Music lover for whom sound causes intense pain, so I don’t listen very often. Spend most of my day reading old crime novels.
No politics, sports or doom!

Easing into the day with…

Ol’ Blue Eyes Is Back - Frank Sinatra (1973)

Who needs retirement?

For a comeback album it’s a bit dour, but still great (except for ‘send in the clowns’ not even Frank can polish that turd!)
