That is just lovely.

Ordinarily I would have chosen King of America which is my favourite Costello but Get Happy is a tonic for these troubles times.
Still smarting that he had to cancel his tour before reaching Birmingham – yet to […]

Oh well it has to be done – this is my first day of working from home (essential business) so I might be playing some of these:

Stevie Wonder – Songs in the key of life
Weather Report – Heavy Weather

I hear what you are saying but the death ratio to cases is much lower in the USA than it is here. I think we need to put our own house in order first before slagging others off.

Agree with your assessment of Mount the Air – a superlative album.

That is great news @Gary even though Great might not really be the right word. Everyone in Europe is praying Italy heals quickly.
