426: Summertime....?

Hi.

Today  is the day before Summer officially starts...

Nothing but rain ALL day!

So much for global warming....

But over here in Holland we probably drown before we get cooked [:-)

I'd like to present the versions I gathered past year,

together a 3 hour 52 minutes journey through

the wonderous worlds of this song.

Again I had a lot of help and feedback from 
Hans & Henry

(THANK YOU!).

I hope you guys & dolls will dig in

and find some real treasures here & there.

Sean Hayes

Hi.

 I'd like to invite you to discover the music of Sean Hayes.

(click the pic for a direct link)

The other day I was on a sentimental journey

and got re-acquainted with a lot of my favourite tracks

from this gifted singer songwriter.

Both the lyrics, his voice and the music are a

"schot in de roos"

as we dutchies like to say.

[:-)

3x Great stuff from El Gran Capitán Afrobeat

Yawn,,,,back from hibernation... or not?

That's the question, indeed.
I've had numerous reasons why I stopped posting new posts,
(mainly 'cause life was/is giving me shit)
and couldn't find reasons weighing enough to change that.

Now I'm thinking, I haven't changed, I still am a sucker for the 
weird covers versions, I keep my ears open for new funk, jazz, soul and what have you not.
I still stash away theme-laden songs ....
Hell, I even got a Summertime song I can't share with you, because of legal reasons....

My question is a simple one:
Should I bother putting out new posts?
With little to zero life expectancy of working links to the songs?
(me serving re-ups for every request....well it's sigh-full (to say at the least)
Does anyone really care for 25 new versions of Sunny?
Or, is anyone interested in 25 Nirvana covers songs?
Or even 25 new songs with the devil, a strut, all Hammond, drugs, 
all flute, or any other theme I conjured up in my posts in the past?

I feel blogging music and musical ideas isn't the same as it was back in the days
when I started this (2007).

But maybe I'm wrong.

If I am, please let me know, and (depending on the response)
I might spill the beans once more - every week!

God knows I (still) have plenty of goodies [:-)
