MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

[Dona Ferentes]

Thanks for putting up link to Bon Scott that was on Australian Story;

.... and an easy to read print version:

'To this day, I don't think there's a rock and roll singer in the world that can hold their own against him'

Four decades after Bon Scott was found dead in London, the enigmatic AC/DC star's closest friends and relatives have spoken of his greatest vulnerability.

The Europeans need waking up with their Song Contest.

Too many snoozers through to the final but these two no go. Must've been too energetic for the judges or something.....

Some nice easy listening music to start your day.....

Ukraine was London to a brick... and it coulda been a toothless hog farmer bashing two saucepans together, mouthing unintelligible gibberish (personal opinion).

Yep, Eurovision is what it is. Some questionable music, stage presence and a bit of politics thrown in determines the winner.

Personally I'd have picked this one musically:

Remember The Captain and Tennile? Haven't been able to get this song out of my head for two days now!

Remember this ?

They went and jammed a respectable version of this... Not a dry eye in the whole pub.

Years ago (and lost touch with these people unfortunately), we had some friends who ran a horse magazine, but who were also music producers. Through them we met this bloke:



Anyway @macca , one night he pulled out his guitar and started singing ballads his grandfather wrote in Ireland. Wish I could have recorded it because it remains one of the most memorable moments of my life.

Did the Monitors use keyboards? (I'll show myself out...)

LOL .... Just happened across your post @Smurf1976

I have not listened to Nita Strauss apart from via the odd Alice Cooper tune where I didnt know it was her.

Off the back of your above tune (Which sounds very "System of a Down" , who I find very interesting)

I had a quick listen to Nita play The Star Spangled Banner. I'm an old rocker from way back, and I can assure everyone,

This little lady knows how to play!

She's one of the few who can both play the music and get the crowd hyped up at the same time.

On a quieter note, the best thing to come out of France IMO Paul Mauriat master of easy listening orchestral background music, great for something in the background. It can't always be rock and roll, well some may want a change, while sitting on the balcony with the nearest and dearest and a nice wine, just before the begging begins. ?

When the kids are away and you have prepared that candle lit dinner, for your special lady, there is nothing like pan flutes playing their dulcet tones in the background George Zamfir is the master.



I wish I had known all this $hit in the mining towns as a kid, I would have nailed it, or been beaten the crap out of.
Jeez I wish I had known it in the first 20 years of my marriage, my success rate would have been much higher IMO, but four kids was too many anyway. ?

Oh.... Is that what I've been doing wrong.....

Might depend on the individuals involved since I have distinct memories of Ms Smurf crowd surfing, topless, at a concert once.

Not this actual performance but same band and song. Definitely no pan flutes here....
