The fear is gone I'm sitting here waiting The gun's still warm taken from the song twilight zone, by my favorite Dutch band ( started 1961 ...) who sadly stops due to the passing of their guitarplayer ( RIP George) my first concert was early 70ies and my last concert will be their farewell one Friday next, ending a 5 day goodbye concert set to friends and fans in Rotterdam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz5l2_ezvyY FYI: the lady with the violin is Maud, daughter of Jan Akkerman (Focus; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4ouPGGLI6Q) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKktECKDgIs |
A Man You Don't Meet Every Day
One of my favorite groups.
The poor doggo. :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJt4y4fH938 *sorry about the ads that precedes them. :o Saturday Night. The sound of a switchblade and a motorbike https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhnZEmnuzgM |
I like your choice in music Rick.
How about this one:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwb8C2TijYE his thievin Jenny stole his rapier. |
I love that song, and it's best when played by a traditional band.
The vocalist (his name escapes me) has left us along with Shane Magowan. Both of them 'men you don't meet every day'. :( |
Rick, a lot of music is best played when played by Irishmen, and women too.
