Welcome to my world of travel

Sometimes it seems like you go to sleep one night, wake up the next morning, and 20 years have flashed by. Well 2018 is here & it will be another great year. :)

Big discounts on hotel rooms.

Great deals in Bangkok & worldwide

Copacabana beach is the sexiest beach on Earth, or maybe it’s Ipanema, oh well, they are both magnificent.

Do I miss Copacabana? You bet I do. I have been there 8 times in 15 years, due for another visit soon, maybe 2015.

Robbie Williams at The Albert

From 2001, this is one of my favourite albums.

TripAdvisor is an excellent restaurant & hotel guide. However I always prefer booking hotels through AGODA as they seem to have the best rates & I can pay later or cancel. Check for yourself on this link https://goo.gl/t9W95Z

Earth Wind & Fire – After The Love Has Gone

Oh! Maurice thank you for this magnificent song that is and always will be one of my all time favourites. It has been special to me so many time in my life after the love had gone.

Empire State of Mind

If all the cities of the world could be likened to a horse race, New York would win by 10 lengths. Check out my blog, http://fivestarvagabond.com/new-york-city/

Vienna Waits for You by Billy Joel from 1977.

Good advice Billy. :)

Listen to this sexy babe sing.

Beautiful, amazing, captivating Melody Gardot. Totally unique.

One moment in time by Dana Winner

One word, INSPIRATIONAL!

4 Non Blonds from 1992.

Linda Perry had a smile to die for, what a shame she batted for the other team. :) In 1992 I was having the time of my life on the Gold Coast. http://fivestarvagabond.com/gold-coast-babes-1992/

A super song about Paris, just the fabulous accent makes me want to rush back.

Here is my photo blog from Paris in 2005. I really have to get back to this wonderful city. http://fivestarvagabond.com/david-herd-loves-paris/

This great song always reminds me of my wonderful parents

That certain night, the night we met, There was magic abroad in the air, There were angels dining at the Ritz, And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

Winds of Change aka Gorkey Park by the Scorpians

One thing I love about living in Thailand is always hearing the old songs being played around the clubs & bars, here is a favourite.

Sounds of Silence remake by Disturbed.

In my opinion this is the best ever re-make of a classic hit. Do yourself a favour and listen to it.

Te Busco by Ceila Cruz

This is a fabulous song from Cuba, I was lucky enough to see the Broadway show on this great lady's life.

Hallelujah by K.D. Lang.

Just beautiful poetry by Leonard Cohen sung perfectly by K.D. Lang.

Linda Ronstadt & Nelson Riddle

What a voice & what fabulous old songs.

Wandering Star by Lee Marvin

If you could pick a theme song that explained your character & destiny this would certainly be mine.

Those were the days. Mary Hopkin 1968

Yes, those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end. Working for McDougalls LTD in Clarence St Sydney, my first sales job. Life was incredibly exciting for me, I was on the road to success.

Little Darling by the Diamonds 1957

I was a student at Homebush High School in Sydney's western suburbs, this great song takes me straight back to those wonderful days.

Two hours of the Eagles

My all time favourite group. RIP Glenn Frey

The Great Pretender, The Platters 1955

Lead singer Tony Williams in my opinion had the best voice in pop & R & B until a guy named Freddie came along many years later. In fact Freddy also made the song a hit in 1987.

The Great Pretender by Freddie Mercury 1987

Here is your chance to compare Freddie with Tony Williams who made the original in 1955 with the Platters. I love the original but for me Freddie had the greatest voice in rock music, sadly he died way too young.

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) Green Day

If I had to pick just two songs to be played at my funeral this would be one along with Lee Marvin singing WANDERING STAR. Oh! hang on there is a third, Glenn Frey singing HERE’S TO LIFE.

Tomorrow belongs to me from Cabaret

You don't have to be a Nazi to be inspired by this fabulous exciting song. Great movie, great voice, great song.

Bertie Higgins – Key Largo

Here's looking at you kid, super song from 1982. It just so happens in that same year I spent a couple of great months on the west coast of U.S.A. with a hot Aussie babe and my good friend Steve Bates; Yeh, we had it all, just like Bogie & Bacall.

Kyu Sakamoto – Sukiyaki

I love this song from Japan. In fact I also love Japan as you can clearly see from the number of times I visit that great country. In fact I'm going again in October 2016.

Without a Song, by the greatest crooner that ever lived.

As a Frank Sinatra fan and I remember quite clearly how it all began. My family were fans of Bing Crosby, if you were Crosby fan you didn't like Sinatra’s music, naturally being a cheeky young brat I announced that my preference was definitely Francis Albert Sinatra, so what started out as a rebellion became a lifetime of devotion to his music. Later in life I managed to bring Mum and Dad into the fold & they also became great fans, especially Dad. Sadly both these great men, Sinatra and my Dad passed away in 1998 which made it a very sad year for me.

September Morn by Neil Diamond.

Neil Diamond was a big part of my exciting life all through the 70s 7 80s, I have always been a fan of singer, song writers who could play the piano. Next up is BILLY JOEL. :)

Piano Man by Billy Joel.

In many ways this song is special to me. The memory it conjures up is from 1975 when I lived in the Old Melbourne Hotel for 3 months. This great hotel had the best piano bar I have ever drank in anywhere, & this video is exactly like it was back then, even the crowd looks similar.

I CAN’T GET STARTED – Bunny Berigan 1937

This fabulous song from 1937 was featured in the wonderful 1974 film Chinatown. It was also in another favourite movie of mine from 1974, Save the Tiger with Jack Lemon starring. I can prove just how much I love it because I have used it as my ring tone for several years. :)

French Kiss soundtrack 11 fabulous songs.

Certainly one of my favourite soundtracks of all time, so many incredible artists. Sit back and enjoy this collection of great music.

Best of Billy Joel

What a fabulous artist, Billy added a huge amount of excitement to my life in the 80s.

Jimmy Buffett Performs ‘Margaritaville’

What a super song, by a great artist.

Someone like you by Van Morrison.

Simply a sensational song, it reminds me of my life in the 80s. :)

Boz Scaggs live in 2004,

As smooth a ever.

‘Baby Grand’, Billy Joel with Ray Charles

In 1986, Billy Joel released an album titled The Bridge, which was the final album of his to be produced by Phil Ramone. Watch the official music video for 'Baby Grand', a duet with Ray Charles that is dedicated to the style of piano that goes by the same name.

The very sexy Sade singing – Smooth Operator

One of the coolest smoothest tunes ever recorded by the very beautiful Sade.

Hallelujah by Jeff Gutt from The X Factor

One of the greatest songs ever written and Jeff Gutt really nails it on the X Factor.

“How Bizarre” takes me back to 1996.

"How Bizarre" is a hit single written and recorded by New Zealand group OMC. Another song that reminds me of the 90s.

Cowboys & Angels by George Michael

Smoother than a rat with a gold tooth. :)

Old Habits Die Hard by Mick Jagger

I'm not really a Mick Jagger fan but this track is exceptional.

A super version of a hit from the 50s by KOI.

These guys have got a sensational sound, they bring back a song that I am old enough to remember. :)

“Green Fields of France”. This wonderful song just breaks my heart.

Finbar Furey and Christy Dignam with a stunning "Green Fields of France".

The best of Norah Jones.

Sweet, lay back & very sexy.

You raise me up.

A wonderful song performed by two amazing Chinese children aged 10 & 7. This is a performance you will never forget.

Always look on the bright side of life.

The song touches on the British trait of stoicism with the "stiff upper lip" spirit in the face of adversity, and became immensely popular. It reached number three on the UK Singles Charts, and the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony in London featured a live performance of the song by Eric Idle.
