Well it's Saturday morning and I got up at my usual time of 6:00, for breakfast and a look at the Christmas present I received, a book by the lovely Clemency Burton-Hill called Year of Wonder, which has a different piece of classical music for every day of the year. 20 January is An Die Musik by Franz Schubert, a beautiful piece, which I heard on YouTube then I wandered off, ending up somehow listening to Nigel Kennedy and Kroke Band, a collection of east-European pieces, which I'm playing now and enjoying so much that I've just ordered a CD from Eblag. Isn't the internet wonderful? While I'm broadening my mind, the rest of my family are snoring upstairs.

Just track 1 will give you a flavour:

Nigel Kennedy is a seriously cool guy. Always had a lot of respect for him.
 
From my alltime favourite album ...upstairs at erics by Yazoo..

I still have my copy, & the follow up 'You & Me Both', plus a few 7", & 12" singles
Alison Moyet v Adele?
Alf, all the way..........
However, if Annie Lenox & Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins/This Mortal Coil) were also contenders:unsure:





He was on played on Radio 2 earlier this week, I think it was on Simon Mayo, off-hand I can't remember what track
It wasn't anything like In The Neighbourhood, The Piano Has Been Drinking, or Rain-Dogs

Just looked, Simon Mayo, on Tuesday

This, one I've heard, but didn't know the title
I did just turn it up, sit down & listen though

I'll add anything by Klaus Nomi is almost undescribable......
