This week I am returning to what I would call my musical centre. There are few people and groups that really dominate my collection and Kate definitely is in there. This really was the song that launched her long and distinguished career. An amazing and let’s not be honest about it, an absolutely stunning woman.

A bit of a change in genre from my last song. I really like this song. Kenny Rogers creates a really strong image in this song of a mysterious old gambler on a train to nowhere giving his advice to a guy who is “down on his aces”. A song related to this is Covid

I am partly choosing my ten album covers based on the iconic album covers. This album was certainly iconic. This song tells a common story but has a surprising moral sting in its tail. January 2022: RIP Meatloaf

OK from yesterday’s post this Segway could have gone the obvious way (I listed three classic rock tunes which I could now cover) or the psychedelic way I shall choose the latter. So yesterday’s song was Eagle Rock by a band called Daddy Cool. The 3 hit wonder group Boney M wrote a hit song

Another great Australian band. This song captures the real sadness of the wondering spirit who is yet to find its home. “I’ve been back to South East Asia, but the answer sure ain’t there.”“Well the last plane out of Sydney almost gone…“
