#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I'm more concerned about the indiginous population, who will have to deal with the aftermath and rebuild, after drunk tourists like Bespin have already gone home.

Bespin 8,472 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Finally, we think it will be okay, here they tell us Irma has diminshed when passing in Puerto Rico, so everything will be good. It will rain and wind a lot, but not really more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,472 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 5 hours ago, king mark said: is there a lot of unreleased Aznavour music? On Cd, yes. The french studio recordings is now complete since the last complete CD boxset, but the most part of the international discography is still unreleased. The english, italian, spanish and german recordings. Aznavour recorded a lot, so we know that there are maybe a lot of "real" unreleased recordings in the vaults, but we don't know the titles. Last year, a CD of rarities came out with a lot of new versions of some songs, and a totally new song coming from the 70s. aznavour has a very complex discography, my website is pretty unique, I'm proud to say that I'm the first and only one yet to have documented it. But I did it with the help of friends all around the world. my two best collaborators are respectively From Paris and Israel. We never met, so we chat on the internet and we still make "new" discoveries on some LPs, new versions that never came out somewhere else, new takes. It's fascinating. My "catalog" is actually containing a little more than 1 200 studio recordings. universal recently transfered all the orignal stereo tapes, so they found new things. It's only the begining.

The complexity of JW discography resides in his collaborations more than anything else. It was a challenge to make it too. About Irma, well, I think the worse is passed. Since two days I almost prepared myself to die. Now I hope there is still an airport, because I want to get home now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Atlantic hurricanes are among the less deadly types of natural disasters. Their ability to cause billions of dollars in damage and upend lives is unparalleled, but they're not mass murdering disasters like tsunamis, earthquakes, or tornadoes.

Bespin 8,472 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Charles Aznavour: a 70-years recording career Legendary Charles Aznavour, 93-year-old, has more than 80 years of career behind him, but in 2018 we celebrate his 70-years recording career. Comedian and amateur dancer to the theater from the childhood and the adolescence during 1930s, it is after the meeting with Pierre Roche at the beginning of 1940s which Aznavour puts himself professionally in the writing. And it is Jacques Canetti, on April 28th, 1948, who engraves in the wax the first recordings of the duet. Chapeau! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
