New Year New Beginnings

Hello Angela, I have not played any music this morning. However, I am a radio buff early mornings. I listened to the masquerade suite by Khachaturian. So uplifting, good to be alive music. A great stress buster. Garviv

Garviv i just listened to the 1st movement the Waltz and it was so powerful and intense, so full of hope . I loved it. It reminded me of being in my twenties and waltzing around my brothers garden at a summer bbq , a lovely happy memory. Thanks for giving me a new sound, I have very little knowledge of classical music , who knows that may change.

Quite agree about blasting out some tunes for them cobwebs….. I have lots I enjoy but my go to for all occasions is Mezzoforte’s Garden Party, always worth a blast

 Halofan Hi Angela I am listening to Jonny Walker’s story in his own words on BBC Sounds. Great DJ, who passed a couple of days ago. As I boy I listened to him on my transistor radio DJing on radio Caroline. Leo

oh yes great memories of this jazz/funk . put me in mind of spyra gyra ! do you remember ?

I hope they realised how important they were to our youth. precious times.  i have to confess listening to the top ten on the radio at the back of church at 5.30 mass. my mother not happy with me hahaha

Early to mid 80’s I was a skinhead, so more into 2 tone etc, so the jazz funk came a bit later…. Now both on my playlist

Glad you liked it Angela. I will send you a few more suggestions that I find calming, stress relieving and joyous. I have assembled a playlist on Spotify which is a go to if Radio 3 or Classic FM is off mark. Still love my Americana, Rock and Blues music though. Garviv
