My Hometown. I cross Newport Bridge on so many occasions. It's a wonderful cold blue sky day today & the river is high, you can't beat days like this to just wander around & listen to music in your headphones & Newport looks beautiful, it's got some great architecture and history.😊

Still busy working on many songs for next Armstrong album, I got guitar & piano ones, fast ones, mid tempo & slow ones. Only @wallytbm.bsky.social has heard rough versions of some so far. I wrote a piano song last week... could be a Bandcamp digital single/ep release soon - we'll see how it goes 🙂

Guitar practice 'Rainfall' by Armstrong - I have to practice playing this song often as I easily forget how to play these kind of guitar songs 😬 The original recording of this song is found on CD Album 'Songs About The Weather' available from @wallytbm.bsky.social Beautiful Music records (Canada) 🙂

ARMSTRONG JUKEBOX - currently playing the 7" single 'SAVE US' by Philip Jap from 1982? Think it charted just outside the top 40 maybe? Still sounds great and love the big production. Has a kind of Eighth Day Hazel O'Connor / David Bowie Scary Monsters feel in my opinion...

TUESDAY AFTERNOON by THE MOODY BLUES is my top Tuesday pick today Pop-Pickers! The first 8 or 9 Moody Blues Albums are superb - you must hear them if you haven't before. DAYS OF FUTURE PAST from 1967 is my recommended first album to listen to... 😍

Some of my Saturday Night playlist in the house this evening. Lots of mid-late 80s / early 90s electronic / dance / techno. Tracks I really love and then ending with the beautiful Neon Lights by Kraftwerk. 😍

Having a Pete Wylie / Wah / Mighty Wah obsession last few days. Re-listening to the wonderful world and album of 'A Word To The Wise Guy'. Such a Genius Album in every way. Thank you for your wonderful music over the years Pete Wylie!!

TV and Films I've happened to be watching and albums I've happened to have been listening to this week... some are new to me and some I often watch again and again from time to time... how many do you know? 🙂
