A year of songs:
I said this morning that one thing I want to do this year is to post more music content on here. So (foolishly) I've set myself a challenge of posting a song each day. To make it harder I'm imposing 2 rules: I can only use each artist once, and the song titles should cycle A-Z.

Today is Remembrance Day in the UK when we remember those who died in WW1, WW2 and other conflicts since. This song was written in 1916 and recorded by Irish tenor John McCormack in 1918.

You know we're heading towards winter when Brussels sprouts start appearing in the shops. For dinner tonight they're pan fried (not boiled) with bacon, onion and almonds, then some cream is stirred in at the end for a bit of luxury.

It should come as no surprise that this track by Irish band 'The Corrs' was co-written by Shania Twain's producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange. Just listen and you'll see what I mean.

This is one of my all time favourites. Writer David Paich explained that the song is about a man's love of a continent, Africa, rather than just a personal romance. It's been certified Diamond and is one of the best selling songs of all time.
