Cro Skips the Light Fandango (alone).


I hadn't previously realised what good musicians those Procol Harum boys were. Here they are bringing their big 1967 hit back to life. To my sensitive ears this 'live' 2006 version is even better than the original.



Lady Magnon flew off for a brief visit to London yesterday, so (on this St Valentine's Day) it'll be just me and the dogs, skipping the light fandango together.

    One member of Procol Harum went to my school but, I can't remember which one. He was older than me and, he came back for a visit and got mobbed !!!!
    That is a wonderful version of Whiter Shade of Pale.
    …. and, tell the dogs, " no tongues " !!!!

    You are the only man I have ever danced naked with (but not with each other), but it was to The Beatles I think.

    Wow what a great version! Must share this with my youngest daughter. She had this as the music at her wedding 23 years ago (Was pretty good played on an organ!)
    A summer concert ! reminds us of what is to come.

    I love a classic rock ballad with keyboards a good lead guitar break and which builds up to a crescendo. John Lennon loved this song. Any chance of some Emerson Lake and Palmer?
