Monica never apologise for music you like ,as we saw before everyone has differing tastes .Mine changes day to day .

Sadly the last actual CD I listened to was the children's story book "Shark in the Park!"
My own CDs are still packed after a house move three years ago.
To listen to music I ask my Google Nest, and often choose Stevie Wonder.

We are watching a fabulous documentary on Gerry Rafferty - full of his music. I never knew Billy Connolly was in a band with him.

In the car listened to Queen today. Last CD at home seems to have been Mozart’s Requiem.

I knew Joe Egan from Steelers Wheel's two brothers. One was at school with me and I used to serve drink to the other brother.
A piece of useless info!

I’m with Shysal, Lewis Capaldi. When he covers other singer’s songs he takes them to a completely higher level.

It just looked so pretentious

No, it doesn’t. What on earth is pretentious about Beethoven?

LadyHonoriaDedlock Sun 29-Nov-20 21:07:46

I don't have any CDs any more. I'm listening to Gustav Mahler's 3rd symphony on Spotify. Does that make me hoity-toity? I could put on some Annie Lennox if you prefer! grin

I prefer listening to radio. Elite Radio an Irish station, plays a good mix of country.

I found it on a fantastic site called Radio Garden, where you see the globe spinning round. You can stop anywhere in the world and listen to their local stations. Interesting, can waste a lot of time on it. radio.garden/visit/woodbridge/CnfVyhYZ

thanks for this.
i heard it mentioned on the radio the other night, and meant to look it up, but forgot, as usual.
it was someone far away overseas ringing in to bbc/ lbc, when the presenter asked how they heard of them, they said it was a lucky dip into radio garden.

i like angel vintage, based in havant hants, plays lots of oldies, by delightful amateurs.

Bryan Ferry currently in my ears [I use headphones so other half can watch TV]

I am an Alexa girl and listen to the late Ali Farka Toure an African singer and musician, his music is quite hypnotic. The two albums are Talking Timbuktu and The River album. He played sometimes with Ry Cooder.

Currently listening to 'Half as Good as You' from Tom Odell's Jubilee Road CD, his voice is amazing.

A selection of Irish ballads and traditional music that my DGD asks for when she's with us, she likes to listen to violin music especially and we dance about to it, she's just three and a few months!
She was with us last Friday for teachers' inset day.
