Thanks Foxy and Feedback. Not only have I bought the June Tabor but in Feedback’s Album DayTop 40 Albums I came across Great Men of Gospel which sounded v appealing (and have also found a Great Women of Gospel […]

Donald Trump described his phone call with the Ukrainian PM as “Perfect”. Perfect what, though, is the question?

Yes the “journey” thing is really trite and often mentioned in health/cancer stories I see. The slogan I like in response is: “This is not a journey, I’m not a hobbit.”

Many thanks. It is you who are right. (Bit ironic I mispronounced it). Cards will need a trek to the South of London which may not be cost-effective!

Yes Retro, I am finally appreciating him!

Thanks, Gary. I wasn’t sure whether it would be a good idea to do it, but if at least a few people enjoy it I will do it again in future Bloggers, health permitting.

I’ve noticed lately guests on the radio (usually political) punctuate their talk with “Right?” at the end of every other sentence, in a sort of “Do you agree with me?” way. It tends to be younger people who are […]

Well I am doing something new as I miss contributing here because of health problems, so I’ve made a voice message review, in a Youtube video below. It’s a bit quiet so you may have to turn the volume up! […]

Thanks for letting me know – am in a Christmas mood at the moment (see future post on Blogger) so will get my set before they all go.

That was delightful. Lovely to have the music clips too. I will definitely put the Anthology Box Set on my Christmas wishlist – great to hear too she has a couple of new albums in the pipeline, as well as the […]

Very cramped on my mini ipad though!

I took that as a particularly enthusiastic response to Tig’s one-to-one before I remembered about the Lana Del Rey number.

Yes it was – v popular in the Second World War apparently and still on sale into the 70’s at least, Now I think it is only available in Malaysia.

Having looked at some sheet music, I could give it a go, though the jumping bass is a bit of a challenge. I would need to do it v slowly like your dancing. All I need now is a piano!

To remember the Treble Clef notes, back in my day it was Every Good Boy Deserves Favours (they may have fazed this one out in these times, though Donald Trump seems to believe it in his Ukraine request) and FACE […]

On a teetotal note, cocoa at bedtime. Though my stepmother still has Ovaltine before she goes to sleep, it got quite hard to find at one point and we had to order it on Amazon,

Lovely listen guys. Lots of fab music/pop culture analysis, great stories and Tig’s joy in music and so much else shone through. I hope you will repeat the babysitting Motown- and- dance sessions with your […]

Sounds very tasty!

Fish paste. I lived off fish paste sandwiches (on Mothers Pride White bread of course) for packed lunches at school every day for years. About zero nutrition. But I always made my own lunch and it was v quick to assemble!

Bananas on toast were always my comfort food as a kid, still eat it once a week!
