Moros en Toscana

Italian Peacock Room in Tuscany

The extravagant residence Castello di Sammezzano sits on top of a hill in Tuscany, Northern Italy. Originally it was built in the Moorish style in 1605 for Ximenes d'Aragona and then re-designed between 1853 and 1889. After the war the castello was used as a luxury hotel until closure in the mid to late 1990's. It was abandoned until April 2012 when the FPXA committee was formed, aiming to promote and enhance the castle.

Renee Olstead sings Ain't We Got Fun


With lyrics:

Every morning, every evening
Ain't we got fun?
Not much money, oh, but honey
Ain't we got fun?

The rent's unpaid, dear
And we haven't a bus
But smiles were made, dear
For people like us

In the winter, in the summer
Don't we have fun?
Times are bum and getting bummer
Still we have fun

There's nothing sure
The rich get rich and the poor get poor
In the meantime, in between time
Ain't we got fun?

Every morning, every evening
Ain't we got fun?
Not much money, oh, but honey
Ain't we got fun?

Our rent's unpaid, dear
And we haven't a bus
But smiles were made, dear
Oh, for people like us

There's nothing sure
The rich get rich and the poor get poor
In the meantime, in between time
Ain't we got fun? C'mon

Every little summer, every little winter
Don't we got fun?
Twins and cares, dear, come in pairs, dear
Still we have fun

When I first saw you
I had but one thought
And then you chased me
Oh, until you were caught

Ain't we got fun?
Ain't we got fun, fun, fun?

I'm not too clever
But I might just say those words over
Thank you, kind sir, I don't mind, sir
Ain't we got fun?

Careless Love: Hugh Laurie



Love oh love
oh careless love
love oh love love love love
oh careless love

You make me
you make me weep
you make me moan
you make me
you make me leave
my happy home

Don't you never
drive a stranger from your door
don't you never never never never
drive a stranger from your door

It may be your sister
or your brother
you'll never know
don't never drive a stranger
from your door

Careless love
you drove me
through the wind and snow
careless love
you drove me, you drove me
through the wind and snow

You robbed me
out my silver
you robbed me
out my gold
I'll be damned
if I let you
rob me out my soul
