I once knew that lady who loved to have music playing while we fucked, to this day some songs I should not normally care for still elicit fond memories of me.

Ravel's Bolero?

1812 Overture?

Don't worry about it Alan - we've all had trouble maintaining our ardour since the 5G started beaming coronawaves into our orchids.

the one bby Alan stivell is the one that introduced that traditional Breton song to the modern era.

the one by Meldis is a cover of the same... I'm puzzled, a quick search did not find her, she sings the material in the original version, though there are intimations she might be Russian... will have to look further into this.

The bots made something different with that melody. though I think it still is a drinking song.

but they are not the only ones to have done so, one instance is Blackmore's Night.

Yes I know, I have a couple of Stivell albums. I like the live in Dublin with the rocked up band.

This Finnish folk group decided to beef up their rather gentle normal style with Finland's best bassist of the time, Pohjola


Their normal style had maybe a gentle stand up bass


They had a girl, Arja, for a while. In my 20s I had a thing for this flat chested short woman.
