Nice one Beamer  music and partying up  is great way to celebrate even while  in a drought waiting for things to improve.

Good One EB.  In my effort to support gender equality  in my feminist, psychoanalytical way I have decided to keep my pregnant belly look. Not only does this show my  solidarity with those who are pregnant but it brings out my feminine side  while exercising my arm muscles lifting pints with not only my right but left hand to keep in shape. That last line sprinting down the street must be a reference  I guess about you getting  chased down the street by female  groupies mesmerized by your new physique developed after going to the gym.

CG you struck Gold again thank you a great version of a song I love.     

Cheers Jim I am glad you enjoyed the video. The program came with the MP4 on my windows 10 on my hp laptop. Every now and then  it gets free updates of differant graphics and effects that I can add to the video. I think  all you need to do if you want to have that program is go to MP4 video editor and download the free one.

Jim Wrote. AS this great topic was about time traveling - here is a hypothetical proposition  I often propose to my students....
I thought it might be interesting to ask here in this thread as well.
Excellent question Jim for me I would like to go to Woodstock back in 1969. I would love to see and experience the atmosphere . Also for all the great artists that played their.

I remember at school our music teacher taking great delight in telling us about Castrato's. For many years, boys and men would use castration as a means to keep their voices at a higher pitch. These opera singers were known as the castrati, and were prevalent during the Baroque period. The castrati were composed of male singers who were sopranos and altos. Men/boys were castrated during the 17th and 18th century in Europe. The boys would engage in castration as young as eight years old to ensure that their vocal chords would not mature,.This was highly prevalent because during this time, women were not allowed to sing in accordance to the Catholic Church’s strict guidelines back then. Therefore it was necessary for some men to have higher pitched voices to make up for the absences of women. Not every boy or man was castrated,  as they were handpicked based upon their singing capabilities  With a voice like mine I would have been saved from castration back then.  The last known castrato was Alessandro Moreschi. Castration was outlawed in 1870 by the Italian government. Moreschi’s voice was the only captured and recorded voice of castrati in 1902.

Bill I think Paul could become Admiral Halsey as long as they provided him with a cup of tea and a butter pie.        .

Opps the kettle's on the boil, and Im about to be put  away.

Love it made my Sunday morning start with a good laugh.     

I love to see the words Mojo of your song posted on here. I enjoyed your singing and playing and the lyrics worked perfect.     

EB, When this guy compares Springsteen to Berry i think he gives a good point of view. But I think maybe he should  also look at the way songwriting has gone in recents decades compared with older decades. The listening public and the pushers of music had differant expectations. When I was working I noticed over the years the  people I worked with and their families had changed. In the early days long term marriages and families with mother and father were the norm. By the end of my working  life most of my work colleagues had been divorced or were seperated and their children were been brought up by one perant. Maybe the dark songs reflected a new form of disatisfaction and the  world falling apart because of not only bad decisions but a lost of understanding on  how to function and enjoy the old style of family and life. Popular soap  operas in NZ seemed to revolve around cheating partners and disfunctional families. I don’t watch them but use to hear the young ones talking about them and in a strange way many of them are  living in similar worlds to their favourite soaps and superficial reality shows. Now I think possibily this affects the songwriters lyrics who write the soundtracks of recent decades. I know there are many happy families and relationships but in my limited experience there seems to be a decline in those families.     

Cheers Bill, I enjoyed that Five Americans clip loved the fact it was live and not lip synch. I was trying to figure out what the drummer was using in his right hand to play the cymbals with? Does anyone know or was it just a drumstick looking a bit blured in the video or some sort of drummers brush ?

CG talking about Western Union made me wonder if the popular American Express travelers cheques of old around the world, are still in use or available.?

DE another good song you put up there. Love the song loved the humour.  His voice reminded me of Roger Miller. Thank you
