Single songs 2008_august
From time to time there are suggestions or requests in the comments of my articles. Sometimes I honoured that in the past, but from 2008_july on (well, it will be a test) I will post them the last date of the current month.
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.

Alarm Clock Problem
I got some PC-prob's. Stupid me.... Although I tell others to do it reguraly I made more than a year ago my last 'fresh' 'Acronis image'.... Quite stupid.
So last days I was quite busy to check the additions and changes I made last year. It meant installing the last fresh image, upgrading Windows, Anti-Vir prg, Google Earth, copying altered Outlook adresbook (I store my Outlook data on a different drive), checking and changing password alterations.....
It's not finished yet but at the moment my system runs smoothly again.
Well, JeanDupree wake up !

Remember Jefke aka Beje #2
In Jefke's spirit here's the second part to his cremation, saturday 2007_august_25, one year ago. This second set was chosen by his family. The order of the songs is again my personal interpretation, certainly they/Marianne had an other order in mind. The last song, Big Maybelle - If I had you was played when they left the church, a worthy song also to end my personal remembrance to Beje with.
01-Al Alberts - Heaven Needed An Angel
02-Al Collier - Who Will Take The Place
03-Adam Wade - Rain From The Skies
04-Billy Preston - Let Me Know (Instrumental)
05-Andy Williams - More
06-Chuck Jackson - Love Is A Many Splendored Thing
07-Ben E King - Moon River
08-Carl Stevens - Call Of The Jungle (Instrumental)
09-Benny Turner - You Gonna miss me
10-Al McCarther - His True Love For You
11-Burt Bacharach - Any Day Now (Instrumental)
12-Ben E King - Stand By Me
13-Big Maybelle - If I Had You
Here's a Youtube video of Ben E King's classical Stand by me.

Striptease on my Blog !
Inge O turns 50 today. For weeks she's talking she wants a special event on her party : a striptease. I believe she also dreamt about stripteasing herself... And why not some sex on my Blog ? After last month's C's dream I present you
Inge's striptease dream
EDIT august_24.
I got some requests which song is played. It's Henry Mancini - A Shot In The Dark. For a limited period it's available in the comments !
And to make you happy, on her party in Kruibeke there was no male/female stripper, just some nice Popcorn songs provided by her dj-friends... :-)

Remember Jefke aka Beje #1
You're dead when no-one thinks about you anymore......
You're not really dead when you are still remembered. Your physical body may be gone but your mind/spirit lives on.
Today it's exactly one year ago Jefke Budts aka Beje died. A Belgium Popcorn compadre. I knew Beje just by some E-mails but I was told he was a warm person with a great heart and always willing to help other people collecting their favorite Popcorn music.
The last years of his life he fought cancer. He was told he had beaten his desease 99% for sure and he was, as usual, very optimistic. Sadly it couldn't be 100%....
In Jefke's spirit here's the first part (of the complete 'set-list') to his cremation, saturday 2007_august_25. The order of the songs is my personal interpretation. The provider of this family requested favor, Theo Dumoulin, certainly has had an other order in mind.
01-Dickey Lee - Am I Losing You
02-Jim Conte - Promised land
03-Paul Bruno - A Kiss From You
04-Benny Turner - You Gonna miss me
05-Dusty Springfield - Oh No, Not My Baby
06-Del Marino - I'll Never Be The Same
07-Mr Lee - If I Knew Then
08-Walter Jackson - It's An Uphill Climb To The Bottom
09-Don Carrol - Handful of friends
10-Carmen McRae - Belonging To You
11-Jerry Jackson - Blowin' In The Wind
12-Al McCarther - His True Love For You
13-David Ruffin - Action Speaks Louder Than Words
14-Kenny Gamble - You Don't Know What You Got...
15-Verdelle Smith - Piece Of The Sky
16-Tony Middleton - Drifting
17-Kenny Karen - Nature boy
18-Kenny Dana - It's Been So Long
19-Castells - Sacred
20-Ted Taylor - Close Your Eyes

Cruisin' 1956 Robin Seymour WKMH, Dearborn
This is number six in my/the small serie of Cruising records. You can get more info about this serie at the great Cruisin' blog.
The CRUISIN' history of rock and roll radio begins in 1956, one of the most exciting years in "pop" history, and to take us down this memory lane (with a beat) is Robin Seymour of WKMH, which was, when he joined it, a little-known station in Dearborn, Michigan. Robin came to the suburban Detroit station from the Armed Forces Radio Network and he brought with him a voice that mixed the warm, confidential tone of an intimate friend with the slick disc jockey rap we all know today, a blend which made him a natural for housewives and teenagers alike.
Robin never had any particular ethnic identification or allegiance - but the "Bobbin' with Robin Show" quickly found its audience, as he constructed a bright, orderly program that featured (almost exclusively) the records listed on the sales charts printed by the music press. He also was among the first of the nation's deejays to ask his listeners what they thought about new records, and hosted some of the earliest sock hops and commercial tie-ins with local record stores. In 1953 he was named "Disc Jockey of the Year" by Billboard, the music trade magazine. The following year he was given the same title by another publication, Hit Parader.
1956: President Eisenhower underwent an operation to relieve blockage of the small intestine due to ileitis, but physicians said he would be physically fit to run for re-election. Scientists said radiation was a peril to the future of humanity. Egypt seized the Suez Canal and the United Nations established the first international police force on the Sinai Peninsula. The first trans-Atlantic telephone cable system went into effect. The Hungarians revolted. Six Marine recruits were marched into a stream at Parris Island and drowned. The Andrea Doria sank off the coast of Massachusetts. And Elvis Presley and the spread of rock and roll nearly pushed everything else in this list of news stories right out of the conversation.
Cruisin' 1956 Robin Seymour WKMH, Dearborn.
Robin Seymour resume.
Robin Seymour hosted "Swinging Time" on CKLW until 1968. Seymour's career spanned everything from the big band era to the British invasion. But he missed a beat somewhere when he predicted that Elvis Presley was a sure loser, who "wouldn't last more than a year."
1956 was in fact the year Elvis recorded Heartbreak Hotel, Don't Be Cruel, Hound Dog and perhaps half a dozen other million-selling songs. The first of these (Hotel) appeared in the number one position at the end of April and that song or another by Elvis occupied the same lofty spot twenty-five of the year's remaining thirty-six weeks.
SIDE ONE starts with
Four Lads - Robin Seymour Theme
Chuck Berry - Roll Over Beethoven & Recommended Record Stores
Teen Queens - Eddie My Love & Faygo Root Beer Commercial
Roy Orbison - Ooby Dooby & Robin Seymour's Original Rock 'n Roll Review
Mello Kings - Tonit Tonit & Dog Pound (Remote) Announcement & 56 Ford Commercial_Four Lads
SIDE TWO continues with
Platters - Great Pretender & WKMH Station Id & WKMH Sports Headlines_Van Patrick
Little Richard - Tutti Frutti & Sunday Show Promo
Cadets - Stranded In The Jungle & Merchants Green Stamp Commercial
Dells - Oh what a night & WKMH jingle & Budweiser® commercial_Crew Cuts
Five Satins - In The Still Of The Night & Detroit Times Commercial
Carl Perkins - Blue Suede Shoes & Robin Seymour Theme_Four Lads & WKMH station ID

Popcorn & oldies Top20 _2008_08_11
It has been a while ago I have compiled a personal compilation album of Popcorn and other oldies.
Yesterday was a rainy day, nothing interesting on the radio so a good moment to digitalize some songs again. The result is here.
Please note it is from various sources. I had to remove crackles, use the equalizer, normalize a littlebit and so on. So, as usual, don't expect CD quality (although I have some songs on CD, but this is more fun...).

PopcornCity august Summerparty pictures
Last week I attended the third PopcornCity party in Antwerp. My navigation system failed a littlebit so I asked in Antwerp some ladies how to drive. What a coincidence : they too went to the same party ! As a small thanks they are on this compilation too. Yours truly is also visible but those pictures are a littlebit over exposed 'cause of the bold head and the whity/grey hair...

Sam Cooke's complete Specialty Recordings 3
We are so used to the name Sam Cooke.....
I must confess I wasn't aware of the fact that when Sam Cooke was with the Soul Stirrers his name was written Sam Cook...
If you check eg Wikipedia you see they say his birthname is Samuel Cook. How wrong.... It simply is just Sam Cook.
When you are a vinyl collector check the name on the record. If it's Soul Stirrers ft Sam Cooke it's a re-issue (scan at right) !

Jo Stafford tribute again
I find it extremely sad I cannot find a good video to show how well talented Jo Stafford was. But I found on Youtube some nice vid's which shows a littlebit.
At the left Red Ingle & Jo Stafford 'singing' Tim-Tay-Shun and at the right Jo Stafford as guest in that famous TV program What's my Line? What a funny lady !

Next are two tribute's of just songs with scans. At the left Jo Stafford & Gordon MacRae singing the beautiful ballad Whispering Hope and at the right Jo Stafford singing the sad song Thank you for calling my mother liked so much.
When a video has ended you can click on other videos on Youtube to see and listen more of Jo Stafford !!!
To us music fans a pure voice is gone. To her children and grandchildren a mother and granny is gone. Their loss is bigger. I truely hope little comfort to them is what she (and her husband Paul Weston) gave to the world ! I hope someday one of them will read this and will comfort them.

Who can it be? Hello, hello?
Yes, this is me
Darling, oh my darling
What a surprise
It’s been so long, why?
There’s tears in my eyes
When will you be here?
What time will it be?
Oh, you’re not coming?
I see, oh, I see
Well, I hope you’ll be happy
Thank you, I’ll try
Thank you for calling, goodbye
Yes, operator
I’ll hang up the phone
Yes, yes, I know my party is gone
But I’ll always love him
I guess, till I die
