What kind of music you hear while you trade?

Just 'cos I can......

Last post for the week.....now the weekend is almost here....

Elton John was in NZ just a week or two back, but I must admit that I wasn't remotely interested in seeing him. I really liked his early works and I had a lot of respect for him as a musician. Later in his life he seemed to let his ego get the better of him and I don't like the man he became. This is just my personal thoughts for a Saturday evening, while I listen to some of his great songs of the past.

Yet another underrated song from a great album...

Last one for now....this is a great track...one of his best imo....

On today's birthday list lis American big-band musician, arranger, composer, and bandleader Glenn Miller. He was the best-selling recording artist from 1939 to 1943, leading one of the best-known big bands. In just four years Glenn Miller scored 23 No.1 hits. Miller's recordings include 'In the Mood', 'Moonlight Serenade', 'Pennsylvania 6-5000', and 'Chattanooga Choo Choo'. On December 15, 1944, while traveling to entertain US troops in France during World War II, Miller's aircraft disappeared in bad weather over the English Channel.

another birthday is for English singer and actor Roger Daltrey, The Who. They scored the 1965 UK No.2 single My Generation plus over 20 other UK hit singles, 16 US Top 40 singles, and the rock opera albums Tommy and Quadrophenia. Daltrey had the 1973 solo UK No.5 single 'Giving It All Away'. The Who are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, selling over 100 million records worldwide. He and Pete Townshend received Kennedy Center Honors in 2008 and The George and Ira Gershwin Award for Lifetime Musical Achievement at UCLA in 2016.

And one more birthday for Nik Kershaw, English singer, songwriter, producer, who had the 1984 solo UK No.2 single 'I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me', as well as hits with 'Wouldn't It Be Good', 'Human Racing', 'The Riddle' and 'Don Quixote'. Kershaw appeared at the Live Aid in 1985 and has also penned a number of hits for other artists, including a UK No.1 single in 1991 for Chesney Hawkes, 'The One and Only'.

I believe that there is a birthday for Justin Bieber too...but I'll let Jimi take care of him!!

Last week heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury introduced alot of new people to Patsy Cline using her song "Crazy" for his walk out to the ring, so enjoy a slow classic on the sunday!

Hi JvD3,

Yes it was a brilliant move by Fury I thought after Wilder had used Tyson's previous life's problems as a weapon against him in the lead ups to the fight. So taking the p!ss out of Wilder and having laugh at all what Wilder said, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when they played your Patsy Cline classic (written by Willie Nelson).

Patsy had a tough life, being also severely injured in a car accident just two years before she died in a plane crash in 1963 aged but 31 years .

She had a wonderful voice and often sung just 'behind the beat' which was quite captivating.

Here's another fave.

Patsy Cline - She's Got You

what I say to the market.
"Impossible you to beat someone who never gives up".


What I say to me
"If you think you have reached the top find another mountain".
