yeah, it’s good.

I always imagined the song to be rough, full of character.

But it’s interesting.

Not sure what the best version is..maybe the louis armstrong/ella fitzgerald??

It’s lovely, Ms M, and you know it!

Dancing around the ballroom wiht fixed smiles on their faces, people would dissolve into tears at the sound of this man’s voice.

And to think of those gravelly-voiced black men with their lewd lyrics and erotic rhythms at the same time.

Only four or five  years later, Louis Armstrong at his height sang this…[Read more]

Such a suitable title for the thread, mister q.

Now here’s another legend, awesome music, clean lyrics, open for synth in your mum’s house aka your studio.

The haunting, awesome voice starts at 1 minute into the vid and the only word I can think of is awesome.

An awesome band, too. And an awesome song.

When music was music, love was love, and…[Read more]

that’s for sure, jn.

And once you have a friend, they stick around for you, though thick and thin.

Unfortunately, empty air-heads like q tend to be easier to attract, and they tend to stick around, too.

checked out my posts for the last two or three days.

Never said anything remotely similar to what you accuse me of mister q?

You on the orange juice again?

My dad died beside Blackpool.

One of several admirable characteristics about you is that you stick up for friends.

Don’t get swell-headed, as you seem to be a very complex character, full of positive and negative characteristics?? That is not meant as an insult, but a sort of compliment. At least,…[Read more]
