The year of 2007

It was a summer that we will remember for not happening, for never arriving. However, one weekend the summer did arrive and we took a trip to the coast. On the journey we listened to the audio version of Sepulchre by James Herbert, which was nice. When this got a little too heavy we put on Radio Two, and we heard the classic Nancy Sinatra track Summer Wine. (I say classic but I had never heard it before)

Now we liked this track and so when we got home we searched for it, found out who it was and then went to youtube :-) And that is where we found this version, which is quite good, and which I would like to share with you.


PS, I don’t particularly like the Corrs and U2 are a little hit and miss with me, but together this really works.

Stop talking about who’s to blame, when all that counts is how to change

It is so simple; yet so difficult; yet so profound… life, let’s let James explain

That’s it, I am officially old!

Coming home last week from an event and I was listening to Steve Wright on Radio 2. (No, that’s not it, and Radio 2 isn’t for old people, with Russel Brand and co they have an eclectic mix of DJs). Still, back to my little narrative. Steve Wright plays a series of oldies, chosen by a listener, each afternoon. As I drove I thought I may switch the station as I didn’t really fancy listening to a bunch of old tracks, way before my time. However as the opening beats from the drum machine clicked in I felt as though I had been kicked in the stomach. Oldies? That was the Human League!

I think it may be time for me to hang up the guitar and get out the pipe and slippers.
