Blowin' Free
Introduction Mackenzie Davis has just given me an excuse to create a playlist inspired by the wind. The concept can spread into many areas and Wishbone Ash's "Blowin' Free" immediately sprang to mind but I hope to bring a lot of unexpected tunes into this playlist, which you may or may not enjoy.

Rocking Summer Memories
August is slowly drifting away with memories of other summers. No matter how hot it’s been summer has some magic to it. Soon it will be over and the autumn will begin. Then there will be those that will miss the summertime. So sit back and enjoy these songs of summer and drift for a while and remember.

Captain Lockheed And The Starfighters
Introduction Although I have always said that the most important thing for me is the music, my reawakened love for vinyl has made me fall in love with some of the more excellently presented albums, and I remember loving the embossed cover of this album as well as a lot of the songs.

Song-Searching
My dad once told me that the first time he heard "I, Robot" by the Alan Parsons Project play on the radio, he gave the station a call to learn what it was called. It also doesn't really have any lyrics to help him identify it.

Revamping My Teenage Record Collection
Introduction I was born in 1957 and as a teenager built up a vinyl and cassette collection. I knew that I had to move to CD when my daughter Juliet showed me what she could to a vinyl record with the player needle, though not a dangerous as what Kirsty did with metal magazine separators and a mains plug.

The ABC's of the 70's
Here, I would like to share one song from the 70's for each letter of the alphabet. There was more than one time in which designating one song for a letter was difficult.

Go Stomu Yamash'ta
Introduction As a teenager, I saw the cover of "Floating Music" by Stomu Yamash'ta and Come To The Edge and had to buy it immediately, just because it was so beautiful. I really did not know what to expect.

Benefits Of The Availability Of Digital Music
Introduction This has been partly influenced by Julian Cope's "Copendium" that I am reading at the moment and it is introducing me to a lot of music that I was unaware of, having said that I completely missed AC/DC although I sang several of their songs when I played with Spoon and The Abominable Showmen. You can see me here much fatter singing "Wuthering Heights" (Kate Bush) and Highway To Hell (AC/DC)
