James Bryant ... my favourite music
Listening to music is the one pleasure that, without exception, we all like. It can also be a very personal thing as we often associate songs to special occasions throughout our life and these can trap us in a time warp! I'm no exception. Some of my favourite songs never reached the Top Ten but for me they remain evergreen and a remembrance of my youth. Below is a list of some of them:
1. Killing Me Softy with her Song by Roberta Flack XXXXX
Reminds me of my school summer holidays & the smell of freshly cut grass2. God Only knows by the Beach Boys
Reminds me of hot Saturday evenings in my youth and lost love XXXXX3. We'll Fly High in the Sky by Amen Corner X
First record I ever bought, vinyl 45 rpm4. Live Child by Diana Ross XXX
My favourite track while cruising5. Third Finger Left Hand by Matha Reeves XXX
Reminds me of Buckden youth club and the only song that would get me up on the dance floor6. In the year 2525 by Lincoln & Nebraska XXXX
Based on a nightmarish vision of the future as man's technological inventions gradually dehumanize him7. SOS by ABBA XX
Just like it8. Your Song by Elton John XX

me on the front but not my genitalia
