For you (Edited)
Members of this group have mentioned their favourite songs - this is one of mine -
For You by Judie Tzuke
https://youtu.be/wds903B96V8
I saw her live in an old church at Teddington a few years ago - Just her, her two daughters on backing vocals and a guitarist.
After the show she came out and chatted to the few audience members who had stayed behind to meet her, signed autographs and posed for photos.
Her voice is still amazing but has changed slightly over the years.
In recent years she sang lead vocals on Morcheeba - Enjoy the Ride which is closer to how she sounds nowadays.

Tell us a little bit about your musical tastes if you would like to @TonyL
We welcome a new member today
Hi Charlie please introduce yourself and tell us a little about your musical preferences
Shakin' Stevens hada big hit with a song he wrote called Oh Julie.
In1958 the Crescendos (a US doo wop group) recorded this song entitled Oh Julie. It always reminds me of the Shakin' Stevens song - albeit a slower tempo. Is it my imagination or do you think that Shaky may have been inspired a bit by it?

BBC Radio 3's Composer of the Week
This week's is jazz composer Carla Bley – I've been listening to today's prog with much enjoyment and will catch up on the earlier ones, all available on the BBC site. Anyone else?
I think I've recommended this series elsewhere on Scooploop - music of all genres that has really meant something in people's lives. Some of their stories about how and why are very moving.

I found this version of True Colours, recorded in March 2020 during lockdown when the choir couldn't be in physical proximity to each other, very moving. So are some of the comments below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqWQCWc_zCc

Welcome to our two new members
Welcome Anastasya and Danni
Please tell us something about your musical interests and likes 👍
Anyone remember Clifford T Ward who had a hit in 1973 with Gaye. His singing career probably suffered from his reluctance to do shows on tour. He contracted MS in the 1980s and died of pneumonia in 2001 at the age of 57.
I was reminded of him recently when I heard this lovely song which he wrote and which was tucked away on the B Side of Gaye.

Art & Garfunkel on BBC Sounds (Edited)
Just found this in "Anything", and thought it would be good to post it here.
Hope that's OK!

I have to admit I hadn’t even heard of LP even though she has been around for years and written for an impressive list of singers

Fields of Athenry sung by Kim Bristow
I've just put a four tracked version of the Fields of Athenry up on YouTube, and I thoght you might like to hear it:

I think these two are wonderful

This is there latest on YouTube
Favourite soundtrack albums (Edited)
Just wondering if anyone has a favourite non-musical movie soundtrack album? For me, there's nothing to touch Burt Bacharach's soundtrack album from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The whole album is on Youtube, one track following another.

A poem by Mick Westwood set to music!
Here's my latest offering, and it's me playing 6 string guitar and singing the vocal, with bass guitar dubbed on top again.
I hasten to add that I definitely sang "cock up", but I know it doesn't sound like it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loHkknRVfOQ
I'm hoping to have it ready for open-mic tomorrow evening, but I'm still struggling with the lyrics, and my arthritic fingers won't do what I want them to!
Dear Freddie would have been celebrating his 75th birthday today, so greatly missed.

I guess I could put this one up, as I have put it up else where, but don't be surprised if you hear me singing in a somewhat deep voice!
It's called War!
I'm sure I could do it better, but it needs a lot of practice, I only set it to music last Thursday, and did the audio recording and put it on YouTube the following day!
I think my open-mic set is going to be all protest songs. This one, and one called Bodge it and Scarper, and probably Blowing in the Wind!

I've been quite busy musically the last few days. I discovered a couple of poems by Mick Westwood, on facebook, and I have his approval to set them to music, which I have done. I've been practicing them a lot, and hope to perform them at the next open-mic on Wednesday, but they're not quite good enough for "general release", on YouTube yet.
Watch this space!
As members may have heard Abba have a new single and album out but will be appearing as they were , not as they are, by being filmed in special suits and then overlayed with animations of themselves in 1970’s/80’s
Strange 🤔
