The Month Of January

We’re now a month into 2022, and if I’m honest it doesn’t really feel any different. But some things go on, including my round up of the previous month’s posts on my blog, and here we are again. After December’s twenty-seven post bonanza, January was a fairly quiet month for me: just the eight posts, all but one of which were music offerings. The odd one out was Last Year, my review of the blog…

A #SaturdaySong Revisit – A Little Late For December

One of the songs which I often feature in my seasonal selections for December got left out this year: I’m not sure why, but it missed out on both my Advent Calendar and New Year songs. It is one that I have included in my defunct-ish #SaturdaySongs series and I thought that, while I am still only a month late with it, I would squeeze it in for one of my occasional returns to that series. I’ll…

I’m Still Trying To Take It Easy

I was actually planning to post something else today, and had been working up the draft, but then Timehop reminded me of a piece I wrote two years ago. When I re-read it I decided to go with it again, as it says a lot about me. The other one will probably follow in a day or two – it can wait! As is my usual habit with these revisits, I’ll give you the original post and then return at the end to…

September. The month of the harvest – if it hasn’t already taken place. So what did we harvest from my blog posts in September? As has become my custom for more than a year now I’m bringing you a review of last month’s posts, in case you missed anything or simply have to see one of them again. It began, as usual, with my recap of the previous month, in Dear August, which included links to all of…

As I have done a couple of times, though not in the past few months, I’m giving a new lease of life to one of the posts which first appeared in my #SaturdaySongs series. As this first appeared on 19 November 2016 I think it a reasonable bet that most, if not all, of you won’t have seen it before. For me, this one is a revealing insight into my early days of listening to music and how new and…

Earlier this week, my good blogging friend Jim sent me a link to a blog by Marla, who I’d not come across before. He did so because she had posted an article which included a song that means a lot to me, and he remembered that I had posted it myself. Indeed I had, in Tuesday Tunes 52. But this reminded me that I had also written a longer piece about it in my #SaturdaySongs series and, as I’ve…
