. . . for Wrist Scan! Our theme this week is music and concerts. We've explored this subject a few times in the distant past, and overdue for another go-around. A few weeks ago, a song came on the radio that I hadn't heard in almost fifty years. All of a ...
. . . recently sued the Trump campaign for using Rockin' in the Free World at political rallies. If you forward to 1:28' 45" you'll hear the first live performance of Young's anthem, days after it was written over thirty years ago. Art
... would give an additional enjoyment to the listening my dear friend Nicolas! Not easy to choose a favorite among them each with some particular charm and attractiveness. The JLC repetition is a Dream, the FF and T-R as well. Without mentioning your Sub...
. . . I am, Nicolas - at lowest left, with right arm upraised . . . . . . on my 24th birthday, Los Angeles Coliseum. And, if you've got the time, here's a soundboard . . . . . . of that show. Almost forty years later - what memories! ...
I had a shot at playing keyboards, but I was so hopeless at it that I gave up quickly. The good thing that came from it was that it changed the way I listen to music. Music is one of those few things that are really important to me in life. Today I mostly...
. . . for the re-issue of Goat's Head Soup. The Stones have more great unreleased songs than many bands have released. Here's another: Obviously not Ricky Nelson Stoned forever, Art
What a song! I absolutely love it. Unfortunately it is not on Goats Head Soup and also not on Sticky Fingers box set. Maybe not on an album for Germany/Europe?
. . . as lead guitarist. Why it was never officially released is a mystery but it's fortunate for the band they didn't as it would never sound quite right performed in concert with Woody and Keith exchanging licks. I was fortunate to see Mick Taylor reuni...
. . . a serious case of projection, Count! Believe it or not, I wanted to be . . . . . . a Miracle. Guess I'm more of a back-up than a front man kinda guy. ;-)
... even if being a music lover myself I’m not very fond of assisting to concerts. Anyway I have assisted to some memorable ones held here in my Country: in 1993 I took my very young children to concerts of Michael Jackson and Madonna two personalities wh...
... this is a most important watch for me. Bought brand new at a local AD in 1977 it has served during several decades as my only watch. Now retired for security reasons I wear it only from time to time. Abrazos amigo mio!
Abel, I missed the opportunity to see him live, a fabulous artist and one of my all time favourites. Can you tell us anything more about the concert ? Kind regards The Captain
Yes, with much pleasure will tell you about it. It’s a very interesting story indeed with much intrigue and many controversial events around it. Will write something tomorrow and add it in this thread. I’m sure you’ll like to know it. Best! Abel
In August 1981 Argentina was in the last stages of one of the darkest and bloodiest chapters of its history. In those years it was ruling a military "de facto" government which had been directing our Country since 1976 and would led to the unfortunate dec...
Was so enjoyable to read dear Abel. That must have been a great experience. You were still lucky get the opportunity to see the show. Fascinating, thank you.
. . . (who doesn't?), and acknowledge his vocal talents as unsurpassed. Nat King Cole was perhaps his only peer. One of his more celebrated songs is . . . . . . It Was A Very Good Year . Practically everyone believes it was written for him. It was actuall...
... Agree with you about Nat King Cole. Cole also visited my Country but much earlier in 1959 and he surprised his local audience singing a tango in Spanish in his inimitable charming voice. He was well known here both for his songs in English and a few i...
. . . to what turned out to be his last performance in Los Angeles, but Dad had surgery months before, and was in no shape to go. He was one of the last . . . . . . great singers of the 20th century.
... and here in my Country he was truly revered as his songs were so popular. He came here many times but for one reason or another I could not attend his show till the last visit. My daughter bought the tickets as a present for our marriage anniversary s...
... as a matter of fact I had to change them three times till they were very hard to find the originals and decided to use different non original ones. These Nato look very attractive I felt. Thank you again! Best, Abel
These would have graced the events,if i had them then but these two went with me then,sadly neglected now still ,it was a lot of enjoyment,watches and events1 ...
Hi Art and friends, I have always been a fan of Bowie, an artist in every sense of the word. To be truly great in the music business you need to be inventive and very creative to remain relevant and he certainly had that. Even at the end of his life Black...
youtu.be Unfortunately the video above ends just before Keith Richards strikes his first chord of "Honky tonk women" that goes through my spine, especially after that energetic intro. ...
1. Horowitz playing Chopin's Ballade in G minor. 2. Danish singer/songwriter/musician Tina Dico and the track "He Doesn't Know" 3. The Who and "Won't Get Fooled Again" or "Behind Blue Eyes" (saw them perform it) 4. And the greatest rock and roll guitar in...
. . . Behind Blue Eyes . . . Sagacious? . . . it was used as a background track to a slide show crafted by one of my high school classmates. The subject? Richard Nixon. The year, 1973 - during Watergate. "No one knows what it's like to be the bad man, To ...
The favourite track of us kids in our block to break brake dance on it. Fits to all moves of break dance perfectly. Around that time we had an Omega AD in the area and I was thinking :"Man, are these great watches ... and expensive!". ...
The moon walk asks for body control and coordination. It was the hardest move to get our brains behind it as kids: we didn't go to dancing classes, we were all autodidacts. We learned break dance exactly the way kids in America were doing: watching the mo...
It’s ‘Long, long, long’ by the Beatles. As for watches, it’s a fun pair for this weekend, which completely do not relate to the song but these are what I have with 🤷🏻♂️ Great theme, Art and a great weekend to everyone 👍🏻 ...
From Russia with love 😁 Designed by Emir Kusturica, in-house automatic movement, the basic design elements were from the Raketa Copernicus from the 1960s 👍🏻
