Carol

Bye.

Grounds for Divorce

I love this! I thought I’d posted it on here some time ago but apparently not. I was reminded of it when watching The Apprentice this evening, though, weirdly enough… *g*

Coventry Carol – A different version, plus (bonus track!) Gabriel’s Message

I see K’nipe has posted a version of my favourite carol–The Coventry Carol–over on his blog. It’s an interesting and enjoyable version, but this one by Alison Moyet is my favourite.

And this one’s my other favourite Christmas carol

Aaaaah! Darling wee piglet :)

Shameless theft of great video!

I got this from Mike K’Nipe’s excellent blog this morning, but it’s so utterly wonderful that I have to post it here too, so that I don’t lose it

Many thanks, Mike (and also JJ, who sent it to Mike).

Je vais walking demain :)

Au revoir! ♥ ♥ ♥

Chally Vid — the Cheese & Wine, and other drunken occasions :)

I recorded some podcasts for Bob as I bimbled across Scotland on the Challenge, but I’m fairly sure that the recording I made at Alan and Phil’s second cheese & wine won’t make the cut and so I thought I’d do something with it myself, since it was such a fabulous evening, and I’ll never forget it.

Many thanks to all of you cheese & winers for a wonderful time, as well as to all the rest of the people I met on the various drunken adventures that occurred in the second half of my 2010 Challenge ♥ ♥ ♥

For a larger and better quality version, btw, take a look at it on Facebook here.

Two tunes

There are two tunes here, tonight, for three people very special to me. All three of them are very much in my thoughts this evening.

First, for two people I’d be proud to call parents: A Candle in Notre Dame. My mother taught me to light a candle for a special intention, and that’s what I’m doing.

Secondly, some Billy Joel ♥

Wow… Chris Thile playing Bach and other stuff

I was looking at some Nickel Creek vids on YouTube last night. In fact, I think I posted Sweet Afton.

Browsing a little further this morning, though, I’ve come across Chris Thile playing some Bach. He really is simply astounding with that mandolin!

Here he is playing something of his own…

…and here he is with Nickel Creek (sadly no more, it seems) doing The Fox.

And here they are doing The House of Tom Bombadil.

This one contains footage of him playing aged 8 or so. Hmmm…. I suppose this is why he can play like that and I can’t

Heh…

The bit with Rolf Harris and the dog thingy makes me laugh *g*

Or then there’s this version!
