twist and shout today

lots to think about but, above all, great fun....more later perhaps but , for now, one of the songs today was "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Gerry and the Pacemakers which was adapted from a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical ("carouse'l" I believe)

here it is in another version as the theme song/ victory hymn of Liverpool Football Club (hometown of gerry and the pacemakers):

and

which is Glasgow Celtic fans singing the song to Barcelona fans on the day of of an Al Qaeda bomb attack in Spain which killed hundreds of people.....now that's the way you talk to people who are hurting: you sing to them...very cool....sad but touching
