I may have mentioned that the bulk of my collection is swing, jump blues and jazz.
My favorite band from the 40s (or one of them) is Charlie Barnet who played sax. There's hardly a piece of his that I don't like.
Favorite trumpet player: Harry James, hands down

I'm a brass fan, can ya tell?

After the Beatles split up there was so much written about them, and their relationships with each other. Many felt that Paul was more than "just hurt" John moved on, that he in fact loved him deeply. I always thought this song, which is post Beatles by Paul was "to John", as well as other songs I heard of his throughout the years - and one really intense song that I can't think of right now - post John's death (where he does sing about loving him and states as much, that he wrote it for John).

We do know that Brian Esptein, the manager of the Beatles was gay, and loved JOHN - in fact there is a good chance that they were "intimate" with each other - which is pretty special actually I think, before Brian ended up committing suicide later. (A decent bit of material was in fact written suggesting that and not disputed by John, that I can recall).

Anyway, I just thought of this song, looked it up and the intro is: Message to John Lennon - from Paul. Now, I don't know if Paul wrote this "message" here, or someone else computer made this photo/dedication. Pretty song though - from the mid-70's I believe. (Like Paul's third or fourth solo album - I think...?) Anyway, this is posted as a Beatles song, which is incorrect (above the URL), so I think someone internet posted/wrote this dedication - so perhaps I was not the only one who felt this song was personal from Paul, to John way back then. (Or, maybe Paul DID admit it at some point, later and I missed it!) Ahhh, sigh... classic love stories never truly, fully quite revealed - makes me wonder as a hopeless romantic.

(Don't mind me, just having a conversation with myself here now about this. LOL. Hope someone enjoys a little Beatle trivia.)

One of the most pretty John Lennon songs:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5BBEOjUKrI"]YouTube- John Lennon - Beautiful Boy.flv[/ame]

Most folks know that John hung up public performing and recording for five years to raise his son Sean, (while Yoko ran the "corporation"). They had so much trouble having a baby together... so John stayed at home and was Mr. Mom and baked, etc...

Then he came out with the album after this time, where he was shot right after it's release.

It was so very messed up.

He wrote and sang this song for Sean - it was a lullaby. (Later in a public appearance he dedicated the song openly to both Sean and his son Julian - from his first marriage, whom he had not spent enough time with him or had gotten to know throughout the years. They kind of had just reconnected better right before John was shot.)

*My favorite line in this song:

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans..."


Keep the peace... you never know what can happen.

I have been in love with Dusty Springfield FOREVER!!

She did the big band sound in the late 50's and early 60's. I loved her voice. Actually, I play this song on the guitar. AND, ironically the first ever "official lesbian" album - which was by Alix Dobkin... Alex recorded this song on.

AND... why is that ironic, you ask? Well, because you all KNOW that Dusty finally admitted that she loved women, right? She lived most of her life in England. I wonder WHO the lucky lady - or butch was!!! (Or women...?)

I was very saddened when I heard that we had lost Dusty.

OK, another trivia question: What WAS the title of the very first recognized lesbian recorded album? (i.e. Women singing love songs to women - no hiding here!) This is an easy find. I'm just curious to see if anyone cares to look it up! WINK...
