Historical event, maybe some day soon

History in the future: who knows?

Not many people thought thought. Not many thought.

Maybe some day soon, for hundreds of years.

A story with a sad beginning. The return of success.

Thanks.

Maybe some day soon, for hundreds of years.

Musical Box

Carillons à musique or music chimes developed from elaborate snuff boxes produced in the 18th century. These snuff boxes would fit well into a gentleman’s waistcoat pocket, and were produced by watchmakers of Switzerland, Bohemia and Germany. 

However, it was in Baghdad that the prototype mechanical music maker was first constructed.

This is Van Credenza’s small musical box. 

Two Little Boys

 Written shortly into the 1900s, this song was made famous by one time highest paid entertainer in the world Harry Lauder. He was earning over $1000 a night for his performances before World War One. 

 Hartlepool United and Shamrock Rovers football fans also sing this song at matches. A version was sung in the movie 'Trainspotting', and Billy Connolly and Kenny Rodgers have also recorded versions. 

 Splodgenessabounds reached the UK charts in 1980 with this song, and several other acts have also interpreted the song, written by Theodore F. Morse with lyrics by Edward Madden. 

 Another version was performed by Australian Rolf Harris, and most recently he re-recorded this number with Froncysyllte Male Voice Choir.

Circus Batman + Steptoe = Hawaiian Suitcase

It's a new jazz incident from Van Credenza. 

A remedy for villains and a carnival for all in the colony. 

Fusion for the confused. 

Crunchy soul for those living in the strange factory.

A cheerful false question for everyone.

Buffalo Bill Floyd

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

While two of Van Credenza's members languish in a Turkish jail awaiting trial, the remainder of the band have turned to disc spinning.

Buffalo Bill Floyd is an example of their work at present, a Pink Floyd back track voiced by Malcolm McLaren and BIll Withers, the first time these three acts have worked together.

Mein Kaempfert

Miloslav Ladislav Geisler developed the ‘knack bass’ sound while working with Bert Kaempfert, James Last and Freddy Quinn. Although born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, he had been drafted into the German Air Force late during WW2, and while in a Danish POW camp, met Bert Kaempfert who had been in the German Navy.

They developed a musical friendship which would be key to providing the laid-back, relaxed Kaempfert musical style.

And thus the Nazis contributed positively, if unwittingly, to the present day easy-listening genre still popular with aged but enthusiastic zealots the world over.

Not Genetically Programmed

Coarse racist whisky drinking haggis and deep fried Mars bars eating bagpipe playing pale skinned ginger haired mean and dour kilt wearing woad painted genetically programmed Scots.

Van Credenza utilise basic instruments, bass, guitar and drums on this tune, plus a wind guitar, an unusual experimental virtual instrument first tested in Scotland: it is a thermo-acoustically controlled harmonic type generator.
