Such a long time has passed since I last wrote my blog. The trip to the states and walking the John Muir Trail made it difficult to listen for 4 weeks. then returing to the unfinished new school took all of my energy, but throughout this time I have been listening. I still hope to listen to 365 albums by 31st December. The issue really is time to blog and not having access to 365 albums. Thank you Dan, Luke for radio Luke and Frank for albums sent to me. I really do need more. Please help me achieve my target.
CD 233 Handel Messiah
This amazing peiece of music has been part of my life since I was 13 and went to the town hall to hear it with Jill. I have sung several pieces in various choirs. It is worth listening to regulkarly and uis very uplifing.
CD 234 The October Game Box of a Billion Lights
I have no idea where this album came from. I love the ccove! Decided to listen to it and was really impressed. Interesting intrumentals - bit 'noisy' sometimes!
CD 235 Menotti Martin’s Lie
Oh this album is sooooo special. Luke sings with the boys choir and then does a solo. His voice is wonderful. I remember being so afraid that my pounding heart would be pichked up by the recording equipment. I was more afraid and nervous than he was ........... but so proud.
The piece is weird! What an odd story.
CD 236 Herbie Hancock Head Hunters
Such a favourite. Why has I forgotten this album?
CD 237Pastorius Pastorius
Do I need to say anyhing about this album? Pastorius was just a legend and I get such pleasure from listening to anything that he plays.
CD 238 Laura Marling - A Creature I
Don’t Know
Hmmm - jury is still out on this album. I have listenbned several times but I dont enjoy it as much as the first album.
CD 239Manic Street Preachers - This is my truth, tell me yours
I cannot really recall ever havig listened to this band and the album was tucked in a pile of unloved albums that Luke and Dan had left at home. I enjoyed it ad will listen agian to this band. I am now interested in lsitening to whayt they are currently doing,
CD 240 Eric Clapton The Cream of Eric Clapton
An album which is quite mixed. Some tracks are clasic but some are rubbish.
CD 241 Beatles Magical Mystery Tour
Wonderfulalbum with some of my favourite tracks.
CD 242 Amy Winehouse Frank
I am really unfamiliar with Amy Winehouse in that I have never chosen to listen to an album but am familiar with the songs due to popularity of music and the fact that there has been so much coverage since her tragic death. Not exactly my favourite music but enjoyed listening - really well produced .
CD 243 Justin Timberlake Futuresex/Love Sound
An ok album. Listened a lot to thi once but it is not an album that I will have at the tp of my listen to for ever pile.
CD 244 Simply Red Stars
Oh i really loved this album and it was good to hear it again.
CD 245 Madonna The Immaculate Collection
CD 246 Madonna Confessions on a dance floor
I am not a fan of Madonna but am familiar with the music. It is professionl but not really to my taste.
CD 247 Oasis Definitely Maybe
CD 257 Oasis (What’s the story) Morning Glory?
How come i know these songs but have never have knowingly listened to an Oasis album.
CD 248 Van Morrison The Best of Van Morrison
Love this album anjd Van Morrison if I am in right mood. Some realm favourites.

Tis album was an amazing revelation. Slightly bizzare, but an interpretation of Hendrix. Enjoyed this - an unexpected delight.

CD 251 Prince The Hits 1
Please dot tell anyone that we had this album in the house. NOT MINE!!!!!! Dreadful album.#
CD 252 PJ Harvey Stories from City, Stories from the Sea
CD 253 Keith Jarrett La Scala
Beautiful improvised piano music. Never dull, always engaging. Demanding but wonderful.

This must be one of th ebest albums of all times. The musicains are just astonishing.
CD 255 PJ Harvey Let England Shake
Mercury prize winner - twice. I have enjoyed listening to her msusic.
CD 256 Lily Allen Alright Still
OK ........... I confess. I bought this album, but I did think that it had one or two interesting tracks. Perhaps I had been drinking wine or maybe depressed! I do still enjoy 1 track.
