JOHNNY MATHIS..THE RHYTHMS AND BALLADS OF BROADWAY..ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS 17TH APRIL 2016


JOHNNY MATHIS EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS...REAL GONE MUSIC.

Tracks played...
Tonight / I have dreamed / On the sunny side of the street / Hey look me over / I could have danced all night / Spring is here / I wish I were in love again.

Highly mannered singing spoils some of the songs in this album set....the ballads being definitely more
polished than the up-tempo songs. Harsh singing and clipped words make the songs  almost unreal, however there are many goodies on the album. Mathis certainly improved his vocals on later material.***.

REAL FLU HAS PUT ME ON MY BACK FOR TWO WEEKS. COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW


How easy it is to never be ill..... something that has never bothered me over the last eight years of
broadcasting on Tudno fm.  Two weeks ago I was suddenly taken to my bed because I could hardly stand up with a virilent flu something which I never wish to see again. The last week I have been recuperating but still unable to speak properly or indeed stay awake for  very long. You could say age is responsible, but today, finally I feel better and expect to return to normal on Monday with TUDNO TALKS at 10 in the morning. After that I expect to be back to normal covering my usual programmes.
