I expect she did, he was supposed to have been a bit of a "hunk" in his day although the Luftwaffe put paid to that. My favourite is "the very thought of you" but it has a crack so you get that ticking noise if you play it.Tingewickmax wrote: ↑Mon Apr 16, 2018 9:24 pmLong time since I looked. My grandmother did like Al Bowley as I remember. But I have got Gracie Fields at the Holborn Empire 1933. It's a boxed set, 12" 78's. It's original. Before the local concil's censors got their blue pencils out.

Any Soul music really, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Classical, anything that keeps me tapping my feet or fingers, although the dancing doesn’t happen for long nowadays, maybe 45 seconds….

Re: Music
That could almost be my list too Rod, with the exception of jazz! I'm more into classical now, especially Beethoven, which is timeless.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
Re: Music
Peter, the Jazz is not really my thing, it does have some very nice Sax on some but it is the Soul part that I enjoy the most. And the classical I have always enjoyed, I am not saying I know who’s who or anything, but I do love music and not too much of that stuff they do today.
Ok I am sounding like our parents I suppose, but at least the bands played their own instruments and are called bands. Not getting into a debate on todays music has I don’t listen to much of it really, but what I do hear I don’t particularly like.

Re: Music
I'm in agreement with Rod. Classic FM, radio 2 or local BBC radio ( for traffic news) in the car. I resist all attempts from passengers for radio 1. The modern stuff doesn't do anything for me either. I find it irritating. I'd rather have silence.

Silence for me too, Radio 1 is DJ’s talking about themselves…

Re: Music
Before 10 am it has to be Radio 4, I enjoy the sound of squirming politicians on the Today program. I cannot manage with anything loud in the mornings, the current wife listens to some awful local radio breakfast show and it makes me want to bite the furniture.
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!
Re: Music
Agree with you Jim, radio 4 anytime except the Archers! I also enjoy footy on radio 5. Now have a grudge with classic FM as they didn't play Dives and Lazarus (music to make you cry) as promised when we went to the Albert Hall recently ( cheap seats booked as a last minute treat )

Oh heck Jim, Furniture World would love you ….

Re: Music
I was shocked into shame to discover -
Walking the dogs in the rain this morning and had a thought - does anybody else like the Smiths?
The Queen is dead - best album ever and Mr M's clever lyrics are a wonder to me.
Like a bit of Nick Drake as well.
How these two escaped my original list is beyond me.

Re: Music
Can't disagree! If I was vegan I might feel the same as him. Saw him in Glasgow this year and the Vegan only food certainly wasn't a hit with me and the wife good show though..
Just ordered tickets for Madness, and just seen Bryan Ferry in Bristol. Soul 2Soul and Passenger in June
Take it you're not going to the Mexrrissey show ? A Smiths Mexican tribute band, Tijuana style......different! I am tempted....
Re: Music
Now Madness, Ferry and Soul2Soul would make my day…..
