How The Brits Rocked America: Go West - 1 How The West Was Won

Requested by Ronzoni....

As usual, left click this link to watch, right click this link to download.

Here's the blurb...

The first part of a series celebrating the success of British rock in America looks at how a British invasion led by the Beatles conquered America in the 60s. The groups were astounded by pizza, skyscrapers and real cowboys while America fell in love with a curious blend of swinging London and ye olde England. With contributions from Paul McCartney and Jimmy Page.

P.S.  Virgin Media (my broadband provider) is currently upgrading its systems to double speeds but as a consequence of their works, our internet keeps dropping out.  There are two interruptions to this video but I hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment too much.  If I manage to get a better file of this before BBC iPlayer people remove it, then I'll replace, obviously.

Dusk

Coming out of work at five tonight was wonderful because it was still light. Just. If it's a dry and cold winter day but light on exit from work, I love it.

And because it's dry I can sit on my wall too and listen to a very loud, alarmed/alarming blackbird from the walkway make its presence felt.

Night is drawing in.

I Get Happy On Drink

But no one to share my positivity with.
I am a person who needs friendship and companionship. I like a laugh. I'm not all doom and gloom. No one can join me at cam chat tonight. Perhaps no one wants to.

Insensitivity, Desparation and Tears

So down about my situation that I can't sleep or eat properly and because I was humiliated and laughed at and a flippant suggestion of lying was directed at me I'm very teary. There is nothing I can do about the situation either.

Feeling really frustrated at the injustice and disregard for my needs and feelings.

Very lonely. Very angry. Very frustrated. Very teary. Pathetic life I lead.

All I see is total blatant disregard for and indifference to me and my needs and feelings. I'm sick of everyone and everything.

If I had a gun now it would go, fully loaded, up against my brains or heart and boom. Gone. No more of anything anymore.

Someone kill me. Seriously.

Listen With Mother - Faure, Dolly Suite, Berceuse (mp3)

This is the signature tune which is rather more uptempo than the version on the programme but it still melts me into a happy nostalgic state!

Faure, Dolly Suite, Berceuse

This is the signature tune of Listen With Mother. This version is, frustratingly, of a faster tempo than I remember on the radio programme but still wonderful to hear.

Makes me want to be able to play the piano again. I reached Royal Schools of Music Grade V Pianoforte so perhaps would have been able to play some of this. :-)

I'd like to hear a version with a slower tempo, if anyone finds one. :-)
