Songs on Saturday ~ Fleetwood Mac
even seven would not be too many…..
Seven wonders….. why is it that most legendary, mystical, and magical things all come in sevens. Except the three witches of course ~ maiden, mother, crone.
I remember this from the days of my youth, when Stevie Nicks was second only to Debbie Harry in young boy’s dreams. And just who is Sara?
Please listen responsibly.

not all witches are unattractive
the cat is called Pyewacket ~ a minor demon
Tunes on Tuesday ~ Leo Sayer
he loved her against all reason, against all hope, against happiness
I remember when Leo Sayer used to sing wearing a Pierrot costume. I thought that was pretty cool, at the time. But have you ever been in love…..?
I know all there is to know about unrequited love. It hurts.
Please listen with compassion.

the tears of a clown
Tunes on Tuesday ~ Vincent
starry starry night
This is a song from my past, by a great singer / songwriter. He looks damn young here.
When in New York I always stayed at the Plaza, which is about a 10 minute walk from the Museum of Modern Art on West 53rd. The picture looks better in real life than any mere impression can give.
Please listen with compassion.

we’re both alone and lonely
Your Warm and Tender Love
I will not heal by going back to what broke me
This track is from Chris Rea ~ the album, the Road to Hell. That’s where I’m going now.
And it’s no fault but my own.
Please listen responsibly.

echoes of better days
In The Bleak Mid-Winter
my life is bleak, unhappiness is mine
Through no fault but my own the one good thing I had in my life is destroyed.
I am in the bleak mid-winter of sorrow today.
Please listen responsibly.

Christmas Fun ~ Greg Lake
Santa Claus has the right idea ~ visit people but once a year
When did you stop believing in Father Christmas, when did you realise that Santa Claus might not be real? When did you start thinking, that your parents placed the gifts under the tree?
Part of me still believes in Father Christmas, the small boy, and the grown man who believes that there’s more to this Cosmos than we can ever know. The part of me that believes in my Goddess Aphrodite, and that the sun will rise after every night.
Please listen as a child.

I believe the sun will rise tomorrow
Christmas Fun ~ The Pretenders
Christmas is the day that holds all time together.
For the first time since he died, this morning I had a fond memory of my father, from very long ago. It seems that Christmas transcends time and distance.
This song is another memory from long ago, something that would be played in my car on the long drive north from London to a little pit village in County Durham.
Please listen thinking of those far away this Christmas.

for the girl riding shotgun
who will be far away this Christmas
Christmas Fun ~ Crosby
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
but if the white runs out I’ll drink the red.
As old and as cynical as I am, this song, at this time of year, can still bring a tear to my eye. It reminds me of Christmases past, and gives me hope for Christmases still to come.
Please listen joyously.

Snoopy always seems to have a white Christmas…..
Christmas Fun ~ Wham
we accept best the love we think we deserve
Christmas is a time for love, but sometimes love doesn’t run smoothly. Even for the truest of true loves there are sometimes bumps in the road.
I’m going to be alone this Christmas, but there are still some people I love.
Don’t you just love the hair?
Please listen responsibly.
