Amazing Songs & Other Delights #60 – The A Family Affair edition by Gaia, Renato & Raquel Pinheiro by Gaia, Renato & Raquel Pinheiro – Monday 26 @ Radio YÊ YÊ.

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #60 The A Family Affair edition by Gaia, Renato & Raquel Pinheiro airs tomorrow Monday, 26th , 3-4pm (gmt) on YÊ YÊ Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).

The A Family edition programme has songs by brother Renato and I sing together, through WhatsApp, including my niece, Gaïa, favourite song: CanÃ§ÃŖo de Embalar by JosÊ Afonso.

My brother and Iive over a thousand kilometers apart. We made good use of the fairies of technology. He is usually on speaker, strumming his Takamine or unplugged Les Paul model and singing, I’m not on speaker and or may not, be stunning my, unplugged, Strat model., and singing. Or humming the bass line.

The Beatles grace this post since they are a family affair. Our mum and her sisters, who were teenagers and young women in the 60s,lovec them. The first sing our parents dance to was a Beatles song. As a child I saw Yellow Submarine at least once a year on a movie theater,aming with every time it was shown on television. Help would be another much seen film.

There are two bands with two songs on the programe. The Beatles and Blur. We sing many Beatles and Blur songs. My niece loves Coffee & TV and its video. There is also the most Beatlesnesque song ever, not written by the Beatles, Oasis’ Don’t Look Back In Anger.

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #59 The Through Mountains & Valleys aka The Epilepsy edition by Raquel Pinheiro @ mixcloud.

Monday February 12th was International Epilepsy Day. I have two types of epilepsy, photosensitive – in my case affected both by light, and certain types of sounds – and atonic (my muscles suddenly lose contraction and I fall or things slip from my hands). For many people with epilepsy the condition is like traversing mountains and Valleys. In my case that happens mostly with photosensitive epilepsy.

Through mountains and valleys is also, literally, what me and my friend Matt do. Me when walking up and down the more, or less, urbanized areas of Porto – Porto is at the end of a mountain range. Matt lives in Los Angeles and if often at places like Laurel Canyon where, in the 60s and 70s, many musicians lived at, including Neil Young who has epilepsy.

The songs selected for the programme comprise those from musicians with epilepsy as well as those from bands and artists that lived at Laurel Canyon
