Music can be so therapeutic and they must really appreciate it. Well done

Doctor Who theme tune by Ron Grainer & Delia Derbyshire for me as experimental early electronic music it is amazing. also showing my age the ITC production of The Persuaders by John Barry which had Tony Curtis and pre Bond Roger Moore as crimefighters.

sorry for your loss but no truer words said

Russell Mael put a picture of when they first come over to uk in early 70’s standing outside the Royal Albert Hall when they thought it a dream to ever perform there but as he said the dream finally came true

the new Sparks album is growing on me but all their albums seem to be one step in front of us on first listen and we have to catch up

that is cool. ive only ever dared nodding to the members of Marillion and would be tongue tied if i did so perhaps for the best. but Lucy Jordache Marillion’s manager has always gone out of her way to support me. She is married to Ian Mosley Marillions drummer so i think i would faint if she said come meet my husband but we do put these…

Marillion sometimes play the singles of The Misplaced Childhood album as Steve Hogarth prefers to concentrate on the songs that he performs on as he has been the new lad since 1989. Fish often plays the whole album on anniversary tours though his voice has altered a lot since he first performed it

the Fish album Songs from the mirror was a homage to David Bowie’s Pin Up album and a way to deliver his final album with Polydor as it released him from his contract with them as he went more independent from there

sorry but was an amazing weekend and even got a hug from Marillion’s manager Lucy. as she has gone out of her way to support me these last few years just by checking i’m ok each time i attend these last 7 years. they call Marillion fans family and each time i’ve attended it does feel that way

was a lovely weekend of music

Been away to a Marillion weekend last week and love this pic took on last night. though one of the balls nearly took my wig off then a few days later saw Sparks at Royal Albert Hall

This is an intresting subject love the pic of Clara Bow but there are cases where Black and White is better as I own a lot of Laurel & Hardy films which can be seen in either Colour or Black & White and I usually prefer Black & White and the 1933 King Kong film which i remember my kids only watched the colourised version. The thought of…

I find that good music new and old resonates through the years and some songs that you hear at the time you may not like at first but sometimes nostalgia hits in and that same song triggers a memory later in life and you remember it in a different way. so maybe the music of today will be the nostalgia of another age. this is why I love this…

Happy Easter. belated reply as been working all weekend. Hope you had a good one xx

The cover is open to any interpretations and what is great about it is all of them are right. The key to me is that i think it is important that sometimes we must at some point stop ……… take a breath and ask Why?

Amazing

lovely

Sadly nothing to do with music but pleased with my attempts at cosplay at a recent convention .

Valentines….not really but a belated Xmas present from Mona Lisa Twins from the online Xmas show but it was sent with love so thought I’d post it on today .Now just have to find a frame for it .

I must admit I rarely drink myself as I spent most of my life on call looking after my disabled son so at that time you never knew if you needed to get him to hospital at any time so there was that chance that I would have felt awful if I couldn’t have been there for him when he needed me. After he died It never really bothered me about drinking…

I went to my first rave last night.Now before you go I just want to admit that the last time I went to a disco was in 1984 and remember dancing badly to Ghostbusters. So it came as a bit of a shock to see 30 and 40 year olds dancing and dressing in what I first thought was fancy dress but was in fact nineties gear. I’m 55 and felt out of place…

What I’m finding is handwriting is getting to be a lost art as we are all typing into computers these days. On the plus side, I am now able to type with two fingers on a computer now so that’s an improvement

Splendid Girls .Both of them.

If the girls need someone to promote them they know to come to you . Well Done

This made me smile today xx well done Jacki

Thanks for that .Now I can have another relisten

It’s a strange one as normally i wouldn’t bother with mono releases but the Beatles one was an exception that I’ve enjoyed listening to but it isn’t a significant difference that you would say it’s the definite release but as an enjoyable alternative especially as some of the cd’s had stereo mixes on the albums as well but as…

Treated myself to The Beatles in mono cd box set and in some cases can hear a difference in the albums particularly in Sgt Pepper possibly as I know that album better than some of the others .Has anyone noticed any diffrence with the other albums or am I imagining things

Happy New Year to all xx

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to everyone and wasn’t the live stream amazing. You could feel the love coming through and so lovely seeing everyone on the video messages. it was a real special moment we have all shared xx
