Josh Rouse & The Long Vacations: "Oh, look what the sun did!"

(yeah: it made the sky turn blue! -- at least in the south of Spain)


Hello lazy morning
Cloud above forming
Oh where could the sun be this afternoon
Oh look what the sun did, it made the sky turn blue
I don’t mind a Monday, staying at home I ain’t going in today
Oh where could the sun be this afternoon
Oh look what the sun did it made the sky turn blue
Hiding he's always hiding his face and shape
Hiding the hills are hiding in Southern Spain
Oh where could the sun be this afternoon
Look out the window now it’s pouring
Happiness comes without warning hey hey hey
Oh where could the sun be this afternoon
Oh look what the sun did it made the sky turn blue
And the sun says I need ya too

Cool song. Also... when that loaded up it displayed an ad for selling and buying used trucks! :D
I bet it was the banjo that did it :D

Baroque concerti cranked up to celebrate a friend's survival of open heart surgery earlier today: I bet even the critters out in the meadow could hear the joy: J.S. Bach, Concerti for Three and Four Harpsichords. Music for a quadruple bypass success!




This CD (J S Bach The Concerts for 3 and 4 Harpsichords) arrived this morning and I am listening to it as I write.

I love this sort of lively Baroque music - and realise that I had some of these tracks on a LP I bought in Strasbourg, oh, a few decades ago.

Thank you, @LizKat for the timely recommendation.

This will be added to my iTunes Library and thence, to my mp3 player.

I likke that a lot!
 
I liked that too, had never seen it before and just bumped into it looking for something else Rouse had recorded.

Loved the bit where he sings "I ain't goin' in today" and the video cuts to him picking up his phone...
 
A few from Blondie: Hanging On The Telephone: Heart of Glass: One Way Or Another among some other tracks.

And now, I am back with Bach, J S Bach, his Toccata in D Minor, to be precise.

I on the other hand am still hangin' in there with Blondie...

Heart of Glass
was the very first one I ever heard of their songs. It's still in some of the playlists on my 2nd gen iPod nanos along with Rip Her to Shreds and a few of their other cynical gems... And now thanks to you I'm immersed in all of Blondie's Parallel Lines album during my dinner prep, having fished the whole thing into Apple Music for the heck of it. I don't mind, it's like getting a dance workout in before dinner. :D

One of my all time favorite music videos, The Killers' Read My Mind. I could play this a million times. I just love it. It shows (or lol spoofs) the personality of each of the band so well and is just such an upbeat video and so fun to watch from start to end. And that little green guy... :)

[doublepost=1559089964][/doublepost]although.... this one is a close runner-up...

Paganini - Violin Concerto No. 3 in E


This concerto went unplayed between 1840 and the 1960s when it was rediscovered. Paganini's 1st and 2nd receive the attention, but this concerto is underrated, particularly the first movement.

Paganini's concerti are like the orchestral equivalent of bel canto opera.
