Leader of the popcorn pack and now he's gone
Laser radio, the internet station with the motto past, present and future, will not air live radio shows anymore in the (near ?) future. Besides other nice programs we will miss every first saturday of the month the great rock'n'roll show by Gudo Leuvens and the one and only Popcorn show by Theo Dumoulin .......
I announced for a long time my Blog quitting if there wasn't going to be a significant upgrade in comments by different people compared to the number of visitors and more important compared to the number of music downloads.
Next week some statistics........
Shangri Las - Leader of the pack _best of

02-What Is Love
03-Give Him A Great Big Kiss
04-Out In The Streets
05-Give Us Your Blessings

17-Take The Time
18-Footsteps On The Roof
19-Leader Of The Pack
20-Past, Present And Future
Laser radio ('past, present and future') live is gone.... ??
We will have to wait what their future will bring.
Leader of the 'Popcorn' pack and now he's gone.... ??
Of course I am not the leader of the 'popcorn' pack. Far from that. I still consider myself a rookie. A lot of others know so much more about this (Belgium originated) musical genre. They also have a far bigger collection, far better in style quality and a more costly ... They could tell (...) so much.....
Visit these 2 great Belgium Popcorn site's with a lot of background info and the weekly party calender : Popcornoldies.com and Popcornoldies.be !
But I think I have succeeded in promoting Popcorn for over more than 2 years to a more worldwide audience looking at the number of downloads of those articles....
Last month I've had an offer to post some articles about Popcorn history. We'll see.
I've written about 2 (new) Blogs concerning Popcorn also : The world of Binky Spoons and Rotterdamrebels. Ehhhh, have you ever visited the Oldies-research-center ? And yesterday a new star in the Popcorn sky can be seen at BoUmBoUm.
Folks, all I can say comment, comment over there !!!!
This last article and download isn't Popcorn but I thought, because of those last 2 songs, it's a nice ending. Past, present and future.......

Comment section is still there...

Personal disclaimer
I don't intend to just give some LP/CD/songs away. My personal goal goes further.
But if there is, in my personal opinion, a serious remark about one of my postings like Sonja Reuter did about Johnny & Hurricanes I 'can do something about it'.

John Mayall's hard road in 1967
After Eric Clapton left the Bluesbreakers to form Cream, Peter Green played guitar on the following record and pretty much shocked everyone by being every bit as good as Clapton (maybe even better) ! With Aynsley Dunbar on drums and John McVie on bass, aided at times by a terrific horn section, with John Mayall on guitar, harmonica, organ and piano, this group turned out one of the best of the British electric blues albums.
Later on Peter Green left the Bluesbrakers to start Fleetwood Mac where John McVie joined him.
When I was 15 I made my debut in the first team of my soccer club. For several years I was topscorer of the whole region (about two goals a match..., not bad). Was asked to join a professional club. Never did. Always said I had to thank my fellow players, my friends at the time, and meant that fully. (Social) Fun was more important than the money. Never regretted my decision.
In them sixties, when I also studied at the university (I'll be ahead of you : I got my degree and in a minimal time), we never listened to the usual pop or flower power stuff but always to psychedelic and blues music like this.
John Mayall & Bluesbreakers - A hard road _1967

02-It's Over
03-You Don't Love Me
04-The Stumble
05-Another Kind Of Love
06-Hit The Highway
07-Leaping Christine
08-Dust My Blues
09-There's Always Work
10-The Same Way
11-The Super Natural

Single songs 2008_december
Please note, my Blog isn't a request Blog. For that purpose sometimes other sites can be of help like Grumpy's Golden Oldies... But when I like a remark and if I can and have time I wanna be of some help.
Requests over here will not be posted or honoured ! Just specific comments about the songs are allowed and posted.
Songs will be available in the comments to download for just a very limited time !
If you just wanna listen click the play-button > on the left.
My own choice... Johnny Thunder - Drink, drink (to the lady)
Advice to new visitors of my humble Blog
I suggest to ya not just check the item you were looking for but go through my whole Blog. I'm certain you will find other interesting items for ya.
Take your time to do so but start the archives at the beginning (2006_april). Most musical links (98%) are correct at this day of writing 2008_01_01.
You can also use the labels underneath an article which I added 2008_march_01.
Of course it depends on the time of day but you can also check nice examples of my Blog articles on my daily most popular pages.
Another way is to check on the left bar the entries of my 10 last visitors.
In some cases you probably get a html page of just the article plus the comments. You have to go the the comment section itself to be able to copy a link !!

Eartha Kitt died 2008_12_25
Andrew Freedman says Kitt died Thursday of colon cancer and was recently treated at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York.
Kitt, a self-proclaimed "sex kitten" famous for her catlike purr, was one of America's most versatile performers, winning two Emmys and getting a third nomination. She also was nominated for two Tony Awards and a Grammy.
A lot of info will be found on the internet the next days so I simply do a repost of my article 2007_01_27....

She's one of those special singers of the 50's and early 60's I like.
Look at Eartha's homepage but also at Wikepedia you can find a lot of info and more links.
I'll never forget her 'unique style' (and appearances) as one can hear in songs like My Heart Belongs To Daddy, Just An Old Fashioned Girl and Uskudar'a.

From October to early December 2006, Eartha Kitt co-starred in the Off-Broadway musical Mimi Le Duck. She has a role in the movie "Somebody Like You", due out in 2007, and is voicing the character of Fossa in the animated movie "Madagascar 2", due out in 2008.
So I wonder if she has enough time for her grandchildren.
I hope so : (grand)children are the niciest gift !!
I bought this CD a few years ago second hand for only Euro 1.5. A few tracks skipped a little bit but I think I repaired them nicely.
Mahalia Jackson - Silent Night
The ultimate Christmas song and performance in my humble opinion...
The ultimate gospel song... Recorded in 1941... can you believe that ?

Edit 2008_dec_15
I can't say there's a significant number of remarks in 6 months about my Bog or my articles are noticed. When I also compare that to the number of (unique) visitors and downloaded files.. Sad, sad.. Greedy, greedy..
This all also doesn't help to get a history/music discussion on my blog...
I suppose you, my dear visitors, are not interested in me going on with my Blog and want me to close/end my blog.

Derek & Dominos ft Eric Clapton in Concert '73
Derek & Dominos ft Eric Clapton - In Concert _1973

LP1: 01. Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad? 02. Got to Get Better In A Little While 03. Let It Rain 04. Presence of the Lord
LP2: 01. Tell The Truth 02. Bottle Of Red Wine 03. Roll It Over 04. Blues Power 05. Have You Ever Loved a Woman
QUOTE. It probably shouldn't matter that the music on this album was made over two years ago (the set was recorded at gigs at the Fillmore East in October, 1970) but somehow there's a strange feel of time warp. Perspectively speaking, the Dominos had done their first public gig only about four months previously, a benefit in England. A few weeks later the Eric Clapton solo LP was released, the one recorded while Clapton was on tour with Delaney & Bonnie and Friends. The album had been completed except for final mixing, which was delayed for some time, and by its final release date much of Eric's style and approach had changed; still the LP was the first evidence that Clapton had any vocal ability beyond an occasional "Crossroads." 1, 2, 3.

Widget 'Be the first to rate'
I like that.
I don't like the provider of this free widget (Outbrain) without any notice (well maybe to registered users which I was not...) suddenly added more internal and external links 'you might like'.
They are related to what I wrote, so not at all articles. At first glance it seems not commercial and maybe interesting but still...
So I consider to change or even remove this option.
What is your opinion ?
Ratings widget added 2008_may_13
So today 2008_may_13 I added a ratings widget. This way I hope to get at least a little feedback and a better understanding of your interests.
So please vote my articles/albums, it is just one simple click !!
Edit 2008_october_01. And when you vote extremely negative (no problem with that) please post also a comment why. It can help me !

Dismantling of Fortis
But one way or the other ....Dismantling of Fortis has been suspended
Earlier this day, the CBFA suspended the trade of Fortis shares on the Brussels stock exchange in the awaiting of the verdict which has been announced this evening. In contrast to the verdict made by the court of law nearly a month ago, the court of appeal declared the sale/takeover in which parts of the Fortis Holding will be sold to BNP Paribas and the Dutch government, must be suspended.
The verdict is mainly due to Mischael Modrikamen, a lawyer, who represents 2,000 displeased shareholders. He, and his 2,000 shareholders, share the opinion that the decision made by the board of directors was illegal and must be prevented. In order to solve this problem, the judge has appointed 5 experts. It’s their job to examine the correctness of the sale/takeover and finally give an advice so the judge can make his final verdict.
Daan Van Parys
FORTIS
There are two sides on the balance sheet,
the left side and the right side.
On the left side, there is nothing right,
on the right side there is nothing left.
It's like the video yesterday : it all happens in Belgium....

Mel & Kim rockin' around the Christmas tree
But a simple Google search will provide you enough interesting sites. In the left collumn I placed last week a new (Captaincrawl) Search feature for Music Blogs. I promise ya it's worth to try it.
On the superb RotterdamRebels Blog you'll already find a lot of Christmas albums in our beloved oldies style.....
The meanwhile famous UK guy with the stiff upper lip Binky Spoons picked some expensive Popcorn Christmas 45's from his attic and is already recording them....
Reasons enough to assume you can do without me this year.......
Keld from Denmark requested in the (Chatango)shoutbox at the left the very funny Youtube video Mel (Smith) & Kim (Wilde) - Rockin around the Christmas tree.

Everly Brothers - Bye bye love
I found out internet and blogging is a nice thing. I'm also 'present' on other sites. One meets people, although not physically. My son plays poker on the internet for small amounts of money, just for fun. Poker is about bluffing... It's not ment for me. I like to be sure/certain. No gambling. Mailed with a professional poker player (well, she says she is). I am a kind of big brother also and I learned yesterday she's, like me, a fan of the Everly Brothers.....
So to 'bluffin' grandma Barbara an Everly Brothers video. Maybe she's forgotten the difficult lyrics. So for her a karaoke version.

Carolyn Hester and Bob Dylan in 1961
Time to 'complete' things.
Bob Dylan time line 1961
After performing at the Cafe Wha? on his first night in town, Bob continues to play in Village coffeehouses using the name Bob Dylan. Before long he receives his first paid gig at NYU's Student Center, then as the support act for John Lee Hooker at Gerde's Folk City. He performs at Carnegie Hall to a sparse audience of 53 people, mostly friends. He plays harmonica on Harry Belafonte's album Midnight Special. While playing harmonica at a session for Carolyn Hester at Columbia Records, Dylan impresses producer John Hammond, who signs him to a five-year contract. His debut recording, entitled Bob Dylan, contains two original songs and an assortment of blues and traditional covers.

Referring keywords
Visitors came to me by searching for artists like Elvis Presley, Emmylou Harris, Everly Brothers, Paul Anka, Jacques Brel, Rolling Stones, Beatles (in that order...), Fairport Convention, Little Richard, Sam the Sahm, Sam Cooke, Delaney and Bonnie, Connie Francis, Adamo, Roy Orbison and so many others.
Brothers and sisters also score quite well.
Popcorn is untill now, of course, the major music genre. Next month Christmas will be one of the major entries again.
This all means I seem to have something they are interested in and they hope to find rar-files of (live) albums which they can download.
Does this all make sense to you ? It does to me...

Only six weeks to go ?
I wanted to learn about the internet. I wanted to learn about Blogging. I changed a lot of the original chosen template of this Blog. Testing/developing my brain.
I reached my goal to get at least a few dedicated regular visitors in two years. A few ? As of today over 225.000 visitors came to my humble blog.
The number of visitors increases but my personal fun decreases.....
I wanted to stop 2006_december. I expressed my concerns about my Blog's future. I postponed the Lucky Luke article since 2007_december several times.
I suppose 99.90% of you (....downloaders...) don't 'run' a blog.
I'm thinking why am I writing this ? Stupid me. I seem to have a wrong kind of expectation of mankind/visitors like you.
I just changed the dates of the dec_31 articles to dec_15 or so....
Only six weeks to go ?
Heeee, a new Blog : JeansMusicBlog - no moderated comments..... just in case....

Rob Hoeke ah Boogie Woogie Quartet
Rob Hoeke, born in January 1939, was in the sixties and seventees the most well known boogie woogie piano player in the Netherlands. He lost a few fingers in a car accident but managed to keep on playing his favorite music. Rob Hoeke passed away november 1999 in Krommenie due to cancer.
BinkySpoons (one of those UK soccer hooligans sometimes coming to Europe) will like the above picture : Rob with a cigaret and a Heineken beer..
On another Blog I found the following text and Youtube video's (...I edited it...).
Rob Hoeke founded his first Boogie Woogie Quartet during the mid 1950s featuring himself at the piano, Wim Bitters on guitar, Kees Kuypers bas and his brother Paul Hoeke on drums. They became known due to the fact that they won prices at the Loosdrecht Jazz Concours early 1960s. Thanks to this success they were allowed to make a record, titled Boogie Hoogie for the Philips label. I found a great film fragment from a Polygoon film journal, as played in the cinemas, about the Blues- and boogie festival for amateur piano players in Bergen, in the north western part of The Netherlands, probably somewhere in the 1970s. The Dutch speaking visitors of this blog will understand the commend of the announcer; others should know that the film fragment shows the winner of the contest, Gé van der Pol. The members of the jury were the three major boogie woogie piano players of the Netherlands, Rob Hoeke, Jaap Dekker and Rob Agerbeek. The piano player who sings is Rudy van Ingen and the woman is mrs Bluys. The final shot is the winner Gé van der Pol playing a boogie together with the three members of the jury (double quatre-main for the connesseurs....).
On the right : Boogie Train (Dutch Rob Hoeke, Jaap Dekker, Rob Agerbeek and the Metropole Orchestra) - Boogie on the move. Rob Hoeke is the guy on the left with the moustache and red blouse.
Moustache ?? All pianoplayers wear a moustache ! Hey moustache BinkySpoons..!!
I have 3-4 LP's of the guy including today's offer. It's a reissue in the Philips serie Favorieten Parade. The LP contains 12 tracks (mostly Rob's own compositions) with titles as Astrid's Blues, Jungle Boogie, Schoolday Boogie and Breakdown Boogie.
Mid 60's a house-organ, a Philips invention called the Philicorda, came on the market. Rob Hoeke had a contract with the Philips Grammophone company and so he was asked to promote this new organ. Half of the tracks are pure piano playing, the other half is organ playing.
I added some Philips Philicorda GM 754 series soundsamples (not on the LP itself).

02-You Are My Sunshine
03-Astrid's Blues
04-Honky Tonk Train Blues
05-Tony's Blues
06-Swanee River Boogie
07-Boogie Woogie Stomp
08-Schoolday Blues
09-Jungle Boogie
10-Walkin' The Rock
11-Blues For Kid
12-Breakdown Boogie
Philips Philicorda GM 754 soundsamples : Chord / Pointless melody / Whistling / Sounds like plastic / Vibrato effect / Mellow sound / Close encounters / Trying to sound like an oboa / Wheeeee
Take another step to the comments...
By the way, I am really interested what you think about the music of this LP.
I am also interested in your opinion about the results of my effort to digitalize this vinyl I did in 2001.... I do better nowadays I think. I use CoolEditPro if you are interested. Reach (some or a lot of) my offers the quality of a CD ?

Cruisin 1970 Kris Erik Stevens WLS, Chicago
They were talking about weightier things, the Temptations were, riots and the environment and Vietnam and so forth, but their "Ball of Confusion" didn't just describe the world in 1970. It was also a pretty good metaphor for the state of the music industry and top 40 radio at the time.
It would have been simple if every 14-year-old had heard "Whole Lotta Love" in 1969, decided that top 40 radio as they'd known it was basically irrelevant, and made a beeline for the FM rock side. But that didn't happen - for one thing, most kids had to hear "Whole Lotta Love" on AM because there wasn't an FM rocker in their market yet. Besides, transitions take time. Remember that Doris Day was still having top 10 hits even after Elvis went into the Army.
That's why top 40 spent the next five years looking over its shoulder at rock radio but not, until the end, looking up at its rival. And that's why, during that time, almost anything went.
In the early 70's, you could say that top 40 tried to become FM rock radio and you'd be right. Listen to a tape of nights on KHJ, L.A.'s original "Boss Radio," in the early 70's and you'll hear a ton of album cuts - things that wouldn't even make the cut at classic rock radio today. You could say that top 40 radio went more bubblegum than ever in 1970 and, given the Osmonds, The Partridge Family, the Poppy Family, Bobby Sherman, Tony Orlando & Dawn, The Archies, and the Brotherhood of Man/White Plains/Edison Lighthouse/Pipkins (who were actually one British studio group), you'd be right, too.

Last night Miriam Makeba died at age 76
Miriam Zenzi Makeba was born in Johannesburg 1932_march_04. Her mother was a Swazi sangoma and her father, who died when she was six, was a Xhosa.

Miriam Makeba died in the early hours of this morning (2008_november_10) in Castel Volturno, near Caserta, Italy, of a heart attack, shortly after taking part in a concert organized to support writer Roberto Saviano in his stand against the Camorra, a mafia-like organisation.

President elect Barack Obama 20081104
We older people remember the days of hope for the future in 1960 with John F Kennedy. Now I am hoping the same way for your and my children.
Let's hope and pray there will be no crazy/insane/stupid person who makes an end to todays dream like we had beginning sixties !
An interesting note as you may recall. The difference between John F Kennedy and Nixon was 100.000 votes. Between Obama and McCain about 5 million votes....
After almost two years of campaining it is time to relax for Barack Obama.
