Hmmm, no idea. The link worked for me but maybe the clip is blocked where you are. But this is the song I meant!🙂

Sorry but only Bowie does that song justice.

I guess this is the point where I apply the forum rule agreeing to respect the views of others (however weird up they may seem to me😉). I really like a lot of Bowie songs but we're going to have to respectfully disagree on this one.

As an afterthought, I first heard the Nina Simone song when an amateur singer asked me to play the backing on classical guitar instead of piano. So I guess I have an invested interest in her version.

 

[ProfJames]

That is your prerogative MM. I actually think she kills it and doesn't do it justice but that is music purely subjective but not weird. This is how ro do a Bowie song justice I believe....................

Hi prof, I completely agree that music is purely subjective and my quip using the word 'weird' was used jokingly (perhaps not wisely) and not directed at you personally. I meant no offence/slight and if any was taken then I apologise unreservedly!

I really do like the Nirvana version BTW.

 

[ProfJames]

Fully understand Mike!! No problem sir, I like the term weird it sums us all up sometimes! The forum is made up of many differing influencers and musicians and it enables me to get a new take or view on music. I like Nina Simone, not my favourite, but I have great respect for her as a singer. Just doesn't grab me!

Glad to hear it! I was just about to send you a PM just to check that we're OK. I didn't understand your 'funny' rating to my 'apology'.

Sorry Mike, I meant to put a "cool" rating! I have rectified it and am going to put on the main light in my study so I can see the keyboard!

I see it - thanks!

By the way......you never lived in Coventry or Peterborough did you? I knew a Mike Morrell in the software industry

 

[MikeMorrell]

As it happens, I spent my working life in the software industry too, but not in Coventry or Peterborough. After I graduated, I worked for 2+ years in Stanmore on the outskirts of London before moving out to the Netherlands. At the time, I thought a year or so working abroad would be an adventure and good experience too. Just around the time I was think of moving back to the UK I met a Dutch girl and decided to stay for a while longer (it's now been 37 years!).

So I'm afraid it's a different Mike Morrell. I'm constantly amazed at how many of me there are in the world!

PS. Thinking about it, I did visit the UK once in a while for user group meetings, audits, that kind of thing.

Go figure that we even allow members that don't like John Coltrane to post freely on this forum.
One of them is even a moderator.

I am very proud of our "respectfully disagree" rating. It would be boring otherwise.
