Quiet Night in the Bar. Dominated initially by the oldies who remember their best years in the mid 70s. Then some generally inoffensive stuff whilst I waited to see who was coming in nad who was staying around. Answer being, nobody really. So the evening never really got going or any particular sense of direction. Request for something by the Welsh but my suggestion that we rush outside and burn down a cottage was not warmly received. Request for the new single by Roxette, I ask you. As if I have followed their releases assiduously since the mid 80s. Radio Two has a lot to aanswer for.
Very quiet for the last hour so I amused myself with Tensnake through to The Bomb. Pleased with getting to play 'Cry me a River' - the Richard Earnshaw version and mixed a bit of Maya Jane out of it. To these ears, coz there was no one else there to disagree, it sounded like a good start to a Sunday morning.
Surprised myself with my liking of Earnshaw's version of 'Cry me a River' because it is one of my favourite songs but, and I repeat, but only the version sung by Julie London. Lots of people have butchered this. Michael Buble went beyond butchering, he dahmered it before flushing it's remains into the sewer. With Bin Laden vacating the No 1 most wanted list I would argue that Buble should immediately take his place. There have been others. Second Hand Songs names 138 different artists attempting the song. Julie Londin sang the definative version first in 1955. This means 137 other folk have just been wasting their time. So I confounded even my deep rooted but clearly correct prejudice by liking this version by Earnshaw enough to play out in the bar.
All of you who are more tech savy than me, and you know by my use of tech savy that I do not know much about it, thus making you all better than I will find it on You Tube. Worth a listen I say.
