what are you listening to at the moment?

[Newportnobby]

Feels like a struggle in the face of adversity at times, John

[Trainfish]

You seem to be winning the fight though. Good on ya

This was the front page just now- amused me at least

Happy Birthday Mick.

it must be an age thing,
but I keep listening to the Wolfe Tones.

don't really care about the politics of some of their songs,
they just remind me of my first posting [ to a certain RAF station then turned later into an army barracks] when we used to go to a certain pub, [later blown up with terrible casualties], and listen to great music, regardless of it's political persuasion.

for a while I feel 22 again, though not for long. too many years have passed, but things seemed much clearer / simpler in those days.

or is it just the passing of time that changes our perception ?

next would be Peter, Paul and Mary...
'Leaving on a jet plane'

a weekly favourite on the station radio when I was in the Gulf, played almost every Thursday for those 'gozomeies' on the VC-10 tourex.

after 13 months it was my turn, but sometimes I wish I was still there.

King Crimson - Cadence And Cascade (Greg Lake Guide Vocal)

A melancholy tune for a wet Saturday afternoon.

King Crimson - Cadence And Cascade (Greg Lake Guide Vocal)

I have that track on the excellent Island sampler album 'Bumpers'.
Am now playing KC - In the court of the Crimson King

Mick, do you think you're a 21st century schizoid man?

[Newportnobby]

Mick, do you think you're a 21st century schizoid man?

That will probably be my Epitaph, Trev

[Bealman]

Ah.... Island sampler albums. I've got a few of those. Currently on the turntable (although not switched on, because Mrs B is here) is that exact King Crimson track on a sampler called "Nice Enough to Eat".

[Newportnobby]

I have that one. The Mott the Hoople track 'At the crossroads' is brilliant. They were a great band before they went 'poppy'

[Bealman]

Indeed. There is some good stuff on that album - Free, and a brilliant Jethro Tull one. I was playing "You can all join in" a lot a year or two ago as well, but I'm stuffed if I can find it lately.

[Newportnobby]

Indeed. There is some good stuff on that album

And it was only 99p when I bought it new. I also bought the 'Bumpers' double album new and it still carries the sticker '29s 11d' A later Island double album sampler 'El Pea' cost £1.99
