Romantic songs

You guys,Smartalex and Gbatrucks,are amazing,thanks for all the great music you've put up on this thread!

They can DJ the next board meeting!

GBA, are you a Django Reinhardt fan (hint)? Seems I remember hearing some of his Gypsy music...once upon a time.

Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli!

Oh, I get it...a band of Gypsies.

For sure a Django & Stephane fan... Also Ravi & Yehudi...
Saw these guys on Colbert the other night..

Just for the fun of it...

Speaking of Django & The Hot Club of France, this is one of my favorite groups, performing in the Django style....think I posted them up on one of first pages of this thread: Paris Combo

Love it! Thanks GBA. Any idea of what they're singing about?

Another one just for fun...

No clue...so I Googled & all I came up with were French lyrics...Google Trans. produced this:

It is in the port of Istanbul
Rocked by drunkenness
And folds wave
A man is cheering
At the bottom of a canoe
He sipped and savored
Liquor barrel
For all the pleasures
Of this land
It tasted bitter memories oh the flavors of life Bourlinguée

And in the port of Istanbul
At a time when the mosques
Speak to the crowd
Their prayers simultaneously
All barges
Their iron lungs
Sing the song
The song of departure
The great bell
despair
All sailors will not go tonight

This is Bourlingue, old cabins
Those waste to have all abused
This is Bourlingue, old cabins
Those waste have been mesmerized

And in the port of Istanbul
Since steel hulls
Are hot by rust
The soul of man is pierced
Old memories
That, in spite of himself bent
A tortured soul
His soul mataf
Bitter mataf

Because the future is now
Behind him, he knows he will not leave

This is Bourlingue, old cabins
Those waste to have all abused
This is Bourlingue, old cabins
Those waste have been mesmerized
 
ANYWAY, there is something about the lead singer (Belle Du Berry) that just makes my tongue  hard & my teeth itch...She's got that Leslie Caron look with the pixie hair-do (Kelly-Caron- American in Paris)

WOW!..So within the first 30 seconds I was searching Youtube to see who the back up was...I had NO IDEA that Nini played the piano!..Ham Handed, Clunky, upright-piano-in-a-saloon-with-swing-doors WONDERFULL!

Nina Simone - Piano
Al Shackman- Guitar
Chris White - Bass
Rob Hamilton - Drums

Here's the live act...

And ham-handing it in the studio...

Time to mellow out...got my glass of Bubba's fantisy tonic....fireplace..bear rug...Juanita....bye bye..

...AND SHE'S 18 YEARS OLD!

The little girl has a long way to go...and a lot to learn about Life, Love and the Blues.

Yeah, Etta knows what love is...

Here's a very special version of this song...

A friend of mine would like to add a few "canciones románticas" to the mix...

My friend thinks "los gringos" would appreciate this one...

My friend tells me the video is "una parodia" (parody). Well, duh...

Duets!

Here's a "gringo" who certainly appreciates one of those "canciones romänticas" suggested by my friend...
