Thanks Julie. Hope your laptop is ok. My blimmin' pc has taken to freezing completely if I put anything in the usb ports. :-(

I tried & couldn't hear anything..so maybe my speakers are playing up which is strange as i can hear music on FB

I'll have a listen on my OH's laptop later

Thanks Fiona; I will pass your comment on to him. I know he is a really talented guitarist and bass player but I can't really judge his mixing/composing.

Joy - now you are just sending me off on google hunts aren't you? ;-)

Again, thanks to anyone who has gone to soundcloud and played Tom's tracks.

Changed my mind; maybe I'll order one by Mireille Mathieu

Djangology :-)

I'm into the Bristol sound - so I think this is really rather good - I particularly liked 'Vadia'.

Thanks, Bob.

I knew I had heard the name - think I saw him on a history of music programme a while ago on Sky Arts.

Amazing to carry on without the full complement of digits.

I don't normally like jazz; I think you have to be more musical than I am to appreciate it.

As an aside I certainly don't like the random peeps I am hearing RIGHT NOW from next door - 7 yr old recorder "maestro".

Thanks to anyone who has looked at the tracks on SOundcloud.

Hi Joy

Pat was good fun and knew loads about music. First person to speak to me on here.

Those two names you mention sound familiar but I would have to google them too.

x Jen

Hi Joy

I remember Pat saying she was going to come round to look though our record collection lol

Im off to google those 2

Hello to "old friends" Jen and Julie :-)

Love reggae; I remember Pat in Circles used to post about reggae.

Just trying to decide which CD to buy of Stephan Grappelli and Django Reinhardt (sp?).

lol........you to Jen

TC xx

Oh I see - way better than drum n bass anyway. :-)

Gotta go now as pup is whining and licking the corner of OH's laptop - I don't want there to be teethmarks. Nice talking to ya.

My you tube isn't working so having a blow out on face book

Lovers Rock is what i call soft Reggae

Such a great link to have, to those guys. I'll be thinking of you when I hear the song now :-)

Just youtubed Rockaway - had never heard of lovers' rock before! Nice track.

My OH's G/mother used to cook a pot of food and Bob Marley, Peter Tosh & Bunny Wailer would have something to eat but this was before they were famous........Peter & Bunny were part of the Wailers

& His G/Dads name was George..but like i say it can't be proved
lol

Now a man with a voice is Beres Hammond..pure silk

Wow! That is cool; obviously they were mates? Great family story to have.

I have heard some Peter Tosh too but can only remember a bit of a Vampire track.

I don't mind a bit of Bob too

Though we'll never be able to prove it in the song No woman, No cry..theres a line that says " And then Georgie would make the fire light " that might have been after my OH's G/Dad

Hi Julie

Love a bit of Bob Marley myself. Paolo Nuttini's 2nd (?) album is very reggae ish.

I don't mind it now and again...but i couldn't go to a club & listen to it all night

I like my Soul & Reggae best
