Some years ago now I wrote a post in this blog entitled You Don’t Know Me – this is a sort of revisit of that subject, but with a different emphasis. The topic was brought back to mind during my “70 for 70” project contacting ‘old’ friends and colleagues.

Reflections Around New Year 2023
Wow – a whole year without a single post in this blog – actually well over a year. 😮
Overcoming Obstacles
I have had a few people asking me to post some more music links – OK, maybe one or two people 
but it is nice that they have been missing my contributions. I have been considering doing so – although certainly not returning to the everyday posts – but waiting for something suitable (and worthwhile) to trigger me to start doing it. Today I found something.
What Is My Favourite ….
It is a question often asked – what is your favourite music; what is your favourite restaurant; what is your favourite book? The list is if not endless then very long. I don’t know about other people, but for me it is always a question that elicits an answer that is – at best – evasive. The problem, for me, is that all the topics on which one might be asked “your favourite” are extremely subjective and it is, again for me, nigh on impossible to come up with a definitive answer.
Wise Paraphrase
Perhaps an unsurprising source for something like this, but sometimes it is necessary to skip the political correctness and say exactly what you mean. I am sure that I have at least mentioned Dunning-Kruger before – the problem with something like that is that it seems like high falutin’ mumbo jumbo to the ears of many people – so perhaps it is better coming from the mouth of John Cleese.
A Fitting Finale
Well one year and around 400 pieces of music later this was the last of my regular shares of “my music” on Facebook….
A Hero’s Life
Back to lots of horns tonight for this week’s big work. Although this video is over an hour long, the Strauss only lasts about 45 minutes.
Russian Music For Easter
There are many pieces of Easter music being shared in different ways today. So I have gone for something less familiar so as not to duplicate.
Music For Easter Saturday
A slightly belated share for Easter Saturday
For Good Friday – A Requiem
For Good Friday – a Requiem. My first choice would be Fauré – but I have shared that before so tonight it is Mozart.
