All the best for a wonderful New Year to you and yours.
Some interesting stuff for me to explore there TS.Thanks.WIshing you and yours a happy,healthy and prosperous 2015
SB. So much music, so little time. Why didn't I name my blog that? Best wishes for the new year to all at Bear Acres.
CC. Hope you find something of interest. A fab & groovy 2015 to you and yours.
A very interesting list and quite a few tracks on there that I have not heard before. One of the many reasons I enjoy your blog is the music I have not encountered before. Will be checking out a lot of these tracks over the weekend. Hope you have a great New Year and all the best for 2015.
Thanks Scott. I'm struggling to catch up with everyone's posts after the Christmas break, but I'll get there. I note that you've listed your fave tunes for the year, which I look forward to taking a gander at. In the meantime and between time, here's wishing you all the very best for the new year.
Fascinating list and so much still to explore, I'll never have time so I'm grateful I can at least check out some as and when they appear here...
Could you ever have imagined 30 years ago when you wrote out that list you posted previously here that you would still be finding so much new music now? And also that some long familiar names would be making appearances?!
Happy New Year to you and Mrs S from Mr SDS and me - looking forward to more here in 2015.
Wow! that is some selections there. Like SB and other comments there is plenty for me to check up. Keep up the great work this year TS
