(img credit)My earliest memory of David Gilmour and Pink Floyd was around 1987 when their ‘comeback’ single “Learning to Fly” was all over the television.

Elton’s Looking Up on 32nd studio album and first for 3 years; ‘Wonderful Crazy Night’: a heads-up preview…
I have to admit I’ve only checked in with Uncle Reg very sporadically this century. I had quite a long visit for his inspired set ‘Songs Of The West Coast’ in 2001 (check the wonderful ear-worm ‘Dark Diamond’, with Stevie Wonder on spirited harmonica) and again in 2010, for his duo album ‘The Union’, with [...]

7 reasons why watching TV makes life better
(image source)Last week I traded a shiny and functional LED TV for 10 used cardboard boxes.Why would I do that?Why would I snub a whole summer of test cricket for a stack of rat-snacked cardboard?Moving house, that’s why.It makes you crazy.
