Here's hoping we are going to have good New Year I'm reluctant to say what a rubbish century it's been so far as there's always the good times, and the fabulous people out there. On the other hand the bigger picture looks pretty grim. Thinking that art and music are here to save us from the selfism of business and criminality doesn't help much when our brothers and sisters keep supporting exploiters and gamblers!! I don't get how so many of those who have so little want to prop up the takers?!! ( I look a bit of a twod as I really don't want to get involved in politics - it would send me nuts!) I hear the sirens outside now, as I'm writing ... well, it's hard to fill up even a 100 words when I'm sure this site is about MUSIC not a bit of ranting in type... so I expect you to be shouting 'Get off!!' 'Stop the talking!' 'Who are you kidding?' etc,etc. Yep, music, get out some Roberta Flack, the Zombies, a bit of Gil Scott Heron, the Velvets, you know - Feel good, celebrate the end of 2019, celebrate the possibility of understanding, the hope for peace, and a little bit of ice cream!! Give us a bit of 2020 Vision, Baby!
