One further share from the video of the Bands visit to Jönköping in 1990. Before sharing a wee story about this one I must credit my younger daughter, Alice, for doing such a good job of getting the video from VHS to mp4 (don’t want to get told off like last week 😉)
Year: 2021
Doon the Watter
Well, folks seemed to like Kenneth McKellar the other day – so here is a real “blast from the past”.
Happy (belated) Birthday, Phil
Today – a gentle Scottish waltz.
To The Hebrides
There are many pieces of music in the classical repertoire that are connected – one way or another – to Scotland. Dating from an earlier time than the Bruch that I shared on Tuesday is this famous overture.
Holocaust Memorial Day
Taking a detour away from the Scottish theme today to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.
A Magic Violinist
Continuing the scottish theme today…
This is How To Play the Cymbals
A bonus share tonight – specially for all percussionists who feel that they spend a lot of time doing nothing!!
A Voice Fit For Rabbie
Today it has to be the words of Robert Burns – and here is a voice from my childhood to sing them. Kenneth McKellar even sang at the Eurovision song contest!
The Band Sings
One more clip from the video of the Band’s visit to Jönköping in 1990. I may share another one on here, but the plan is to make the whole video available via the Band’s website (for anyone who is interested) once I have processed it all.
Good Judgement
This tune reminds me of my university days – and watching day time TV 😃 – no streaming services back then and very few channels to choose from.
