WE GOTTA MOVE !

 


Qui peut dire, si le jour sera bleu ou bien gris?

or

WE GOTTA MOVE !

 

Another cross-country ride through my record collection, mostly 60s, some later, some earlier…

Initially intended to please German listeners as a couple of obscure recordings have found their way unto this, but then some really emotional tunes crept in and altered the course. The general idea was to cover different genres, thus the artists featured are from Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, England, the USA… the musical styles? You gotta guess!

I couldn’t help but reflect on some political statements of many moons back when things weren’t as alarming as today.
