At the moment am listening to Morse from a CD> Annie.
I’m listening to ‘The best short stories of Mark Twain’ an audio book and I love the Male readers Southern USA accent, very easy on the old ears, not as sharp as the Southern Ladies voices (no offense to Southern Ladies) What a brilliant writer Twain was, these stories were written between 1866 and 1910, how different and simple things were then. Up to now, the only stories I knew by Mark Twain were Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. As me Granny used to say ‘Everyday is a school Day’.
I love listening to Audio Books as well jemflux
Have you heard " The Last Fighting Tommy " , it`s the strory of Harry Patch .
Makes very good listening
You might like Twain’s Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court also …
One for Annie
Annie, I seem to remember you are a big fan of Mrs Browns son.
This one features Joe’s guitarist Neil Gauntlett who is very sadly no longer with us.
Thank you Hammer, yes I like Joe Brown, he comes across as a lovely Man. Actually I thought “Guy” but then said pull yourself together Annie.
I have always liked Joe Brown Annie - and have been looking for a little song of his called “on a day like this” but I have only ever heard it once or twice and its not on any of the well known CDs.
Annie, he always brings forth a lot of memories.
It is a long time since Hackney Empire in 1959 but still fresh as today.

Thanks for the information Hammer - I will have a look and see if I can get the album.
You are more than welcome, I will have a look through my stuff and see If it is a track I have although in truth it is not one I am familiar with.
Must have heard this earlier today because it’s stuck in my head:
One toke over the line, sweet Jesus, one toke over the line
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line
Waitin’ for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
Hoping that the train is on time
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line.

Hi
I am listening to compilations at the moment, my husband has loaded about 400 tracks onto my mp3 player which keeps me entertained on the bus trip in the mornings
Perhaps Love - on the flute played by James Galway.
I love Celtic music, guess my Irish/Scottish roots kick in there. But since I am a self-employed business owner with a home daycare I always have to listen to children’s music. Do you ever get a song stuck in your head? My anti-song to the songs that get stuck in my head (like Head & Shoulders, Knees & Toes) are always U2 songs to save my sanity, heehee!
