She was launched on 11 June 1930 by the Prince of Wales. In her time Empress of Britain was the largest, fastest and most luxurious ship between the United Kingdom and Canada, and the largest ship in the Canadian Pacific fleet.

What does the fact that the composer or the singer of a song was born or died or took a dump in October has to to with the song being catalogued as an October song?

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Levana Taylor Date: 09 Jan 22 - 11:10 PM October 17, 1867: Thirteen workers constructing the Hoosac Tunnel in Massachusetts suffocate after being trapped at the bottom of the "Central Shaft" by a fire above. See contemporary account and photos HOOSAC TUNNEL by Dana Robinson (Bandcamp) The final lines, calling the Hoosac a "cursed tunnel," allude to the tunnel's terrible reputation that led the workers to dub it the "Bloody Pit." Nearly 200 of the construction crew died there over the 24 years that it took to complete it, the October 1867 incident merely being the most casualties at a single time. As of the 1970s, the tunnel became a highly popular source of ghost stories and ghost sightings. |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Levana Taylor Date: 09 Dec 21 - 10:52 PM Addendum: I should warn that "Avanti ragazzi di Buda" is associated with the Italian far right and research into it is likely to turn up blatant Nazism. |
Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Levana Taylor Date: 09 Dec 21 - 10:47 PM SONGS ABOUT THE HUNGARIAN UPRISING OF 1956 The Hungarian uprising against Soviet domination lasted from October 23 to November 10, 1956. Later, János Bródy composed Ha én rózsa volnék (If I was a rose), generally interpreted as referring to the uprising (as well as continuing resistance). See LyricsTranslate for several translations. Its best-known performer is Zsuzsa Koncz; in 1973, she recorded it on an album quickly pulled from shelves (YouTube) and there are various live recordings of her. And here is Márta Sebestyén with a traditional-style unaccompanied rendition. After the suppression of the uprising, on January 6, 1957, Elvis Presley appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and asked for relief donations, dedicating Peace in the Valley to the people of Hungary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paeOBN5e7iM For the 60th anniversary, Desmond Child (of Bon Jovi) wrote Land of the Free, which made its debut in a choral performance on Hungarian radio -- see article with recording. |
