My Musical Alphabet : K

Long time, no see. Lots of excuses for the tardiness of this blog but none to concern anyone.

I'll let the music choice speak for itself as this tribute to Mother's Day (in the UK). 

I seem to have got out of kilter and managed to post some earlier selections. Consider this the Great Reset.

I reached the letter K in my tour of the alphabet some time ago and have the following fine offerings for you this very day. I was at a flamenco song and dance repertoire recently and surprised that the auditorium was packed to the rafters. I mean flamenco guitar doesn't fit into the "nice tunes" category. Likewise the singing. Anyway, that is my roundabout way of saying that my musical tastes are, indeed, somewhat varied.

I am one of those folks that, Facebook tells me, has lived in 8 decades! In my defence, I just scraped into one of them and another one has barely started. Anyway, in that time I have seen fashions come and go but music has always been there, whether it be background noise like in the old tranny days or the more modern, let's see what the internet can find for me, ones.
Enough of the waffle, I know Social Media is calling on your time so let's get into my musical selection of the Ks. WARNING WARNING WARNING flashing lights from the outset.

K2 der Berg ruft

I'll bet that wakened you up! That was from the 90s from that days before I had a computer so it must have been tracked down after that but I've always had an ear for a bit of yodelling.

Next up Kraftwerk - Schaufensterpuppen

I possibly heard about this German band on the TV years and years ago. The TV programme "Tomorrow's World" had a segment dealing with electronic music. What is really strange to me is that I've never been a big fan of keyboards but this was something different. My pick from this band is the following which, in English, is Showroom Dummies.

Next up is something different(!) If you've ever been to the Austrian Tirol - highly recommended - you will have heard Das Kufsteinlied. I'll bet you've never heard it metalpunkedup. There now follows a clip of Wilfried doing his best to frighten off the tourists.

It's time to slip a sly little yodel in here. It's accidental, I assure you. We move across the pond for this next offering, to Georgia in the good old USA. The band are Georgia Satellites and their contribution is this (Keep Your Hands To Yourself)

We'll head back to 1972 for my penultimate offering. This is the band Kayak from the Netherlands. I know how I heard of this band - I have this on 7"! Anyhow, thanks for listening and if you want to ask anything or just give a WTF? go ahead.

Best 'till last : I haven't forgotten K-Pop. This one is special:
