Apache - Jump On It
Jet Harris, the original bass player with The Shadows has passed away age 71
So in tribute here are four versions of the seminal Apache - all classics in their own way.
This is one tune that really can be called a classic...

Slipping Into Darkness - The Funkees
A bongotastic piece of '70s Nigerian AfroFunk available for your listening and downloading pleasure here
and the original version by War below...
I am pleased to find there is an Australian group keeping The Funkees name and traditions alive, its this continuance of musical tradition through the generations that gives me faith in the future of popular music.

Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread
"Who are these superhuman beings, glorious and terrible, who share God’s joy when sinners repent, and who wipe out a third of the earth’s population near the end of time...Who are these heavenly messengers, not bound by time or space as earthbound creatures...? Are they omnipresent?...Are they all-knowing?...They are the army of God, the militia of the Ancient of Days....One can understand that when an angel appeared unannounced to Zechariah in the temple, he didn’t respond, “You little cutie.” Instead, “he was startled and was gripped with fear” (Luke 1:12)."

Destroy....
Six years old but still as true as ever......
There aren't many left here that haven't already self destructed, so perhaps what my old Nan said was true after all, can't remember the exact phrase but it was something like -
" if you just ignore them, they will eventually implode in a pustulant ball of their own inflated pomposity, and go away"
...No more heroes any more,
Just Tom and Katie,
Waving from the door,
Of their retreat in Tuscany,
A fame addicted nonentity,
And none to rouse us,
From the nightmare,
And lead us to the morning.
