I think this is a great song with a bonus great vocal performance, if I may make a contribution to favourite songs.

Ludwig, this is a utube clip of Steven Kay playing, who developed
the Karma section of the Oasys. It shows the potential of that
section, which involves those buttons on the left. He is a very
smart man.

The thing is, from violins to flutes to any other sounds, you can
do this stuff yourself and be creative with sound, without having
5 people there to all agree to play or argue with one another.

So its really all about being creative with sound and where technology
has taken us.

The very early music work stations were actually an Australian
development in the 70s, called the Fairlight Musical Computer.
They were close to 50 grand in those days and Stevie Wonder amongst
others bought one. They were the first to get serious about sound
sampling etc and bring it all together, but were miles behind what
is available today and today its all a fraction of the cost

Talking about classics.

I looked up a few lyrics of some golden oldies -
that just may stir some memories:

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I give you fever that's so hard to bare...

And -

Aruba, Jamaica, OOO I wanna take ya
Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go
Down to Kokomo ...

That one's for Hasbeen.

Lexi, you're too young to remember this, but thanks to YouTube you can share the experience.

When I was somewhat younger and even more stupid, I used to enjoy adopting a French accent and singing along to Ken Dodd's 1964 hit 'Happiness'

Which ends…

"A wise old man told me one time
Happiness is a frame of mind
When you go to measuring a man's success
Don't count money count happiness

Happiness, happiness.
The greatest gift that I possess.
I thank the Lord but I've been blessed.
With more than my share of happiness (rpt)

I've got more than my share of of happiness."

Dear thinker2,

Not meaning to go highbrow but your offering of a long-haired brunette in Bonnie had me immediately thinking of one of the sexiest Carmens I have ever seen.

Elina Garanca is not a natural brunette but she manages it superbly.

Oh boy oh boy! Whew!

If you can get a your hands on a copy of the whole performance at the Met it is a ripper.

Here she is singing the Gypsy Song outside the production, the sound is a little better.

What a beauty, what a voice.
