This Sunday things are a little different. Happy it is, April 25 1974 is the day a military coup ended 48 years of dictatorship in Portugal. The signals were broadcasted songs that allowed the military to know if the coup was going and ahead. The first song to be played was the one we picked for today. E Depois do Adeus (And After The Farewell) sang by Paulo de Carvalho was the go ahead cue. It was actually broadcasted at 10:55 p.m. on Emissores Associados de Lisboa the night before.

Good morning with Marianne Faithfull reading She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron with music by Warren Ellis. Have a nice weekend.
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!
