Lately I've been getting into Jackie Gleason grounge. Me and the missus, out on the back deck, early evening, overlooking the Mary River, croc eyes shining in the moonlight, dancing cheek to cheek. It's a particularly hot and sultry Aussie Summer this year. Stormclouds gather and intense flashes of blue silhouette the gum trees. The sound of glasses clinking as the mozzies hit the Zapper. Some Day ....

They used this song in the latest Pluribus episode, can't get it out of my head...

Lately, I've been getting into Revolver. No no, not that one. But rather, a French ensemble ....

Introducing the future. The Mighty Mellotron. 

Hot damn! The future looks bright. But let's tone down the excitement a tad with a bit of tasty Hammond ....

There was a post, (now removed I suggest because of unadulterated ruditity from a particularly vulgar Aussie band), that amongst other selections, included the fabulous France Gall. Here are more clips of this French pop legend from ye olden times. Friends, watch and be amazed and maybe, fall in love a little bit.

Better than Sting's 'Every Breath You Take' as a stalker song ....

But I do like this one ....

[Gavrick]

A song from the film "Territory" (based on the novel of the same name). The film is dedicated to the geologists of the 1950s who were searching for gold in the far Northeast. The movie was filmed in those very lands, on the Putorana Plateau (the nearest city is Norilsk). Harsh and, in my opinion, breathtakingly beautiful places.
The translation of the song below was done by DeepSeek, and it turned out to be quite faithful to the original text.

Ballad of the Children of the Ursa major (Great Bear constellation)

"— There are people who have a much harder time than others.
Some people can get away with anything, but they can't.
And they have to be better.
And if a person decides to live by their dream, they have to be twice as good.
— Why?
— Because most people are too scared to live by their dream."

Tramps need no home, no cozy bed
The ocean and land they crave
What songs the stars of the Bear have spread
Neither you nor I can save*
The ocean is vast, and the land is wide
We must journey through, you and I
The Great Bear watches, a distant guide
Wishing you luck, "Goodbye"

But somewhere a star has fallen from grace
Like a teardrop from the sky
And trouble has come to the children's place
Oh, Great Bear, hear their cry!
So pull on the oars, my friend, let's ride
Spare the swimmer, oh wave, we plead
Great Bear, bless us with your light as guide
Great Bear, intercede!

The captain is firm, the crew stands fast
As long as their hearts still beat
Great Bear, lead the way, through storm and blast!
Great Bear, guide our fleet!

P.S.
"In the past, ships were made of wood, but men were made of steel."
