Thank you very much...

He's gone now. When he was with the Fleetwwod Mac :

Lost my Dad last week. A good man, the best.

The beer ain't as cold
The steak not as tender
The campfire is colder
The mountain doesn't seem like it needs climbing

Our fifty year adventure might be over, but we'll be around that campfire again.....farewell citizen soldier, scholar, but most important, Grampy Ray!

 
This morning I watched on TV the ceremony for the three people who were assassinated a few days ago in Nice by a religious extremist. After classical pieces, I was surprised to hear the choir sing a song in English, but it's become a kind of symbol of resilience and optimism after a very dark period.

Tonight I was browsing though the messages here, the TV was on in the other room, and I heard crowds cheering and overseas correspondents interviewing people, cheering, laughing. The song came back to my mind...


THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
 
Another way of putting rhythm on stage. Hallucinating ! 😄 Saw a video on TV yesterday, found a short clip on youtube :

 
Unearthing this thread.
I like hard rock too, and even some rap! 😄


I really love, feel, the "balanço" in Brasilian music.

The language is so musical too, Brasilian Portuguese sounding even more musical to my ears than the Original, European Portuguese.


But Fado is great too, traditional and "modern fado", the modulations in the voice is not artificial like so many cheap hits of today.

 
Digging out this thread.

One of my new guitars has a rather hard neck, to play with jazz chords. The other one (the Ibanez) I have lent to my son who came for a couple of weeks is much better for finger-picking.

Strumming the chords, we call it "le trousseau de clefs", ("bunch of keys", or soùmething), fun to play when someone sings a tune from the forties :


I love it !
