I can't define what makes a moment except I know it when it happens. As the past decade wraps up I am thinking back in order to go forwards but Im not so good at letting go and the past 10 has been jam packed with...............life, good and bad but mainly good! A moment....my husband is sitting with his computer which is backed onto mine; he is calculating a way to win the lottery through statistics...

Dougie J posted the Georgie Fame classic Peaceful on another thread and it's got me thinking about those groovy tunes that used to appear years ago which radiated a kind of lazy, hazy good cheer. An elusive quality, but a most welcome one. First I'd like to offer up for your delight and delectation the *gorgeous* Sunny by Bobby Hebb...

The other night, I was surfing through some late night channels and came across the old 70's show, All In The Family. You know the one, with Archie Bunker, Edith, Gloria and Michael? It was a rather popular show for it's time. As I was watching, I saw Archie rattling on about Jews, Italians and even homosexuals, and I remember thinking to myself, "This would never fly today." Now, whether...

Words: Will Slater Recently, my dear old dad got out his box of old vinyl 45s to convert into audio files. These are mainly factory samples from when he worked as a sleeve designer for Decca back in the day. Being a man of retro as well as modern tastes, I selected a few of my [...]

There are few songs that I like as much as this one. Below, from the great wikipedia Hebb's parents, William and Ovalla Hebb, were both blind musicians. Hebb and his older brother Harold performed as a song-and-dance team in Nashville, beginning when Bobby was three and Harold was nine. Hebb performed on a TV show hosted by country music record producer Owen Bradley, which earned him a place with Grand...

Folks, it is a great time to be a Beatles fan. More specifically, it is a great time to be a collector of Beatles memorabilia and those grey market recordings.
