B FOR BEE GEES

| Subhash

B is for Bee Gees and B is also for the baritone voice which differentiated them from the masses.

 

 

Bee Gees is a band compose by brother Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. They shot in fame with the Staying Alive from the Saturday Night Fever which also featured John Travolta and established and presented disco to the international arena and suddenly Bee Gees and John Travolta became talk of the town topping all charts. As on date Barry is the only survivor of the band; it is sad for him that his younger brother has left him. I believe they are never going to die and will always remain immortal in our mind, heart and soul with their music.

My Connect

I was not even born when all this happened, so how do I relate to the story, obviously I read it and feel the aura and the times it would have been. The better question is how did I start to follow them?

Intel was and is always creative and one fine evening in the 90’s I saw the intel ad featuring a scientist, server room and everyone were dancing in the tune of Stayin Alive. So I was curious and I wanted to know about this song and artist. Only I know how difficult it was at that time for me with no internet and a society in which people mostly followed Bollywood. I thank my Dad and a music house that had a big collection of Audio cassette and CD/DVD, he helped me out and bought me the cassette. The English one was costly to afford so I always thank my Dad as he never cut my hands for the bucks.

My pick:

You must have heard the popular tracks so sharing one of my personal favorite from Bee Gees which is Alone from the album Still Waters:

I so love Robin’s voice in all the songs….

Keep pouring in your thoughts and have a great weekend.

Lots of kisses and hugs 🙂

A is for Alla Rakha

A

A is for Alla Rakha, he is regarded as one of the finest table players in the Indian classical music genre.

He established very high regard amongst the Indians and even worldwide for his performance. Most of the time he used to play with alongside sitar player Ravi Shankar (not to be confused with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar)

He made Tabla famous in the international arena and shared stage with George Harrison of Beatles fame. This made him and table popular in the west were he gained immense popularity.

The Indian government conferred one of the highest civilian awards Padma Shri for his contribution to the music society and taking Indian classical music to another level.

My Connect:

My dad used to listen to him from where I picked up the like for following him.

My pick:

You must take out your time and listen to the music link shared below to experience a niche performance:

 

A2Z Challenge 

This month I decided to take part in the A2Z and have taken music as a theme. Music according to me is something which relaxes you, changes your mood and energy and gives you a break.

Have you ever wondered why you become so much happy when you listen a certain tune in FM or TV or playing in the street, it is because it teleports you back to the time when you used to listen to it and reloads all your memory related to it. Most of the time people relate youth, love, friends, outings, family occasions in which they had enjoyed a particular song. The one category which has the strongest effect is the songs which take you back to your childhood.

Through all these 26 posts I would like to introduce to you the artists and songs I like and you can also leave your thoughts behind. I will also be sharing some songs from them.

Happy posting all and do keep replying and commenting.

RAISE YOUR VOICE

| Subhash

Raise your voice to stop the noise….

RaiseYourVoice
Loudspeakers in the street all set for playing out loud music

This is going out to all those who play loud music in public esp. in case of occasions causing noise pollution and disturbance to elderly and patients, unnecessary honkers on the road and playing out loud at late hours in the night. This is not against listening to loud music at home as long as it is not disturbing others and you are calm enough to respond to others when asked to lower it down.

Lets us all raise  our voice to stop the noise.
