Oxford A to Z

Added to 'Soundtrack to Life' From Wikipedia - “At various points in her life, Lorrie Morgan has been married to three different country singers: Keith Whitley, Jon Randall and Sammy Kershaw. She has sold over 6 million records worldwide.” If Keith Whitley had not died from alcoholic poisoning I do wonder if Lorrie and Keith would have stayed together. I feel sure Keith would have been one of the truly great country singers had he not succumbed at just 33 years old. Anyway, I first became aware of Lorrie many years ago when I purchased a “Live from Church Street Station” VHS Video.......VHS Video was one of them things where it was all too easy for the tape to get tangled up inside the VHS player :-) I don't think I put anything in the Rules about having more than one musical link. So, there are two links here. I will possibly get myself in a bit of bother but in the second link I think Lorrie's jeans are a very nice colour :-) Please watch/listen here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt83nMrr7kA www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhhjy-A88tk

Back to last year for another shot taken in Broad Street :-) T is for… TOLKIEN ‘Conversation with Smaug’ one of several watercolours painted by J. R. R. Tolkien to illustrate The Hobbit, 1936 U is for… URASHIMA Part of a Japanese scroll narrating the fairy tale of the fisherman Urashima, Keicho Period (1596-1615) V is for... VESALIUS Engraving from the De humani corporis fabrica ('On the fabric of the Human Body') by the physician and anatomist Andreas Vesalius, 1543

An olde Oxford shot to link to the all-time classic....."Teach Your Children". I am working on the basis that the guy leading the pack is the Father and he his teaching his "Children" to try and keep in step and all look in the same direction :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound My fave version ~ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Teach Your Children ~ Kathy Mattea & Suzy Bogguss Not forgetting the brilliant CSN&Y original ~ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Teach Your Children ~ Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

One from the Archives and a pretty obscure link for 'Sight and Sound' methinks :-) D is for DANTE E is for EUCLID F is for FIRST FOLIO SHAKESPEARE G is for GUTENBERG BIBLE...I think :-) H is for HOOKE Of course 'H' could equally be for Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" performed here by Serena Ryder & Lior :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound: Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Heart of Gold ~ Serena Ryder & Lior

Another photo from my archived Oxford 'A to Z' shots and a further obscure link for 'Sight and Sound' follows :-) I is for IRIS GERMANICA J is for JAMI K is for KAFKA Equally J could be for JOLENE :-) I have watched the intro to Jill's video a few times and surely the guy didn't say that :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound: Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Jolene ~ Jill Johnson

And, there's more.....from the Archives :-) Clearly, the guy is telling the gal a story and this leads to Billy Joel's "Tell Her About It" performed here by Elio Pace on 'Weekend Wogan' in 2010 when Elio was Terry's Musical Director. I feel very privileged to have seen Elio with his 'Big Band' and playing piano with 'Albert Lee and Hogan's Heroes'. Also, being at the four sold-out "Billy Joel Songbook" concerts that Elio and his Band have done at The Stables, Wavendon, Milton Keynes between 19 April 2014 and last Saturday night :-) I think it is fair to say that Elio is one of our (Helen & I) very favourite live performers. Roll on September 2017 :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Tell Her About It ~ Elio Pace

Obscure link time again :-) A is for JANE AUSTEN B is for THOMAS BODLEY C could be for the young lady who could be a COUNTRY GIRL Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ I'm Gonna Be A Country Girl Again ~ Buffy Sainte-Marie
