Great to see everyone's posts today. I'm playing a few tunes after my daughter's Mamma Mia-themed 16th birthday party which was a great success I'm glad to say!

Enjoying this Beautiful South CD comp from 25 years ago. Don't Marry Her is included but there's no I'll Sail This Ship Alone. You can't have everything!

The voice of Charley Pride transports me back to the early 1970s when I enjoyed a pretty unrestricted childhood in Llandrindod Wells, a Mid-Wales backwater. My uncle Max would bring us a Pride LP every year he visited

Spent Christmas in Greenwich with my brother-in-law's family. I persuaded him to take me to Casbah Records, and to get his Depeche Mode singles out of the garage. Thin Lizzy 45 is a beauty rescued from Casbah!

Spinning this for my old friend @philk282.bsky.social who is partial to a slice of Sinatra. Think this was released in 1957

I only saw the Housemartins once so I wish I'd paid better attention but I got chatting to a girl from Gloucester half way through the set. My mates were not impressed😂

Me and the cat are playing a few 12s. He told me this version of Think For A Minute lacks pace. I always respect his views😃
