    Here we have Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Nothing Without You (Audio)
    Played on latest Words and Music, the theme was Out of my head - journeys of intoxication, inspiration and loss.
    Is that idiosyncratic? maybe not, but it is definitely Monday...

    Purchase/stream the album: http://smarturl.it/RW15-MMMore about the artist: https://realworldrecords.com/artists/nusrat-fateh-ali-khan/‘Nothing Without You’ ...


    (I'd have chosen Musst, Musst m'self)

      He's a popular guy, Global. Nusrat was also in the previous week's 'Words and Music' on Communication. There's enough recordings of the great man to just keep featuring him every week, and that would be no bad thing.

        It's certainly dialectically idiosyncratic, and perhaps it's a Scottish thing, but always a delight to see a comedy genius at work. The great Andy Stewart takes us on a tour of Scotland...

          I'm having a bad day on this forum...canna stand the stereotypical Andy Stewart and his awful White Heather club.

          Must be missing something....

          Aargh - have to agree to differ and move on.

            Fair enough, Global. We weren't allowed to watch the WHC cos my Dad hated it ... I still enjoy a wee bit of Andy as it would appear I wasn't scarred for life.

              More washboard, this time from the Washboard Serenaders in '34...never saw someone play a kazoo into a glass before. Happy idiosyncratic Monday everyone!
              Two highly swinging and steaming hot titles by the Washboard Serenaders "Dark Eyes" ("Ochi Chernye") and "St Louis Blues". They also recorded both tunes duri...

                  For people stuck in seemingly interminable traffic jams today, thought this old bit of idiosyncrasy might cheer folk along.

                    Not just because I’m hoping to tempt JC into some devastatingly witty comments but also because they’re wondrous... The great voices of Bulgaria

                      Au contraire, mon ami. On Skye at the moment and this blissful, soaring music is a perfect accompaniment to the Cuillins as we await the next, inevitable bout of rain. Thanks.

                        While most of the attention goes to Kinshasa, here's what Nihiloxica are doing in Kampala with the ancestral Bugandan drums and some electronica...hypnotic chaos is how I'd describe it...warning: contains flashing images

                            Not sure why I suddenly remembered hearing the Burmese boat harp when we visited Myanmar a few years ago. We had a meal at a restaurant on the banks of the Irrawaddy at Bagan. A musician was sitting in the corner strumming a saung-gauk, their national instrument.

                            Sample

                                The book I'm reading about guys(mostly) who collect rare old 78s just threw up the overtone singing cowboy - Arthur Miles gives us 'Lonely Cowboy (part 1)' recorded in Dallas in 1929 - almost ideal, I thought, for a particularly idiosyncratic St Andrews MonDay.
