Indeed, very good. I was playing Belcea Quartet’s Bartok 1st String Quartet earlier today!

Oh yes you’re right! I was mixing them up with Yagya, I wouldn’t consider them metal though, Sornai doesn’t really do it for me and it’s only available on Spotify for some reason, good stuff all the same

Special one this. Today is our 25th wedding anniversary but with it being freezing cold, midweek and in lockdown, the options for celebrating are limited. All party plans postponed for later in the year but, instead, we have a few bottles of bubbles and are playing our songs.

This one, from Roberta Flack’s debut album is her version of a poem “Angelitos Negros” (Black Angels) by a distant relative of my wife: Andres Eloy Blanco, a Venezuelan poet and Foreign Minister in the 1940s.

A beautiful song from a beautiful album and special for Mrs D & me. We’d love to be out tonight celebrating with our kids but that will come. In the meantime music saves us.

New…but long gone band from a friend who posts from his vinyl collection on facebook. Well Qobuz have a few…albums, welcome back to late 60/70,s rock.

They class themselves as metal although they are soft metal in any terms. You can get Sorni along with the rest of their albums over on bandcamp but I’m sure you know that already.

Yes a departure from the inclusion of a guitar god. But enjoyable nonetheless. I’m a big fan of the two guys in the band Mark-Almond.

Some more of this guy from the days of Elvis, Ricky Nelson and even Elvis Costello.
