Who else but the Beatles could have made this into a hit?

Nice catchy tune nothing wrong with it. It reflected the time and temperament of the period. No different than many songs of that era. The song was written for children.

In fact, "Paul McCartney wrote this one. He explained shortly after it was released in 1966: "'Yellow Submarine' is very simple but very different. It's a fun song, a children's song. Originally we intended it to be 'Sparky' a children's record. But now it's the idea of a yellow submarine where all the kids went to have fun. I was just going to sleep one night and thinking if we had a children's song, it would be nice to be on a yellow submarine where all your friends are with a band."

Paul purposely used short words in the lyrics because he wanted kids to pick it up early and sing along."

Went to a Mozart Symphony Friday night. It was wonderful! Mozart's requiem.

One of the highlights of my life was attending a Chamber Orchestra performance of Mozart's works for ten pieces in the Schoenbrun Palace in Vienna.

Sadly, I can't seem to find any authentic videos.

That had to be wonderful! Once in a lifetime experience!

Buenos Aires too.....used to be the best of the best in South America.... tango and all that...







this is the translation of the song "Nada"



I’ve arrived at your house—
I don’t know how I’ve managed to,
since they’ve told me you’re not here,
that you shall never return,
since they’ve told me that you’re gone.
There’s so much snow in my soul,
so much silence at your door!
When I arrived at the threshold
a bolt of sorrow
stopped my heart.
Nothing, nothing is left
in the house where you were born—
only cobwebs woven through the weeds
The rosebush is also gone,
it surely died when you left,
everything is a burden.
Nothing, nothing more than sadness and silence,
no one who can tell me if you’re still alive.
Where are you?
I want to tell you that I’ve returned, repentant,
to seek your love.

Fred Astaire. Put it on the Ritz.

Fred Astaire. Put it on the Ritz.

I remember my mother saying (she was a Zigfield Girl) that Ginger Rogers was ten times the dancer that Fred Astaire was. "She did everything he did but in high heels and dancing backward."
