Muslims

LATEST -- This is Fake News annoyingly so -

"If millions of Muslims had decided to march against ISIS in Iraq, it certainly would have been major news. But Arbaeen is an annual "religious pilgrimage and has nothing specifically to do with ISIS"

The Friday Five

What are the best and worst love songs of all time? Are there any that have special meaning to you (whether positive or negative)? Why?

What do you expect to be doing ten years from today, and where do you hope to be living?

If you could have the writing ability of one author, who would you choose, and why? Would you exchange writing styles permanently?

What's your favourite sandwich? Do you make it yourself or go somewhere special to buy it? What's in it?

If you could only listen to one music genre for the rest of your life (classical, rock, jazz, etc.), what would you choose, and why?

Whitstable Pub Visit

Final visit was in Whitstable,and a pub near the harbour famous for its seafood. I had the Fisherman's Platter.

Duke Ellington - It don't mean a thing (1943)



"It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" is a 1931 composition by Duke Ellington with lyrics by Irving Mills, now accepted as a jazz standard. The music was written and arranged by Ellington in August 1931 during intermissions at Chicago's Lincoln Tavern and was first recorded by Ellington and his orchestra for Brunswick Records (Br 6265) on February 2, 1932. Ivie Anderson sang the vocal and trombonist Joe Nanton and alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges played the instrumental solos. The title was based on the oft stated credo of Ellington's former trumpeter Bubber Miley, who was dying of tuberculosis. The song became famous, Ellington wrote, "as the expression of a sentiment which prevailed among jazz musicians at the time." Probably the first song to use the phrase "swing" in the title, it introduced the term into everyday language and presaged the Swing Era by three years. The Ellington band played the song continuously over the years and recorded it numerous times, most often with trumpeter Ray Nance as vocalist."

In Herne Baydos

Slight change of plan - moved the Ashford visits to another day. I am currently in Herne Baydos on the Costa del Kent having a cider after doing a charity shop visit. Picked up three CD;sand two DVD's fir five pounds.
