Kingston Calypso

I thought I would upload a song tonight, a summery song. I have actually uploaded it before, but the video disappeared from YouTube, beside this is the whole song. It is a song that obsess me from time to time, from the very first Bond movie. It is about three blinde mice, a pussycat and a rat, but in fact the three blind mice are three killers passing as blind men, the pussycat is James Bond and by proxy the British Empire, and the rat is of course the evil Dr. Julius No. Immortal Joseph Wiseman. But in the end, it is such a beautiful atmospheric song called Kingston Calypso. Which I hope you enjoy.

RIP Joseph Wiseman

I neglected to mention this piece of news, but Joseph Wiseman died recently. He played Dr No, the first ever cinematic Bond villain in the movie of the same name. He was a great underrated actor who defined the role of the badguy in Bond movies, he was also a fellow Montrealer. At 91, it is not exactly a tragedy, but it is still in order to honour him.
