today I have heard in the news that Ken Dodd is no longer with us either
I saw Ken Dodd on stage about three years ago. He was in his late eighties. There were two support acts, and the rest of the show was entirely Ken Dodd. The show lasted for five hours, over four hours of that was just Ken Dodd. He told jokes, he sang, he did his vent act. The man was nearly ninety, and he kept this up for over four hours, occasionally telling the audience "Don't worry, I will let you go eventually." And this was part of a tour he was doing, a tour of five hour shows. He was a legend.

Many thanks Paul for sharing this wonderful youtube-clip with Ken Dodd.
The comedians of his time were all irreplaceable (I miss them all...) and you were very lucky to have seen Ken Dodd on stage.
Best wishes from Kristina and many thanks again  :grouphug;

P.S. I have just discovered a video-clip of Ken Dodd singing "Streets of London" in a very Dickensian sort of way:

My very favourite composition by Georg Friedrich Händel  (1685 – 1759] .... and ... hopefully ... one day ...
... It is quite surprising to realize that the "mighty" Händel of such powerful compositions like his "Messiah"etc. could at the same time compose such an oversensitive and delicate composition like this Minuet in G minor ...

This is one of my favorite Joni Mitchell songs. Guess I'm feeling a little philosophical these days. But that is okay.

I had heard of a new production in London of Jesus Christ Superstar by the Regent's Park theatre group (I think that's the company's correct name, but I could be wrong) that won all sorts of awards in the UK.

This production is making its American debut at Chicago's Lyric Opera, of all places, so we attended a performance last week.  It was astonishing, it truly was.  I had seen it on Broadway back in the mid-seventies, so to be able to see it again as a new production, all of these years later, was incredible fun.  There is nothing like live musical theatre!  Such a thrill!  And some of the company were in the Regent's Park production, so it was really special.

Dmitri Aleksandrovich Hvorostovsky 16 October 1962 Krasnoyarsk, Soviet Union - 22 November 2017 (aged 55) London, United Kingdom
The song he is singing is called  " Somewhere far away "
 
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/gde-daleko-%D0%B3%D0%B4%D0%B5-%D1%82%D0%BE-%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D0%BE-somewhere-far-away.html-1#ixzz5GnFiddVR

Somewhere far away

Far away from this weary fray,
Keen heartache, all my dreams to forsake,
Bear me high into a cold grey sky
Taking wing to the home that waits there
From this place to the home that awaits me...
 
Days gone by, where the sunlight glints
On grass-lined banks, let me catch just a glimpse
Of those distant hills and those yearned-for shores,
Ach, if I could I would fly back to them
And I’d swim in those crystal waters…
 
Somewhere far away, very far away,
Raindrops are falling from high,
By the little stream, in the orchard glade,
Where boughs of cherries are bent to the ground.
Somewhere far away, in my memory,
Now, as in childhood, I see –
Though smothered, like rooftops,
With the dull, heavy snows of the winter –
 
Stormy skies, let your tears baptise
Souls that are scarred, but that's not all that we are,
Mesmerised, by what's been memorised,
I’ll lift my gaze to the wide blue yonder
And from there I will seek for the answer...
 
Far away from this weary fray,
Keen heartache, all my dreams to forsake,
Bear me high into a cold grey sky
Taking wing to the home that waits there
From this place to the home that's awaiting me.

With the weekend upon us, thought I'd share some uplifting music I just discovered. I think these ladies have a sense of humor and their music is awesome. Enjoy!

Kristina, he's such a nice vocalist!  Are you familiar with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau?  Oh, he makes my heart swell.

PrimeTimer,  I was unfamiliar with the Amadeus Electric Quartet, so thank you for the link.  They're very entertaining and creative!

Charlie Chaplin - Hungarian Dance No. 5  composed by Johannes Brahms 1833 - 1897.
Johannes Brahms was a German composer and pianist of the Romantic period. Born in Hamburg into a Lutheran family, Brahms spent much of his professional life in Vienna, Austria. His reputation and status as a composer is such that he is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the "Three Bs" of music, a comment originally made by the nineteenth-century conductor Hans von Bülow.

The Raven Edgar Allen Poe (1809-1849)
The Raven in HD by The Alan Parsons Project - YouTube
Video for The raven in HD by The Alan Parsons Project▶ 4:03

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVLUeXkzUjM

This album was released in the UK originally with a different name. Simply called The Alan Parsons Project, it was successful enough to achieve gold status but later that year the same album was released under the name of Tales of Mystery and Imagination.

Lyrics:
The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more

To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door
Then through the silence
It spoke that one word
that I shall hear forever more

Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore

And still the raven remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him
No prayer remove him
And I must hear for evermore

Quoth the raven, nevermore
Thus quoth the raven
Nevermore

Top Tracks - Joanna Leach - YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD622LsHaqwm22iekLjs8GACers7R3POl

Joanna Leach (1937 - 2011) specialized very early to play on Square Pianos which were produced at the time of composers like Muzio Clementi, John Field, Beethoven and Chopin. She played their compositions on pianofortes of that time and had a most fascinating collection of very rare antique pianofortes ... and ... she was also a very inspiring piano teacher.
For many years she battled with cancer and unfortunately in 2011 she lost her battle. She is very much missed by many admirers of her beautiful art and I feel very lucky to have known her ...

We've just finished watching the final season of The Detectorists, a gentle and beautifully written British comedy about two men who are metal detectorists (NOT "metal detectors", as those are the machines, not the people who use them!) who are searching for treasure, hopefully gold.

Two pieces of music from the series keep running through my head.  This first one ends a scene in which our two detectorists find a whistle and wonder how it came to be there.  The music is from The Unthanks and is called "Magpie" for reasons you will see in the clip.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6gSYHJhuCw

And this is a link to the theme song.

In my very humble opinion, Dolly Parton's "Jolene" is one of the finest songs ever written.  "I Will Always Love You" is close behind.  Thanks for posting this. :thumbup;
