~Bohemian Rhapsody~

No doubt this young man has amazing talent. Bohemian Rhapsody is a complex song itself.

It seems Billy performs it with innate ease.

Take a  look!!

FREDDIE MERCURY 

GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN 

The great Freddie Mercury died 27 years ago today.

The beauty of his music will never fade.

~Classic Rock Magazine~

Farrokh Bulsara (5 September 1946 – 24 November 1991), known professionally as Freddie Mercury, was a British singer-songwriter and record producer, best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Queen.

He was known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range.

Mercury wrote numerous hits for Queen, including “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Killer Queen”, “Somebody to Love”, “Don’t Stop Me Now”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, and “We Are the Champions”.

He led a solo career while performing with Queen, and occasionally served as a producer and guest musician for other artists.

‘Baba Yetu’ …. “🙏🏽 The Lord’s Prayer in Swahili …. Alex Boyé, BYU Men’s Chorus, Philharmonic and Christopher Tin 🙏🏽 …. “!!

~~November 2, 2018~~ 

BABA YETU

“Our Father”

I’m so happy I found this song.

I had never heard about it until an episode of America’s Got Talent Show where ‘Angel City Chorale‘ performed a cover.

What an amazing song!

Here’s Alex Boye’s version.

HortyRex©

“Baba Yetu” (Swahili: “Our Father“) is the theme song for the 2005 video game, Civilization IV. It was composed by Christopher Tin, and performed by Ron Ragin and the Stanford Talisman.

For its re-release in Tin’s debut album Calling All Dawns, it was performed by the Soweto Gospel Choir. The song, when rereleased, became the first piece of video game music to be nominated and win a Grammy Award.

~Wikipedia~

This message is why Boyé believes he personally felt a deep connection to this particular song

“When my family found out I joined the church at the age of 16, I was kicked out of my house. That night, I walked the streets of London in tears clinging to the Book of Mormon like my life depended on it. It was the only thing constant left in my life,” Boyé said. “Whilst walking the streets homeless, I would recite the Lord’s Prayer and it became a source of deep comfort to me.”

“As it appears in … full read/full credit”

‘Fall On Me’ …. “💕🎼 Andrea Bocelli, Matteo Bocelli …. A son and A Father 🎼💕 …. “!!

~~October 26, 2018~~ 

ANDREA AND MATTEO

~FALL ON ME~

Always had a soft spot for Andrea. There’s an addition now to his son Matteo.

What a beautiful coupling of voices.

Saw them perform last night in a late night show. When looking for the video and this is what I found.

Watch and listen to the new music video featuring Andrea Bocelli and his 20-year-old son Matteo Bocelli singing the beautifully poignant “Fall on Me” from Disney’s “Nutcracker and the Four Realms”.

Enjoy!!

HortyRex©

Andrea and Matteo Bocelli create a stunning and deeply emotionally evocative pairing in their duet “Fall On Me”

Andrea Bocelli has been called “the fourth tenor”; the blind, Tuscan-born vocalist has emerged as one of the most popular voices in the arena of light classical and crossover vocals and has made inroads into the world of opera as well.

His participation in Pavarotti’s 1992 hit Miserere album and Zucchero Fornaciari’s 1993 world tour brought him international attention. Bocelli has been most successful as a pop ballad singer, having recorded duets with Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman, and Eros Ramazzotti.

Al Jarreau, who sang with Bocelli during “The Night of Proms” in November 1995, praised Bocelli with these words:

“I have had the honor to sing with the most beautiful voice in the world.”

Andrea Bocelli’s son features on his latest single ‘Fall On Me’

Here is everything you need to know about the rising star.

“Anyone who is a parent, anyone who knows the precious responsibility of being a mother or a father, will fully grasp the meaning of this piece.

‘Fall On Me’ is the first time I have duetted with my son Matteo Bocelli”.

‘Fields of Gold’ …. “🌾🎼 STING: Jamie Dupuis Harp Guitar Cover 🎼🌾 …. “!!

~~October 16, 2018~~ 

“FIELDS OF GOLD”

ANOTHER CLASSIC – AMAZING COVER

Today’s Dose of Jamie

M’lord! This so very talented young man from Canada, Jamie Dupuis, is taking me on a trip through memory lane again!

This is another one of my very favorite songs from Sting.

Incredible cover, amazing instrument!

Just lay back, close your eyes and be transported to another time … a time of love, melancholy and sweetness.

HortyRex©

“Fields of Gold” is a song written and recorded by Sting.

It first appeared on his 1993 album Ten Summoner’s Tales. The song was released as a single but only made it to number 16 on the UK Singles Chart and to number 23 in the United States Billboard Hot 100.

However, it became one of Sting’s most famous songs, with many renowned artists covering the song.

In Lyrics By Sting, the singer described the view from his 16th-century Wiltshire manor house:

“In England, our house is surrounded by barley fields, and in the summer it’s fascinating to watch the wind moving over the shimmering surface, like waves on an ocean of gold.

There’s something inherently sexy about the sight, something primal, as if the wind were making love to the barley. Lovers have made promises here, I’m sure, their bonds strengthened by the comforting cycle of the seasons.”

There is More than One Kind Of Intelligence …. “🧠 Importance of Recognizing this Can’t be Stressed Enough 🧠…. “!!

~~August 29, 2018~~

SUSTAINABLE HUMAN

AMAZING!

M’gosh, I found this video just now, traversing through the pages of Facebook. Sometimes there’s good information posted there.

The reason this called my attention is because my oldest granddaughter has been having problems in school since she began. Currently she’s in 9th grade. It’s quite the effort to get her interested and perform adequately in school.

This may be the reason!!

Please, take the time to watch the video. Answers to some questions may be there.

HortyRex©

People’s first experience of the system is often profoundly alienating. This is not the fault of their teachers but of the system itself, which assesses us for a particular kind of intelligence. We pass or fail on ridiculously narrow criteria.

I was lucky at school because I had the kind of intelligence that they were looking for – linear, analytical, hyperlexic.

It was only after leaving school that I realized that in other respects I was a complete dummy. Give me any spatial task and I fall to pieces. I stumble over cognitive tasks that other people can perform in their sleep.

If a kid like that is failing, it’s not the kid’s fault. The fault is with the system. As I say, I don’t blame the teachers because they have to teach to the system. Plenty of teachers desperately want to do creative things with the children, to discover their different intelligences, but they are forbidden to do so.

That child in the rockpools: if the system has failed to recognize his intelligence, the system has failed. If an intelligent child fails the tests designed to assess a different kind of intelligence, they become alienated. Not just from school, but from the system as a whole.

The danger is that they then become alienated from public life, alienated from society. Eventually alienated from themselves.

Playing for Change …. “💞🎼 Rasta Children featuring Nattali Rize 🎼💞 …. “!!

PLAYING FOR CHANGE 

Song Around The World

I started following Playing for Change a few years ago.

I think the work they do and the way they present music from around the world is amazing.

Music is the universal language.

Here’s a new song that I found traversing through the internet today.

I hope you enjoy it!

~RASTA CHILDREN~

One evening, a few years ago in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, the PFC crew and I were waiting for an 80-year-old cuica player to perform on a Song Around The World.

I remember it seemed to take forever for him to make it down the hill, as he would stop off in every bar along the way for a drink and some conversation. As we waited I looked and saw a Rastaman walking across the street with his acoustic guitar in hand.

I waved to him and he came over to see what we were doing with all our equipment. I told him about Playing For Change and he agreed to play a song for us while we were waiting. The result was an incredible, spontaneous performance of Dennis Brown’s “Rasta Children.”

His voice reminded me of Peter Tosh and he sang with so much soul that we realized this could be an amazing Song Around The World. Just one man and his guitar playing on the street set the tone for this song and we added a worldwide band of roots musicians around him.

“I and I deal with humanity …”

Playing For Change

~~Published on Jul 6, 2018~~

Song Around The World

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people.

The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World.

Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band – a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation – a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

~Ahoulaguine Akaline featuring Bombino~

Song Around The World

“Before, our music had the reputation of rebellion, but now it’s the opposite.”

Bombino

The title of this song translates to “I greet my country” and it was written by the great guitar player, Bombino, about his home in Niger after he spent years in exile.

Extremists and the leaders of the country tried to ban the guitar as a symbol of the rebellion.

Bombino once said,

“I do not see my guitar as a gun but rather as a hammer with which to help build the house of the Tuareg people.”

The unity of musicians around the world playing on this song is a statement that music is part of the foundation from which we rebuild our humanity and our world together.

Mamma Mia …. “🎼💫🎼 Here We Go Again 🎼💫🎼 …. “!!

~~July 18, 2018~~ 

JUST A TEASER 

MAMMA MIA

To say that I’m an ardent fan of Mamma Mia isn’t enough.

First of all I love ABBA. They were one of the musical groups of my time. I ‘grew up’ listening to their music.

Time went by and the first movie came along. I couldn’t have enough of it. I’ve lost count of how many times I went to the theater to watch it. I even went to the ‘sing-a-long’ version.

Then the DVD came out and, of course, I ordered it.

Meryl Streep impressed me. So did the other members of the cast.

Hence, I’m looking forward to this sequel which comes out this Friday.

Sad to say Meryl won’t be in it, except when ‘traveling to the past’. However, this has been made up by adding Cher, in my humble opinion.

Anyway, here’s a few teasers!! 

HortyRex©

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is a 2018 musical romantic comedy film directed and written by Ol Parker, from a story by Parker, Catherine Johnson, and Richard Curtis. It is a follow-up to the 2008 film Mamma Mia!, which is based on the musical of the same name.

The film stars Lily James, Amanda Seyfried, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Dominic Cooper, Cher, and Meryl Streep.

Both a prequel and a sequel, the plot is set after the events of the first film but also features flashbacks to 1979 to tell the story of how Donna came to be on the island of Kalokairi and trying to figure out who fathered her daughter, Sophie.

A VERY STABLE, TREASONOUS FIDIOT

~Today has been kinda difficult for me~

In my lifetime, I’ve never seen a president of the mighty, imperialistic US of A become a traitor in from the world cameras.

My world feels totally shaken.

So, a little humor and total mockery of the ‘Traitor-in-Chief‘ makes it a bit bearable.

Fresh off the presses!

PUBLISHED TODAY

Thanks for keeping us kinda sane with these videos during this endless fuckery that Drumpf’s presidency is.

This video says it all.

RANDY, RANDY, RANDY!!

The French pinned two medals on Josephine Baker for her heroic role in the French resistance during World War II. Baker spied for the Free French Forces and entertained the French troops in war zones.

When this is all over we really should pin one on Randy Rainbow for his role in the resistance. He’s not taking the personal risks Baker did – he’s not in danger of being arrested and shot (not yet) – but no one has done more to entertain the troops in today’s resistance.
