Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

That music they are playing is an insult >:(

Radioman34

I think I'll go back to my easy chair and relax

Gloria

DON  not only an insult but they have cheated us of an hour of your much better music.  I thought at first I was hearing things when this started.

I thought I was hallucinating!!!!
My computer  froze and when I refreshed I got.... cacophony!

Don, do I have to disclose my sources? lol

Radioman34

I am writing this instance to the studio while my outrage is still fresh.

Hi Don,

In answer to Gloria's question several questions ago, she was asking about a movie with Jean Pierre Aumont acting as Rimsky-Korsakov and the name was "Song of Sheherazade" hardly a movie considered for the Academy Award...

Radioman34

Thanks Chya: I don't even recall the movie at all.

Chia


Radioman34

Lovely! Thank you Chya

so_P_bubble

What a tempo!  I can just imagine the dancing on that music!

JeanneP

It would be fun to dance to. Doubt I would last long doing it.  Use to love to Polka but not done it for awhile. Polish Weddings and Jewish Wedding are the most fun.

I've been spending a lot of time listening to some old favorites via YouTube on my new SmartTV downstairs. I also heard a few compositions from favorite composers that I hadn't heard (or don't remember hearing) before.

I take it we don't have a program today? I didn't see a programme listed.  Sounds like they sure fouled up last week's program. I missed it.


Radioman34

I can't believe I neglected to post my playlist :-[ :-[

All primed and ready to go :nanadance:

MarsGal

Hi Don. Here a little early.

Radioman34

i MarsGal.  Thanks for the heads-up.

Is that clapping, or castanets? I wonder...

Radioman34

Hi Bubble. I think it's hand clapping

so_P_bubble

I love it! I'll have to see if there is more of that kind, new to me.

MarsGal

I always liked to listen and watch Flamenco. Remember Delores Del Rio and Jose Greco? Greco settled in the Lancaster area and taught dance at Franklin and Marshal College. I didn't know he was close by until he died. Used to watch him on Ed Sullivan.

Radioman34

I remember Jose Greco and Dolores del Rio, but mostly from the movies.

so_P_bubble

Ohhhh lovely - that tune always makes me start and feel expectant. Piccata.

Radioman34

Ooops,  a bit of a hiccup there.  I have some editing ahead of me  :(

MarsGal

I think I have the wrong Delores. Now I have to go see if I can find the correct name. Looking for who was on the Ed Sullivan Show and who danced at the 1964-965 World's Fair in New York City.

Okay, is was Manuela Vargas that played the World's Fair. IMDB lists her as performing only once on Ed Sullivan (and not with Greco). She must have really made an impression on me. Greco was on Sullivan maybe five or six times.

Radioman34

MarsGal that name does not ring a bell with me.

Gloria

Finally remembered it is Sunday and I missed a whole hour already. I downloaded Windows 10 Friday night and have been trying to find everything for the past 2 days. Hope I did not miss Chopin.  :'(

Gloria I was about to comment that you picked a day to miss  when I'm playing Chopin twice. I am so happy you made it.

MarsGal

Hi Gloria. I think the Microsoft people must take some perverse pleasure in rearranging their menus, etc. so that you have to hunt for them. They do that with their software programs too. I still have to hunt for stuff they moved and in some cases renamed. The new placement for some things is not as intuitive and I keep forgetting where they put them.

so_P_bubble

The great Chopin... Hi Gloria, you did not miss it!
