How time flies, it's a year since I posted on this blog - must do better in 2013!

 

I love this song - first heard it in the Sainsburys advert.

 

 

Christmas Music

Been listening to some Christmas 'pop' songs today - this George Michael song is beautiful and bittersweet at the same time.

ELO - back to the 70s!

Went to see the film 'Paul' the other week - being a bit of a Sci-fi nerd I really enjoyed it. One of the music tracks used was 'All over the world' by the Electric Light Orchestra. It rekindled my interest in ELO so I searched out my CDs and loaded up my ipod.

In the late 70's I bought a copy of 'Out of the blue' - blue vinyl, double album import (those were the days when import albums had cuts in the album sleeve) I used to play it regularly and sing along . One of my mega favourites was 'Mr Blue Sky'

Oldies but goodies..

Got nostalgic seeing as I'm fast approaching 50. My mother loved music and when I was young we had a collection of old 78s, 7" singles and LPs. I loved listening to them so I decided to see if I could find some downloads on Amazon. I managed to find a few of my Mother's oldies plus some that I loved when I was younger.

My Boy Lollipop by Millie was one of my favourites

John Lennon

What can I say -it's been 30 years since John Lennon was murdered. I often wonder what songs he would have written had he still been alive.

Rumer

I was going to comment on the album by Rumer - 'Seasons of my soul' - but my ipod is playing up again so it'll have to wait

John Lennon 9th Oct 1940 - 8th Dec 1980

Today would have been John Lennon's 70th birthday and I suppose you have to wonder what he would be like if he were alive today.
