Music Hall In Barcelona ~

The term 'Music Hall', or Variety shows, almost always conjures up the image of the old days with artists in a variety of entertainment fields, solo or in small groups, each performing what they were specialized at, mostly with Victorian costumes and backgrounds. Even the audience were dressed likewise, with ladies in long gowns and bit hats, and the Gents in tailcoats and fancy neck scarves. Very often they were encouraged to join in especially in popular songs with funny lyrics.

Times have changed, but somehow Music Halls managed to remain, even flourishing in some countries. In England I can understand better, it's a very old and loved tradition there, but I didn't know before the Spaniards too are very fond of it, including some young people. Understandably, the type of programmes have changed and moved forward with time, but the ambience and 'feel' persist in certain aspects; some popular old time variety entertainment died off, now newer and trendier but still in the form of variety, meaning several totally different type of entertainment all in the same evening.

Ultimate Eagles ~

Staged as part of the Festival of Guitars of Barcelona is a concert by 'Ultimate Eagles', the best tribute of the world of mythical band from the United States. The band is formed by ingenious instrumentalists Danny Vaughn, Michael Lawrence, Christian Phillips, Chris Childs, Ryan Aston & Chris Wright. These brilliant musicians recreate with precision & respect some songs from popular rock groups in the music history, authors of universal hymns, like Hotel California, One of These Nights, Life in the Fast Lane, or Hole in the World.

Killing Joke ~

There are 2 different programmes forthcoming in the Music Hall of Barcelona. 'Killing Joke' is one, Post Punk group from London, considered band of international reference in the music industry, offering one and only performance on the 17th April. Intriguing name. Not at all sure how to interpret Killing Joke. Maybe that's the purpose, up to the public how they wish to interpret it.

23rd Mar 2012 Trivials Of A Wedding

The Best Man - a true story ~

A groom chose his pet dog as the best man for his wedding, reports the Metro. Paul Nock told his new wife Kelly years ago that he wanted Scooby by his side on their big day. The health and safety training organiser, from Hull, said, 'I was away working in Dubai when the wedding arrangements were made and didn't think she would let it happen. 

But when we got into the register office I turned round and there he was walking up the aisle, with the rings tied around his neck.' The 27-year-old bride added: 'It was a wonderful surprise.'

Wedding Preparations ~

Jacob, age 92, and Rebecca, age 89, living in Devon , are very excited about their decision to get married. They go for a stroll to discuss the wedding, and on the way they pass a chemists. Jacob suggests they go in.

Jacob addresses the man behind the counter: "Are you the owner?"
The chemist answers, "Yes."

Jacob: "We're about to get married. Do you sell heart medication?"
Chemist: "Of course we do."

Jacob: "Medicine for rheumatism?"
Chemist: "Definitely."

Jacob: "Medicine for memory problems, arthritis, and Alzheimer's?"
Chemist: "Yes, a large variety. The works."

Jacob: "What about vitamins, sleeping pills, Geritol, antidotes for Parkinson's disease?"
Chemist: "Absolutely.."

Jacob: "Everything for heartburn and indigestion?"
Chemist: "We sure do."

Jacob: "You sell wheelchairs and walkers and canes?"
Chemist: "All speeds and sizes."

Jacob: "In that case, we'd like to use this store for our wedding presents list."

What kind of wedding do you want, my love?

I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance, A church filled with family and friends'.

I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for, he said:

'One that would make you my wife.'
