Day 30: A song that reminds you of yourself.
I'm usually pretty grumpy in the morning but I'm mainly happy to wake up to a new day. The world might have a lot of shite in it at the moment but I am still lucky to be here.

Day 29: A song you remember from your childhood.
We had a strange collection of records to play on our Dansette as a kid. Mum and Dad were not music obsessives. I remember lots of novelty discs chiming with Dad's (honed on the Goons) brilliant sense of humour. Here's one.
