Music. What are you listening to right now?

Anyone been listening to the new Ed Sheeran album? I really like it

Couple of favourites:

The second one is the story of how his grandparents met. It gets stuck in my head. All. Day.

On your recommendation Ms Becks I 'acquired' a copy of this audio offering and listened to Nancy Mulligan.

That was really very much to my liking, I do have a fondness for paddy music, have played musical MC at dozens of Irish weddings, wakes, 1st holy communions, christenings and birthdays in my lifetime, not to mention St Patricks Day.

I haven't listened much to Mr Sheeran in the past but even my peers are giving a positive nod in his direction. Fear not about my listening source, if I like this I will buy the vinyl version and that format makes more money for all practitioners concerned.

If it doesn't tickle my fancy then it will fall foul of the delete button.

I'm glad to hear you like it @floppybootstomp! Do you like the other Irish tune, Galway Girl?

He's been getting some flack for this one because of the stereotypes. Meh, I still like it

 

[floppybootstomp]

Yes, I played all of it after I posted, looks as though it may be a stayer

As an old git I have a head full of many many memories. I recall walking into what at the time was my local, the Fox Under The Hill in SE London and hearing Woodstock by Mathews Southern Comfort playing. Also of the time were Voodoo Chile (slight return) by Hendrix and Paranoid by Black Sabbath.

A strange musical diet but those were the times. And now a new generation are singing the songs of my youth. I suppose a good song never dies.

The Fox Under The Hill pub, btw, has an SE3 post code which mostly is Blackheath, which is posh but my little alcoholic oasis was in fact in the less salubrious part of SE3 - Kidbrooke which for the most part was council estates. I've never really had any class

And what can I offer here?

A track from my brand spanking new long playing record on which even the track featuring Phil Oakey & Yoko Ono is good. This isn't that track. There are shades of Steely Dan here.

A few years ago we stayed in a hotel in Lauhglin (for a couple of days) which is on the banks of the Colorado river and is a small Casino town, in one of the hotels foyer was this elderly gentleman sitting on a chair with a guitar singing the old Country and Western and camp fire songs. I found a chair and sat listening all afternoon, I bought him a beer and dropped some $ in his dish. One of the best afternoons of the whole trip.
