Although as you know I mostly ignore the words, I like this for them.
I was lost driving in Gothenburg one night, bucketing down and only wanted to get back home (Borås) and this came on and I just wanted to know what it was. It took a couple of years until I did.
The irony is that we had two LPs in the studio, Country Joe & The Fish 'Here We Are Again' and Travellin' by The Savage Rose. Didn't connect that with this.

Try this for size then Mick.


From a ballet, "The Triumph Of death". Only instrumental piece that they do I believe.
All the members of the group are classically trained but Anisette is the primary focus. One of the few sixties bands still going.

I only listened to one of those 3 Steve , but quite enjoyed that I have to say. I am having a mooch around my musical history at the moment so there is no telling what may pop up!!

The tune that launched a thousand hours of practice - well it felt like that ! I took up the clarinet at school when I heard this and wanted to play it. I began in 1964 and could play it by the 1966 world cup! Over the years I have revisited it many times including buying a backing track and recording it myself with my son-in-law's help. He actually makes electronic music and sells it, mainly to the american advert market, as a profitable hobby. I cannot find a copy of that recording but in the meantime it's probably better to listen to the original:

My eldest played clarinet in school so SOTS was compulsory.
Only got the clarinet as there wasn't a flute left for her.
She bought one of her own when she went to uni and still keeps the neighbours awake with it.

I came across this version while looking for a different performance but I think this is well worth a watch!!

Apparently there was a good showing of the Aurora Borealis across much of the country last night

[myglaren]

Aurora Borealis
The icy sky at night
Paddles cut the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man to the fields of green
And the homeland we've never seen
They killed us in our teepees
And cut our women down
They might have left some babies
Cryin' on the ground
But the fire sticks and the wagons come
And the night falls on the setting sun
They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
Taxis run across my feet
And my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little box at the top of the stairs
With my Indian rug and a pipe to share
I wish a was a trapper
I would give a thousand pelts
To sleep with Pocahontas
And find out how she felt
In the mornin' on the fields of green
In the homeland we've never seen
Pocahontas

From Neil Young to A Flock of Seagulls in one effortless bound



"....A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view"
