I was once a gardener and then an Infant teacher. Still a massive music fan - all genres, but especially Soul and Motown. Women's football, Cricket, Cycling, Village Churches...Interested in most things - caring for the natural world especially.
I chose Britney, back in May. Toxic was my #1.
I wonder how many of your Top 15 were in mine?

Been going through my old vinyl albums to see what I might pick for the next Fave 15. Currently these 4 are highly fancied. Though the Ray Conniff might try the patience of even my most ardent followers 😁

Day 19. Strange.
Silver Convention - Madhouse.
One of my favourite album covers - and not their usual Disco at all.

I've been chasing a Common Blue Butterfly around the garden for the last 10 minutes!
Not very good photos, but still pretty. Seems to like the Michaelmas daisies.

A common darter dragonfly, I believe. Perched on my driftwood 'monolith' for about 15 minutes. That's made my day!

I've had this Ressurection Plant for over 20 years. A native of the Chihuahuan desert, it can survive for several years without water, by drying out, and curling into a ball. I last gave mine a drink about 18 months ago, until yesterday. An extraordinary plant.

Norma Jean - I like love.
Finally got a vinyl copy of Norma's album! She was one of the Chic singers. Nile Rodgers playing on this (especially after 3 minutes in) is my favourite ever by him.

She's a good'un!
10 years ago, pottering around charity shops it didn't take long to pick up these 12" singles. Always good for a bop.

Yes, I wish they'd recorded more in this style too. 'Once upon a time' is my favourite Donna double album. And here's what I wrote on YouTube last year.

And the stunning images on those cd singles!! I'm annoyed with myself for selling my copy of Cowboy Style. It wasn't released outside Australia/New Zealand. I was probably hard up at the time!

Billy Fury - The Sound of Fury (1960).
One of the very best UK RocknRoll albums, songs written by Fury. 10 tracks, 22 minutes. That's what we need more of!

Now here's a possibility...
The Four Tops- Reach Out.
1 or 2 decent tracks on it 😁:
Reach Out, I'll be there.
Standing in the Shadows of Love.
Bernadette.
Walk away Renee.
If I were a Carpenter.
