Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… …after my attempt at playing speed Wordle this morning I though I would keep the beat up and kick off this Sunday morning with Florence + The Machine and they are sounding mighty Fine!
Late breakfast in the sunshine this morning, 18 holes of golf with my son this afternoon, BBQ and a few beers after. What better way to finish a perfect day than Anita Baker “The Songstress” on vinyl.
If only every day could be this perfect …aaahhhhhh…!
John Bonham was born on this day in 1948
born on 31st May 1948 in Redditch, England
My dad painted John Bonham’s house. They became friends. I don’t think dad cared much for Led Zeppelin’s music, though he was very impressed by Bonham’s drumming which witnessed in his house. I remember him visiting our house and sitting in our front room on a couple of occasions. I couldn’t have been much older than 6 or 7. I must admit I was most impressed by his Jenson Interceptor parked outside…
