The great @billybragg.bsky.social was tremendous last night at the 49th annual @vanfolkfest.bsky.social including his long-ago hit, Waiting for the Great Leap Forward! Happy trails, Comrade
Getting into the groove at the 49th annual @vanfolkfest.bsky.social Outstanding day of music on Saturday, and more today! Woo Hoo!
Being the lovely guy he is, #Zverev hurls his racket to the hallowed turf of #Wimbledon, after losing his serve in the 3rd set against #Sinner…charming fellow
Norway 🇳🇴 keeper Nyland in tears after the match. He had played so well, but one shaky moment gave England 🏴 the winning goal
Hey, guess who’s coming to the @vanfolkfest.bsky.social ? The great @billybragg.bsky.social ! Looking forward…first saw him at a Ken Livingstone fund-raiser back in the day…my #Vinyl Saturday takes note with his “difficult third album”
RIP #BonnieTyler…I know Eclipse of the Heart was her biggest hit, but It’s a Heartache was the song we belted out at so many parties…an anthem for aching hearts everywhere, and playing now on my #Vinyl Saturday (LP cover damaged in a flood 🙁)
RIP Bonnie Tyler…so many parties, where all of us bruised by love shouted out the lyrics at the top of our lungs
Felix crushed by his loss…he gave it everything he had, and it wasn’t enough #Wimbledon
Jerry Weldon from New York on tenor sax at the Vancouver Jazz Festival…is there anything better than jazz? @coastaljazz.ca.web.brid.gy
What a moment!! Tiny Cape Verde 🇨🇻 ties the score against mighty Messi, er Argentina 🇦🇷
The great Mo Salah all smiles after Egypt’s penalty win over Australia 🇦🇺
A winner on #CanadaDay! Felix Auger-Aliassime through to the 3rd round of #Wimbledon for the first time in five years…another straight sets win….playing really well right now
RIP Canadian singer David Clayton-Thomas who died last week at 84. He hit it big as the lead vocalist with the cool group, Blood, Sweat and Tears, which we all listened to back in the day…this was their breakthrough album, playing now on my #Vinyl Saturday (Sunday edition)
