This set of posts started out as a daily post on Facebook during the “lockdown times” in 2020/21 – sharing pieces of music that had some sort of ‘connection’ for me. They are, of course, a bit difficult to find on FB after all this time so I decided to recreate them here – alongside the many comments that were made on the original posts. Now that they have all been ported across I have started to add some extra posts to expand the original selection.
Boscombe Band – An Easter Tale
Although some of the videos of the Band have cropped up during my previous blogging I thought that it would be a good idea to bring more of them together in a series of posts. Many of them are, of course, available on the Band’s own website but this will allow me to create the record of these memories alongside my other music posts.

What A Difference an Arrangement Makes
My previous post was about a performance by Voces8 and Ringmasters and they once again feature here.
My Favourite Christmas Song
This is perhaps my favourite Christmas song – written by Michael Praetorius and arranged here by Jan Sandström
Some New Posts At Last
I have been concentrating so much on getting all the Facebook stuff across to this platform that I have somewhat neglected adding some new performances that catch my eye/ear. I have two such videos from the last few days.
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.
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.
