city of new orleans, sunday song

Because this is the celebration of Woodie Guthrie’s 100th birthday I thought I would put up something by that American folk legend, except all I could find on YouTube were various versions of This Land Is Your Land. Which may be a great folk song, but frankly it’s not one of my favourites. So instead here is another travelling song written and performed by Woodie’s son Arlo. I remember listening to this as a restless teenager and longing to get on a train to New Orleans or anywhere…

in the summertime, sunday song

There’s always something endearing about pre-80s videos.
The same cannot be said for 70s hairstyles…

Happy song though, isn’t it? 🙂

dancing, sevilla, where the hell is matt

Wow, a lotta time has passed since I first came across Matt dancing his way around the world. His style has changed and the snippets are much more choreographed. I think I preferred the simpler version, but am quite pleased to see Seville in the opening scenes of this video (taken in the square next to the cathedral and the old casa az).

alfama, lisbon story, madredeus, sunday song, video

Twenty years ago when I was living in Salamanca I saw Wim Wender’s Lisbon Story and fell in love.  Five years ago I finally got to visit this beautiful city and, as luck would have it, I also got to see Teresa Salgueiro perform at a Fado festival outdoor concert. This song is called Alfama, after Lisbon’s most famous barrio.
