Paris DJs Soundsystem presents 1962 - Standards Versions and Revamps Vol.3
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2014-10-09

Opening with a standard penned by Doc Pomus and Phil Spector for Ben E. King, this selection of (mostly) covers released in 1962 shows once again that classics are timeless. The sixties are still in the early stages and the global vibe is swinging, just starting to get a little poppy, as you'll discover while listening to the calypso, blues, soul, jazz and latin musical arrangements we've picked here. Pass the word if you like the series, we'll be back with a new episode by the end of next week...

Madeleine Fredell, dominikansyster och katolikerna Ritva Jakobsson och Örjan Ekman diskuterar Andra vatikankonciliet i Rom och hur kyrkan förändrades av reformarbetet.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play.

1962 samlades nästan 2 500 katolska kyrkopotentater i Rom för att delta i ett koncilium anordnat av påven Johannes XXIII. Målet var att reformera, uppdatera och sprida ljus i kyrkan efter en lång mörk period under första halvan av 1900-talet. Johannes XXIII var tänkt att bli en ”mellanpåve” men blev i stället den som initierade den stora omdaningen av Katolska kyrkan. Just nu pågår 50-årsjubileet av konciliet och det är tid att se händelserna i backspegeln. Hur gick det till, vad beslutades och hur har kyrkan utvecklats efteråt?

Medverkande är Madeleine Fredell, dominikansyster, Ritva Jakobsson, katolik sedan 1954 och Örjan Ekman, katolik som arbetade i Italien under konciliet.

A lengthy interview by well known news man, Walter O'Keefe. Discover some of the history of actor and comedian, Alan Young. At the time of this interview he was the star of the television program, Mister Ed. Listeners to the Retro Radio Podcast have heard Alan Young as featured in his own radio program. I would play him more often, but there arn't many of his radio shows out there, and I'm pacing myself.
 
Originally formatted for a 2 hour broadcast, commercials, and station breaks have been edited out by a previous transcriber. Still it runs about 1 hour, 15 minutes. The format is to interview Alan at the top of the half hour, then go to music from 1947. Walter O'Keefe's interview covers Alan Young's early history, and his early career as a teenager. Also anecdotes of the show biz life, and wierd first jobs that Alan had. In a final segment Alan returns to tell about his musical ability, and some behind the scenes glimpses of his TV show. The show wraps up with a last tune, and Walter signs off with a deep thought to live by. He puts it so much more eloquently, but basically, "Don't long for what you don't have, and learn to enjoy what you do have."
 
Bonus Tracks:
None Today, the show is long, and already has music interspersed throughout.
 
PS: I want to add that this is a rare show. There aren't any other recordings of the Almanac program that I know of, and interviews are always good for sharing rare, candid moments
