Oh this one particularly hurts. One of the frustrating things about getting old is slowly losing all those lovely folk who formed part of your childhood whether those people were family, friends, or famous icons. Although I was not an avid Dolly Parton fan, I always enjoyed her presence so hearing that she has passed […]

Covid Island Discs: The final Song So 69 weeks after the UK first went into lockdown I am finally bringing Covid Island Discs to an end. In theory the last lockdown restrictions in the UK were meant to be lifted on 21st of June 2021 although the new delta variant of the virus, which is

So far I have only cited one song from the Rolling Stones as I’m not a great fan of their music. However, my daughter was watching a seventies hits cable TV channel and the Stone’s classic song “Angie” came on. This is another song of the Stones I particularly like because it reminds me of

Countdown to the year anniversary of Covid Island Discs T -5 Like the song Daniel (Covid Island Discs Day 134), Crocodile Rock was a song that also was in that Hydro Majestic hotel’s Jukebox and one that my brother and I played over again and again as we played the pinball machines which were also

I think to finish off week 49 we should have another song by the UK band 10CC. This song certainly fits the upbeat feel of the songs I have cited this week. Another song which will get people on a dance floor at about 12:00 am when everyone has imbibed a certain amount of social

Time for some more Elton John. This song reminds me of a holiday we had when I was about 5 years old at the Hydro Majestic in the Blue mountains, Australia. In that hotel there was a jukebox and this was one of the songs that you could select. My brother Mark and I used

Staying on Shania’s money theme, I wonder if she got the start of her Ka-ching song from this all time Pink Floyd classic?

This week the theme is going to be musicals. The first musical I fell in love with was Jesus Christ Superstar. As I have alluded to elsewhere, it was through this musical that I was first drawn to Christ even though most Christians would recognise that the musical portrayal of Jesus is not really Biblical

I first heard the cover of this song by the Australian artist John English. Although his cover was good, the original version with the amazing saxophone part really is a pleasure to listen to.

So I’m trying to thread my songs together. The link went two songs while I was in hospital, the second was a George Harrison song (Covid Island Disc 7) and this naturally led to the Beatles yesterday (I mean yesterday’s Covid Island disc not the Beatles song Yesterday). So today I will share my favourite
