View Poll Results: What is Music? (Poll added on 6th of May 2012).
I heard something by Jane Birkin on the radio. As we listen to two different stations basically, I could hit the program-button quickly, but my wife found it funny and switched back. She is not sadistic but kept chuckling while wondering, how something like this could be possible. I did not want to bother, but now the same question occupies me for too long...
... and... shall I cultivate my German accent, introduce some arbitrary false articles to make forget that I live among the French for years and am usually capable of a decent grammar or make the sound of exhalation the dominant characteristic of my voice? Will I be famous, too ? Forcibly.

I'm not quite sure what you meant Michael Uplawski but then that is very likely because I'm Jane Birken's age and actually recall she was at one time Helen-of-Troy gorgeous and my brain short-circuited
The randomizer of my car audio thing chose the song after months of “absence”. But I had to get out to do some shopping. As the song was somewhat “lost” because I do not memorize locations on my SD-card, I had to look it up on YouTube, afterwards. And you know what? I might listen to it once again!
Thanks Michael Uplawski! I briefly met Long John Baldry and his band when they played a really small venue in a wealthy suburb of Washington DC, literally a Teen Center that maybe could seat 150-200. The place was amazing for the caliber of acts they booked, usually up-and-comers just about to hit the Big Time like Spirit, and the Long John Baldry Band who was on their first major US tour supporting "Don't Try to Lay No Boogie-Woogie on the King of Rock 'n Roll". I only got to shake his hand and say a handful of words because most of my interaction was business, having agreed to loan his Bass Player a horn-loaded Bass cabinet I'd designed and built. They were all gentlemen, highly professional, completely relaxed (one of the advantages of what might have been considered a "throwaway gig - no pressure) and their set sounded amazing. I can see it in my mental movies like it was yesterday... well.. maybe the day before yesterday
Anyway in loving memory here's a fascinating, often hilarious (though decidedly low rez) video for Long John...

I once had this whole record somewhere. If they had not been digitized, “Stormy Monday”, “It Ain't Easy” and this title would have been worn out in no time. Digitization has the bad effect that you forget: Music you have, folks who made music, where your records are and to whom you had given them.., in which year (or century).
