Fun to play on the trumpet, especially from 1:20 on!

Some more:

And one of my favs of all time:

Yesterdays events reminded me of



Steve Davies - who is the youngest player in the clip, the one with black ball jumping back, won yesterday in the first round of this years World Snooker Championships. His chances of getting far are dim (I guess he will loose his next match to John Higgins), but he is playing in the championships for the 30th time so that's a memorable achievment.

I have previously posted a link to "Don't Know Much" - a duet by Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt. He also did another world-class duet with Trisha Yearwood - a new version (in 1994) of "I fall to Pieces" that just popped up off my CD carousel.

Coffee Cantata - Bach

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TUWI9U2CLo

Recitative Narrator
Be quiet, stop chattering,
and pay attention to what's taking place:
here comes Herr Schlendrian
with his daughter Lieschen;
he's growling like a honey bear.
Hear for yourselves, what she has done to him!

Aria Schlendrian
Don't one's children cause one
endless trials & tribulations!
What I say each day
to my daughter Lieschen
falls on stony ground.

Recitative
Schlendrian
You wicked child, you disobedient girl,
oh! when will I get my way;
give up coffee!
Lieschen
Father, don't be so severe!
If I can't drink
my bowl of coffee three times daily,
then in my torment I will shrivel up
like a piece of roast goat.

Aria Lieschen
Mm! how sweet the coffee tastes,
more delicious than a thousand kisses,
mellower than muscatel wine.
Coffee, coffee I must have, (click here to hear this sung)
and if someone wishes to give me a treat,
ah, then pour me out some coffee!

Recitative
Schlendrian
If you don't give up drinking coffee
then you shan't go to any wedding feast,
nor go out walking.
oh! when will I get my way;
give up coffee!
Lieschen
Oh well!
Just leave me my coffee!
Schlendrian
Now I've got the little minx!
I won't get you a whalebone skirt
in the latest fashion.
Lieschen
I can easily live with that.
Schlendrian
You're not to stand at the window
and watch people pass by!
Lieschen
That as well, only I beg of you,
leave me my coffee!
Schlendrian
Furthermore, you shan't be getting
any silver or gold ribbon
for your bonnet from me!
Lieschen
Yes, yes! only leave me to my pleasure!
Schlendrian
You disobedient Lieschen you,
so you go along with it all!

Aria Schlendrian
Hard-hearted girls
are not so easily won over.
Yet if one finds their weak spot,
ah! then one comes away successful.

Recitative
Schlendrian
Now take heed what your father says!
Lieschen
In everything but the coffee.
Schlendrian
Well then, you'll have to resign yourself
to never taking a husband.
Lieschen
Oh yes! Father, a husband!
Schlendrian
I swear it won't happen.
Lieschen
Until I can forgo coffee?
From now on, coffee, remain forever untouched!
Father, listen, I won't drink any
Schlendrian
Then you shall have a husband at last!

Aria Lieschen
Today even
dear father, see to it!
Oh, a husband!
Really, that suits me splendidly!
If it could only happen soon
that at last, before I go to bed,
instead of coffee
I were to get a proper lover!

Recitative Narrator
Old Schlendrian goes off
to see if he can find a husband forthwith
for his daughter Lieschen;
but Leischen secretly let's it be known:
no suitor is to come to my house
unless he promises me,
and it is also written into the marriage contract,
that I will be permitted
to make myself coffee whenever I want.

Trio

A cat won't stop from catching mice,
and maidens remain faithful to their coffee.
The mother holds her coffee dear,
the grandmother drank it also,
who can thus rebuke the daughters!
 
I agree that Massive Attack - Angel is one of the best songs ever made, but so is The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

This thread will never be complete without these:

Do we have any Sonny and Cher fans? I started with The Beat Goes On, and I still think Cher is great.

This was the last time they were seen together - over twenty years after they split. Sonny died in a skiing accident about ten years later.

Haha, I didn't even know this. Before they were Sonny and Cher, they released a number of records under the name of Caesar and Cleo

A long way from Cleo...
