I’m moving from yesterday’s jazz Bach to today’s rock Copland! A ‘treat’ for 70’s rock fans 😃

A Song Of Lost Love
No matter what country you are speaking about there are a huge range of different types of music and Scotland is no exception. However, often much of it is only known and loved within the country itself. I’m sure everyone has their own idea of what “typical” scottish music is 😃 – there may even be some who think shang-a-lang is an old scottish saying of some sort 😂. Perhaps during this short series you will find a different “sound of Scotland” to the one you already were familiar with.
A Norwegian Benediction
Following on from yesterday’s post about the band tour my choice to day is a lovely song that Howard arranged and which we used as a benediction during the visit to Norway. This is not the band arrangement (I don’t have a recording of that) – but I rather like this version.
More Voice
Yes – more a capella – but again a change of style.
A New Day
My daily post is sometimes planned in advance, sometimes I spend a while looking for the ‘right’ choice and sometimes, like today it sort of drops in my lap.
Not Tubular Bells
Another of the “sounds of my youth”. I was going to choose Tubular Bells – but I think I prefer this one. Listen to the music
My Kind Of Pop
Doing these daily posts has reminded me of just how many of my memories have got a musical accompaniment 😀 and today is no exception. The links I am providing give plenty clues as to my musical tastes and for me “going to a concert” when I was younger meant the Scottish National Orchestra (in the days before it became Royal!) proms, or the Edinburgh Festival, or Scottish Opera – you get the idea – that was when I wasn’t playing in concerts myself.
Call Me Al
As I intimated the other day I am choosing this week’s links to be representative of the wide range of more ‘popular’ music that brings back memories.
From Blue Danube Radio
I mentioned the english language cinema in Wien the other day – another part of my life there was the english language radio station – Blue Danube Radio. Due to that I was probably more ‘educated’ on pop music than at any other time in my life.
Skylarking
Those who know me are well aware that when it comes to “popular” music my choices are ‘different’ (I would say perhaps ‘discerning’ would be a better word 😃).
