Name: Talkin' 'Bout The Boogie by Henri Herbert
Duration: 3 min 6 s
Description: Talkin' ‘Bout The Boogie boils like a supercharged collision between John Lee Hooker and Jerry Lee as Herbert recounts his experiences spreading his stomping boogie piano style all over the world “I got a supercharger in my left, gonna drive this engine right across your land”…

Saoil, a bheil stòras de bhàrdachd is beul-athris Ghàidhealach ann an clò nas luach-mhòr na 'n cruinneachadh 'Ortha nan Gàidheal' le Alasdair MacGilleMhìcheil?  Abair stòras airson Gàidheil is goill le chèile.  
In 1115 Earl Magnus (Manus) of Orkney was killed by his jealous half brother Earl Hakon.  St Manus has had devotional followers to this very day.  This poem is from the wonderful collection of folklore, Carmina Gadelica, by Alexander Carmichael.  

A Mhanuis mo rùin 
Is tu dhèanadh mo rùin 
A chuirp chùbhraidh nan dùl, 
Cuimhnich oirnn. 

Cuimhnich a naoimh nam buadh, 
A chomraig 's a chòmhn an sluagh, 
Cobhair oirnne nar truaigh, 
'S na trèig sinn. 

Tog ar seilbh mach ri leirg, 
Casg coin ghioirr is coin dheirg, 
Cum uainn fuath, fath, feirg, 
Agus fòirne. 

Cuartaich tàn agus buar, 
Cuartaich caor agus uan; 
Cùm uap an fhamh-bhual, 
'S an luch-fhèoir. 

Crath an drùchd on speur air crodh, 
Thoir fàs air feur, dèis, agus snodh, 
Dùbhrach, lus-fèidh, cèis, meacan-dògh, 
Agus neòinean. 

O Mhanuis nan glonn, 
Air bharca nan sonn, 
Air bharra nan tonn, 
Air sala na fonn, 
Còmhn agus glèidh sinn. 

O Magnus of my love, 
Thou it is who would'st guide, 
Thou fragrant body of grace, 
Remember us. 

Remember us, thou Saint of power, 
Who didst encompass and protect the people, 
Succour thou us in our distress, 
Nor forsake us. 

Lift our flocks to the hills, 
Quell the wolf and the fox, 
Ward from us spectre, giant, fury, 
An oppression. 

Surround cows and herds, 
Surround sheep and lambs; 
Keep from them the water-vole, 
And the field-vole. 

Sprinkle dew from the sky upon kine, 
Give growth to grass, and corn, and sap to plants, 
Water-cress, deer’s-grass, fern, burdock, 
And daisy. 

O Magnus of fame, 
On the barque of the heroes, 
On the crests of the waves, 
On the sea, on the land, 
Aid and preserve us.

My edited mash of Ennio Morricone's La Bambola, which I found on a fantastic compilation album titled MONDO MORRICONE some years ago in a record store in Camden, London.
