What a great closing show at the 2012 Olympics-after 50 years Ray Davies and The Who still cutting it…with great music…RIP Marvin Hamlisch,only one of eleven artistes to recieve an Emmy,a Tony,an Academy award(3) and a Pulitzer-from bubblegum sounds of ‘Sunshine.Lollipops and Rainbows’ to ‘The Way We Were’.The Busby Berkley Of Cocktail Music-Esquivel(pic.left) features on ’Malaguena’ and i’m getting in some practice for 2016 in Rio with ‘Mas Que Nada’ and ‘Desafinado’-sharpening up the samba moves with a little cuban music in between.Linda Ronstadt(pic.right) has given us a legacy of music from country to pop to Latin and great standards in her 30 studio album career and deserves a spot on Eastsidefm’s ‘A Taste Of Honey’…look for some Nelson Riddle arrangements in future weeks..check out the magic of Stan Getz and Nat’King’Cole ….back in seven days with MUCH MORE MUSIC just for YOU!!!..

About the Author: Love my music..anything with a great melody,arranged with either a BIG orchestra or a quality acoustic guitar......I enjoy passionate performances.. by the artiste(s) -that is always the main criteria for my choice of the tracks that make up the programme.....versions of great old songs and new songs that enable a response,a smile,a memory of a time and a place,to groove a little... ...many years of executive management in the entertainment business in NZ,Australia,Asia Pacific and New York enabled me to immerse myself in music and people....my two indulgences and I hope the music each week brings you some of the same responses.
