It’s My Chat is 101:
Still: We Can’t meet in our Folk Club: And I know So Many of US: Are So missing THE FOLK CLUB. So Much: I just hope I can bring you some memories of Happier Days with My Music Selections:
So Where to start?: It is Officially Autumn
So Put this in:
Eva Cassidy – Autumn Leaves 4.55
Oh that was Good: But How Do I follow That?:
Well: Ed Sheeran also has a Song called AUTUMN LEAVES
Put in:
Autumn Leaves – Ed Sheeran 3.32
I just Got to say: EVA WINS For Me. BUT, ED Got some real
Write-Ups for this Song; and His Gentle Guitar work.
And Now for a Real Oldie; a vintage Singer Who was always a Top favourite of mine; way back from 1950’s.
Put In:
Jo Stafford, Autumn Leaves (1950) 2.34
Yes real vintage: When THAT was As She Sang it. (No Editing) in those days. Oh Joe was just GREAT.
Now just listen to Jo sing this:
Put in:
“MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT” JO STAFFORD (BEST HD) 3.07
Remember: ONE TAKE!! WOW!! What a Singer, And some real good Orchestration work.
Oh those Oldies:. We should Not forget how good some of them
Were/Are. There are a lot of those Great Guys (No longer with Us);
That have left Great songs for US to listen to;
See what you think of this from a long time ago?.
This guy is still alive.. Is a GREAT Favourite of mine;
Put in:
Ian Tyson Cowboys Don’t Cry. 3.30
Superb Singer; and He wrote many of his songs himself:
I always want to hear more Of Ian. And this is one of the very best He ever recorded: And Remember He Wrote it as well.
Put in:
Ian Tyson – Someday Soon 3.45
This is one of My TOP Favourites of ALL Times;
And; NO One Sings it Better than Ian himself.
Now a change of mood.. Something Gentle.. This is an Old Roy Orbison Song.. But listen what it sounds like as a Guitar SOLO:
Put in:
Ricky King – California Blue 4.00
Good Song.. One of Roy Orbisons best: OK NOT FOLK..
But Great to listen to.
And: I have some Gentle melodies to keep thatsoothing gentle Mood going.. Memories of Happier days when you could maybe have lazy days on some lovely Greek island.
Oh Memories: And I have the Perfect Music to remind Us of gorgeous days; now just Memories.
Put In:
Perigali – Mikis Theodorakis 4.07
Total Magic.
But We are Drifting… Let Us get back to chatting about Folk and where the future will lead us?? In Rays Chat Number 84: I played you New Guy called CALUM SCOTT.
and said I would be wanting to hear him again… and so
Put this in:
Calum Scott & Ilse DeLange – You Are The Reason | Live bij Radio 358 (2018)3.28
That was good for me. What Did You Think??
That was Something NEW. .Now Let’s have Something Older.
AND: This is a rather Special recording from earlier days.
It is Joni Mitchell. Singing Her Own Song..
But much slower than usual..
And WOW!! It is good.
Put In:
Joni Mitchell – Both Sides Now(HD) 5.29
That is just GREAT: And: That is VERY Difficult to Follow:
But: I do know another newer lady with a gorgeous voice.
Who I feel sure would be just SO good at filling this spot.
Put in:
Katie Meluha My Love 3.35
Just beautifully sung
Oh Thanks Katie
That Gentle song makes me think of another Lady with a gorgeous voice.. She was: One of the best of the Lady FOLK Singers:
Always So Good to listen to: But: Sadly, No longer with us:
Listen to this gentle song.
Put in:
Eva Cassidy – Nightbird 6.17
Superbly sung
Eva was one of the GREATEST.
And: That is So Difficult to follow: We need something gentle;
I think this might be what we need…Just Gentle Piano Music.
No not Folk. But this guy is just Magic atpiano playing
Put in:
ERNESTO CORTAZAR – Mi Amor por ti 4.44
Now; Some gorgeous Music: One song has kept Coming Back to Me; since First Played it to you in RAYS CHAT 81.
I Just love this Oh So Gentle recording: And. So I am going to End with it. This guy is one of the Worlds Greatest Guitarist..
and his gentle playing is just Magic for me.
So: Maybe you should go sit in your favourite chair and relax, with Maybe with a glass of wine?? And just sink into this gentle music:
Put in:
RY . CANCION MIXTECA. 4.17
