Updated: George Harrison - My Favourite Beatle - "My Sweet Lord" Live

                                                                 

          

George Harrison deserves a post all to himself! 

Gone, but always remembered.

George Harrison was not my favourite Beatle for nothing. There was something about him.

I cannot quite put my finger on it right now but maybe one day,,,,

He was anything but the ‘quiet Beatle’.

I think the media would like us to believe that George and Ringo were on the ‘outer’ and perhaps they were. 

However, never underestimate anyone! 

You possibly don’t know what they are thinking and you don’t know what their potential is.

George Harrison is/was a legend. To me he “is”!

There is quite a bit of information about George Harrison here.

                   

I highly recommend this movie if you have not already seen it.

Rita Hayworth - The Dancing Queen

                                                                

                                                             

                                                                     

Although I have said before that I love the historical movie genre, here and here,

I also really enjoy old movies, especially musicals. 
 You can’t help but feel some exhilaration watching people dance and sing so skilfully. 

One of the best is “Singin’ in the Rain” – a perennial favourite of mine, and another is “Kiss Me, Kate”. 

To say my taste in music is wide and varied is putting it mildly. 

I have also done a post on Cole Porter as I love his music too.

It is quite obvious that music plays a very important part in ALL movies – any genre you care to name and I won’t even go there now.
No wonder there is an academy award for music scores!

Today my friend Edith sent me a rather interesting clip.

 This features Rita Hayworth, one of the old Hollywood legends who simply don’t exist these days, in my opinion.

 It’s a great combination of modern music and the dancing of several Hollywood legends, especially Rita Hayworth.

Whoever put it together – well done!

Thanks to Edith and Paula for sending me this.

Incredible Piano Solo of Jarrod Radnich - Harry Potter Theme

I wrote about Jarrod Radnich here.

I think he has inspiring talent! 

Here is yet another clip of him playing the theme from the “Harry Potter”movies.

I admit I have not read any of the books, but I have seen all the films. 

Many of the first books I ever read were by Enid Blyton. 

Although she wrote many adventure stores, like “The Famous Five” and “The Secret Seven”, she also wrote many books about goblins, elves, fairies and assorted magical creatures.The “Faraway Tree” books are a perfect example of this.

I also read, and watched the “Narnia” books and films.

Many years later came the “Star Wars” movies.

These are all classic tales of good versus evil – a thing all generations have confronted over the years and will, no doubt, continue to do so.

It is just a shame that we do not have any magical helpers or even superheroes like Superman to look after us! 

I think all the above have contributed to the success of the “Harry Potter” franchise.

Having said all that, watch Jarrod Radnich do a superb rendition of the theme from “Harry Potter”!

Originally uploaded by ThePianoGuys on Jun 7, 2011, this clip is now from Jarrod's You Tube Channel.
 

This is a video we produced of Jarrod Radnich performing his original copyrighted arrangement of Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter. 

This is played in REAL TIME and is not sped up. It is part of his Virtuosic Piano Solo
Series sheet music, which includes suggested fingerings to obtain this speed.
Sheet music and the MP3s for this and other arrangements are available
through Radnich's website:http://www.jarrodradnich.com/store.html.

Jon English : "Dark Horses"

 

                                                    
                                                                    

Note: If you cannot watch the videos on this blog – try this.

                                                                 

There are other posts about Jon English on this blog which can be found with the search function and I have written about Jon English,   before, and also  here.

These are just a few little things that have made me happy during my life. And I know it is pure escapism.

I really love this song, and so many others Jon English has done that I cannot list them all.

The lyrics may mean different things to you than what they mean to me.

It doesn’t matter.

I think they are great lyrics.

Lyrics:

Hitchin' a ride into nowhere, people just killin' some ti-i-ime
Wastin' away with their own life, but wishin' away with their mi-inds
Watch 'em run
Or some folks travel on stowaway, some people flash through the fire
Some like to cruise down the boulevarde, some just go tight as a wire

But they run [all day long]
Dark horses runnin' their own race, makin' their own pace
On and on [on and on]
Usin' the power of the light force, we all ride dark horses who run

Some live the life of a stranger, some never look in your eye-eyes
Some sing and dance to the music, and some close their ears to the noise

But they run [all day long]
Dark horses savin' the last chance for the last dance
On and o-on [on and on]
Usin' the power of the light force, we all ride dark horses, and you -

You can waste your time and place [all day long]
Some place it's always rainin' [on and on]
Everybody needs someone to be someone
And the race is on now, watch 'em run

On and on, runnin' o-on

Oh, some realise their potential, some don't know where to begin
Some see a fire burnin' deep down inside, some the colour of the skin

But they run
Dark horses runnin' for everyone, on and on, oh they ru-un
Usin' the power of a light force, they all ride dark horses who ru-un
Dark horses, power of a hurricane, never twice the same
On and o-on [on and on]
Usin' the power of the light force
Ridin' on and on [all day long]
Dark horses runnin' their own race, makin' their own pace
On and on [on and on]
Usin' the power of the light force
Oh-oh, we all ride dark horses

Thanks to 123 Lyrics

From the album cover notes:

“Oh, by the way “Dark Horses” is a bastardised metaphor meaning loosely; Whatever is possible will be achieved by someone or something least expected. When it happens, however, no one will be surprised...”
