in the windmills of your mind
The first song Michel ever wrote was a beautiful ballad, “Once Upon a Summertime” that the band morphed into “The Windmills of Your Mind.” This emotional mash-up of Legrand’s songs really engaged the audience. Melissa said she felt lucky as introduction to the effervescent “Luck Be a...
RIP Noel Harrison. The vocal performance of “The Windmills of Your Mind” on the soundtrack to THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR is just my kind of thing From the American Clave series,a seriously swinging “Obatalá” led by Milton Cardona I just caught up with Ben Wolfe’s FROM HERE I SEE, a groo...

I tried to explain my plight, as a fat bassline from speakers the size of windmills almost burst my heart through my chest. ‘Fuck’. They were only going 2 junctions in my direction and, in what seemed like only 5 minutes, I was back standing on the hard shoulder. This time, I was...
