"...now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw..."

I think I played this to death on Robert Palmer's "Clues" album, back in whichever decade it came out, but it was those Beatles chaps wot wrote it.

Oh that's sad news - thanks for letting us know Pa. And sending speedy recovery wishes to Rob.

It's yours Yukio - thank you.

Thanks too to Edwin for offering to move his week, but I have gone for the gapless solution.

A public service announcement - Season 466 (Jan 17th - 24th) is available if anybody wants to take it on. See the sign-up thread at the top of the Seasons if you want to stop me picking the theme at...

Sorry to hear that Gina. Hope things change for the better soon.

In the meantime, week 466 (17th-24th Jan) is back up for grabs.

Happy Birthday Ryan!

I had no idea that Olivia Newton-John had been made a Dame, but heck, she deserves it just for getting into those leather trousers.

Another few weeks have been added to the first post, taking us into March. Hurry hurry....

Here's one I have wanted to try for a while, and Justice week is a good excuse. Leon Rosselson's "The World Turned Upside Down" is about the Diggers, a group of radicals who tried to reclaim the land...

It's all yours

One of my early music collecting phases was the walls of sound produced by Phil Spector - aged about 13, I borrowed a compilation LP from the local library, and had to find more. Somewhere in my loft...

Oh believe me, I have forgotten far more than 1 of them. Thanks to everyone for another fine Saturday night.

Details have been updated for next Saturday, if anyone fancies a break from whatever...

It's all yours - thanks for stepping up.

I have added another couple of weeks in February. Just sayin'...

Just been through my output for the year, including some I can't even remember doing!

This one stands out for me - a) it's a Diana Ross ballad, not the usual waters I fish in, and b) it has a key...

I wasn't around for last week's session, but I am assuming that this week it is Kevin's turn to host. I have updated the first post with the connection details, but if that is wrong, let me know.

Here's one I have always secretly liked, despite the terrible idea in the title, and despite the fact that, at this time of year, you can't have the radio on or go shopping for more than an hour...

I will be absent too, as I am watching an online gig - going at least part of the way back to normality.

See you next week I hope.

One thing I will always remember about Lesley was her sense of humour. I'd like to think this one would give her a chuckle.

Here's my 2020 recording of Lesley's beautiful song.

Me too. And maybe an original, which popped into my head while out walking today - mustn't let it vanish again...

One of the many songwriters I have discovered through the Seasons is Chuck Brodsky, and this one came to mind as soon as I saw the theme.

...

I may be stretching the theme a bit here, but I originally thought of doing this Elvis Costello song as a medley with another about beasts. Then I found that the lyrics of this one mentions legends,...

Looking like I won't be able to make it this week - hope to be there next time.

It's fair to say that Nick Drake was a troubled soul, but he made some of the most beautiful music, and his three albums have been with me for over 40 years. Whenever I play them, the soft voice and...
