Well I was a bit behind on the Trad Arrr front, because I was given Cautionary Tales (already had the second one and did not even know that there was now a third !).
Also given Rick Wakeman's Red Planet (excellent), which I followed up with 3 Ages of Magick by Oliver Wakeman & Steve Howe (also really classy).

Very happy with my music based presents, this year:
Three CDs: Eagles - Live At The Forum MMXVIII, Blue Oyster Cult - The Symbol Remains and the recent Rock Candy re-release of Black Rose's 1980 album, featuring Cher & Les Dudek. All excellent.
Also received Chris Hillman's autobiography and a new electronic keyboard. Happy days!

This means nothing to me. Jules That also means that "Shaddap you face" is also 40 years old. |

This means nothing to me. Jules That also means that "Shaddap you face" is also 40 years old. On holiday in Turkey a group of us were singing along to Ultravox in a bar. At the chorus one of the girls sang " Oh Piano" very loudly. "Why Piano" we asked "Coz that's what he sings, innit? Ooooooohhhh Piano" even louder... Many face palms  We still sing Piano when it's on the radio  |

A resurrection of this subject -
Regina Spektor - Home, before and after (a sublime collection of songs)
Carolyn Heston - Troubadour ( great collection of songs )
Lady Maisery - tender ( harmonious wonders from a sublime trio)
Labi Siffre - My Song ( completist collection of albums)
Eliza Carthy & The Restitution - Queen of the Whirl (from the queen of folk)
Paul Brett - Stone Survivor (4 cd box from eclectic guitarist)
Toyah - Anthem (2 cd and dvd classic Toyah)
Joan Armatrading - whatever’s for us ( surprising overlooked class album)
Rachel Unthank and the Winterset - Cruel Sister (brilliant early album)
Kevin Coyne - Sanity Stomp (1980 virgin Coyne album I can’t understand how I missed this)
Procol Harum - Exotic Birds and Fruit (3 cd set of class album).
Quite a good haul I think

Not much music-related this year. The youngest son bought me a copy of the new FC book, but I had already got myself a copy, so he replaced it with John Kirkpatrick's Wassail album from a some years back.

On the CD front just Dave Bainbridge - To the Far Away. It's had really excellent reviews, so I'm looking forward to it ...
