the Cult in 1992. It was a great concert. This was not the best song.I tend to have an old hard rock base rooted in Jimmy Hendrix, Black Sabbath, MC5, the New York Dolls, Judas Priest and ACDC. Kiss was to soft and mainstream in my taste. But I have some of their albums and like some of their songs.
