Flowers - For Real

This has to be one of the most beautiful soul songs around, for real. Such a sweet, sweet song that hits the spot every time I hear it. Too bad the original 7" is pretty much impossible to get...at least for under $ 500.

The version I'm sharing is taken from a bootleg EP Darker Than Blue Vol. 1. There's not much I know about the 12" release besides that there was never an original 12" version so this is a solid long mix/edit of the original vocal and instrumental versions.

~La Belle au Bois Dormant~

Once upon a time in a faraway enchanting land lived La Belle au Bois Dormant!

These lovely images tells a dreamy story of a Lovely Sleeping Beauty...Waiting for her Prince!

If you scroll back to my first image...You will find a piece of art which has been in our family for MANY generations! The story goes like this...My great, great Grandma passed away and my family didn't know where she had placed her will. As a last resort they went to see a Fortune teller. The Fortune teller told them "The Will" is behind the Rhine. No one understood what was the meaning to this. They all went home and returned to My great, great Grandma's home the next day and looked around again. There it was...The Rhine River resting in it's frame just waiting to be turned over. At last the will was found! Taped onto the back of this picture.

So that is the story about the cork painting from Germany which was passed down for many generations. I just loved listening to my Grandma tell me this story as I stood on one of her antique chairs staring at it for hours. I made her story last for hours and made it into my own little fairytale.

Does anyone have any lovely pieces that has been passed from one generation to the next?

Until next time, may everyone have a LOVELY DAY!

Beatconductor appreciation

Southside Break Crew, Beatconductor, Beatfanatic, Jazzconductor, Discoconductor, Southside Connection... Ture Sjöberg has aliases for every occasion but the common denominator of his multifaceted work is fresh, high quality tunes. Here's a couple of my favorite joints from a few years back that I've been feeling lately.
