For Richard

Working on the assumption that if even one user takes pleasure from these tunes then they were worth the trouble of linking to, here's a song for Richard Brookbank/Ruth Pattison and another for Peter

Busy Doing Nothing

I've just watched an excellent show on BBC I-Player called '50s Britannia'.

This Isn't The Done Thing, But When The Mermaid Smiles

A signature should be something that makes people think.
But I can't keep this to myself.

Not when the mermaid smiled.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

It's not what it looks like. I'm not that sad.

The Geese And The Ghost

Strange things happen to you on this site. You read a story by a new author and you think hmmm, that wasn't bad.

I know that sometimes we all get down on life.

This song and video by Colin Raye really says it all. Life is precious and every one lost, lessens us all. Watch the video, listen to the words and take them to heart.

A Little Princess

If anyone happens to be in the Northern California region, come and see our production of a new musical theater adaptation of Francis Hodgson Burnett's "A Little Princess" at the Sacramento Theatre Co

Oftentimes I find myself jealous of others, for a myriad of things. I suppose girls with similar... "problems" as mine do, too. When life has given you lemons, and you don't know about lemonade... I am a regular Jealous Girl. At least some of the time.

Happy Passach Y'all

To all of the other Jews in this B/C family have a happy Passach. May you dwell on freedom and dignity. May the matzoh not be too binding.

The body language works, too. With proper preparation, he would have no problem passing.

...and we danced

I started my 'career' here with a story about a painfully shy transwoman finding love and life in a festival at Shrewsbury. She was engaged there, took her friends there, saw their own love break out from fear and misunderstanding...and it is this weekend.

There is a leave ban on. I have just finished work, and I was refused time off for the one shift I needed. The train companies also had a bike ban on, which they dropped on August 17th. I should be there, but I can't be. Next year....

[hint to self: shorter skirt next year. Wet grass...]

Jersey Boys

This is from OZ Land - Brisbane Queensland Australia: Just came back from a stage play based on the The Four Seasons-Frankie Vallie - The Jersey Boys.

What a great night!

Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry, Walk Like a Man and lots more.

Did you know, that the BGees (from Brisbane) sent Frankie the music sound track for the movie 'Grease', and he (FV) wrote the words for the song!

If you want a great night out please consider if you like 1960's music, I know I do!

Rock & Roll, Twist, Jive, Limbo, Yes!

Wish You Were Here

Wish You Were Here

Like waves to the shore
part of the ocean
the stars high above
part of the sky

Now I drift to you
I dream of a river
a water so blue
wish I could live there

Wish you were here..

Like the air that I breathe
U'll always be there
the wings that I need
when I wanna fly

Now I drift to you
I dream of a river
a water so blue
wish I could live there

wish you were here.. my loved soul mate !!!
Je t'aime

Only Time

ONLY TIME

Who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose only time

Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies, only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies, only time.

Who can say where the roads meet
That love might be in your heart
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart
Night keeps all your heart.
Who knows, only time
Who knows, only time

Don’t give up because God’s love and
His glory is always there and will

Blind of Love

Blind of love

Everyone wants me to stay away from him
that he is the worst and he doesn’t love me ...
they say I'm blind of love that I can’t see
I don’t care if he has no money, no job or if he is strange
They say he is playing badly and that I’m his game

I must confess that when he kisses me
the world is spinning inside my head,
I close my eyes and I feel his breath,
my blood burning any negative thoughts.

and I trust, I trust, I trust him ..
I believe him when he says he loves me
I think his love will be eternal
I think he's the finest man in the world

Strani Amori

Strani Amori

I'm sorry I have to go away
But I knew that was a lie
How much time lost behind him
What a promise and then never changes
Strange loves that bring trouble
But, in reality, we love each one

An expect to a phone call
the adventure of the illogical
the madness of the magical
a poison without antidote
the bitterness of the ephemeral
just because he is not there

Strange love, fragile
captives also accomplice
Strange love, problematic loves
as you do, as I do

I'm sorry I have to go away
But I knew that was a lie
This time I promised I'll do

Strani Amori

STRANI AMORI

Mi dispiace devo andare via
Ma sapevo che era una bugia
Quanto tempo perso dietro a lui
Che promete e poi non cambia mai
Strani amori mettono nai guai
Ma, in realtà, siamo noi

E lo aspetti ad un telefono
Litigando che sai libero
Con il coure nel lo stomaco
Un gomitolo nell’angolo
Lì da sola, dentro un brivido
Ma perchè lui non c'è

Strani amori, fragili
Prigionieri, liberi
Strani amori che non sanno vivere
E si perdono dentro noi

Mi displace devo andare via
Questa volta I’ho promesso a me
Perché voglia di un amore vero
Senza te

Nice Video

Maybe some of you are like me, a good song can change my mood, so I share with you this beautiful video that fills me with joy. Enjoy it you too. I was not privileged with a beautiful voice to sing, but likely I can dance like the small pet in the video. Isn’t it lovely ? Hugs.

I HOPE YOU DANCE

I hope you dance

I hope you never lose
Your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger

May you never take one
Single breath for granted
God forbid love everLeave you empty handed

I hope you still feel
Small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes
I hope one more opens

Promise me that you will give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice, to sit it out or dance
I hope you Dance

Tom Gabel of Against Me! Comes Out as Transgender

I thought this might interest some of you folks. However, his (her) name means nothing to me. I haven't a clue about his person, their group or their music

Any musicians around?

You may remember several weeks ago, one of Bailey Summers' original songs from Jem got a very positive reception. At the time, only the lyrics existed.

When I read it, I started to get the inklings of a tune, and with Bailey's permission, have attempted writing some music for it (my first attempt at composing since GCSE Music in 1993-95!). Bailey approves, so now the next stage is to publish it here, in the hope we've got some arrangers / musicians / singers who can take Bailey's words and my melody / chords, and work some magic with them.

JEM CHAPTER 30 PART 3!

Okay...I don't generally advertise my stories here but...since part 2 is doing so amazingly well and part 3 is done. I Will Be posting it later this evening/night once I get home from my family commitments.

2 new songs and tear prone sweet hearts be warned, you'll need the tissues:)

*Great Big HUGS all:)*
Bailey.

C’est ècrit

C’est ècrit

Elle te fera changer
La course des nuages
Balayer tes projets
Vieillir bien avant l’âge
Tu la perdras cent fois
Dans les vapeurs des ports
C’est écrit…..

Elle n'en sort plus
De ta mémoire
Ni la nuit, ni le jour
Elle danse derrière
Les brouillards
Et toi, tu cherches, et tu cours

Et tu rêves, tu rêves….
Qu'est-ce qu'elle aime
Qu’est-ce qu’elle veut
T’en passeras des nuits
À regarder dehors
C'est écrit....

Et ses ombres qu'elle te
Dessine autour des yeux
Et ces ombres qu’elle te
Dessine autour des yeux

Poetry

C'est de la poésie

Puisqu’on ne vivra
Jamais tous les deux
Puisqu’on est fou
Puisqu’ils sont
Si nombreux
Memê la morale
Parle pour eux
J’aimerais quand
Memê te dire
Tout ce que j’ai
Pu ècrire
Je l'ai puisè à
I’ en cre de tes yeux

Unanticipated Astonishing Blessing!

The most profoundly thrilling thing in life for me is music and in almost every genre from Apalachian Hill Country, to Tabla Turbo to Kathrine Jenkins to ZZ Top to Queen to Handel and I likes it loud enough for my subwoofer to make nail pops in my walls. My soul soars with the angels.

Nothing Is as Rare as a Day in May, er February

Today is February 29:

Rossini's birthday

Gilbert & Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance" is based on February 29

"The Family Circus debuted

A woman can propose to a man. Irish legend says St. Bridget & St. Patrick made a bargain for that.

And of course, today is Sadie Hawkins Day, an invention of Al Capp

Who Wears Short Shorts - List Posted Songs Musicals

To all of those interested I posted a list of all the songs, Groups, Broadway Musicals, Composers, DJs and characters that are in my story, Who Wears Short Short Shorts?

It can be found as a comment to the story. Please pardon the way it looks, but my carefully constructed chart failed to make the transfer from Excell to the site.

Thanks for reading the story, the comments, the P.M.s and the Kudos.

Rami

For the rest of us...

As an antidote to all the soppy romantic songs that will be filling the airwaves today, here's a few for the benefit of the happy singletons among us:

Females (pretty unambiguous!)

Males (yes, it's as cheesy as heck, but there aren't many from a male POV!)

In general (miles better than the original soundtrack!)

Klaatu

I was thinking the other day about the band Klaatu. I grew up on their music, and I find I miss it even now. I'm not really sure why it spoke to me the way it did, but somehow, it reached me in a way that few other bands have ever managed. Its too bad they didnt have a bigger following, but maybe that was part of the appeal.

Alien: Just feeling a little sad and blue

(this is a Working Girl blog)

I can't sleep. And I'm feeling blue tonight, perhaps appropriate for a... Well, I don't really know my status is now, given my current... situation. Our parish priest back home hasn't said, one way or another. I'd like to think he did that for me, but I don't really know.
