The last few months have been quite busy for me and the whole of August was a hectic one indeed. Since my last post, I’ve been to a music festival, a wedding, the French coast and the Edinburgh festival. Over the next while I hope to blog about my splendid time in France and about some of the many wonderful shows that I attended in the Scottish capital. As if all that wasn’t enough, I also reached a significant milestone in terms of years on the planet during the middle of August. See if you can guess what it was from the songs below
Summer of ’69 – Pelle Carlberg
69 Faces of Love – King Khan & the Shrines
69 Année Érotique – Serge Gainsbourg
Summer Of 69 (Bryan Adams Cover) – PYT
Friday Night, August 14th – Funkadelic
Time Enough for Rocking When We’re Old – Magnetic Fields
Don’t Be Ashamed Of Your Age – John Prine & Mac Wiseman
Forever Young (Bob Dylan cover) – Johnny Cash
Young At Heart (Frank Sinatra cover) – Tom Waits
Running On Empty – Jackson Browne
Reminisce (Part Two) – Dexys Midnight Runners
Who Knows Where the Time Goes – Fairport Convention
A Pirate Looks at Forty (Jimmy Buffet cover) – Jack Johnson
They chose a German title, a very slow song “Für mich soll’s rote Rosen regenen” by Hildegard Kneef. Every time something didn’t quite go the way they had planned they simply stopped and kissed…
Thank you, Katrin. My back’s fine even after dragging a backpack of cds and dvds around Edinburgh. So, what song did Katha go for in the end?
No way, I forgot it – again! Well, all the best! How’s your back? By the way, the wedding was gorgeous! Katha, Jörg, Kamila and Justyna say hello.
Why, thank you, Rod. It’s the mountain air, you know
69… no way!!! You don’t look a day over 40 Pat! ;-)
