Today's youth have to make do with Ed Sheeran.

Poor old today's youth; all they have to fall back on is virtually instant access to every single thing since the advent of recorded music.

Us folks in the old days (before the reissue industry and the internet) had a choice of everything in the racks of our local record shop. Weren't we lucky?

Of course we were. We had bands like Slade, T Rex and Sweet on TOTP.  Winner winner

Thanks to BBC4, we still have exactly that. This also applies to Black Lace, Racey, St Winifred's Girls' School Choir, Paul Nicholas singing 'Reggae like it used to be', The Birdy Song, Rene & Renata and Rick Dees' 'Disco Duck'.

And, given the hail of urine-filled bottles that greeted him at the 1971 Weeley Festival, Marc Bolan may have regretted appearing on TotP.

Now hold on, don't be dissing Paul Nicholas - Dancing with The Captain was a classic. Grandmas Party was epic.

In all seriousness, while I still love music, I miss my own youthful obsession with it. But I find the less tribal, cliquey, exclusive way that we enjoy music these days much more healthy. And the sheer quantity of stuff I'd never discovered before from the past, even from my own teenage years, is great.

Couldn't agree more.

On the way to Yegen for the best natural spring water in Western Europe. We had an " Atlantic Rhythm and Blues Vol 3  " CD playing

" Ruby Baby "- The Drifters ,  " Devil Or Angel " - The Clovers ,  " Lucky Lips " - Ruth Brown, " Down In Mexico " and " Searchin' "-  The Coasters, " I'm Gonna Hang Up My Rock n Roll Shoes "  and " What Am I Livin' For " - Chuck Willis along with some other great oldies.

I may have " I'm Gonna Hang Up My Rock n Roll Shoes " played at my funeral.

There's a great bit of black and white film of this one from German TV back in the day. It's on YouTube, a really excellent live performance.

Currently, I am mostly listening to a CD of Wakefield Cathedral Choir singing Charles Woods' Short Communion Service in the Phrygian Mode.  I have chosen it for my own church choir to sing, when we sing the eucharist service in Salisbury Cathedral on All Saints Day, the resident choir being on holiday for half-term.  So, I thought I ought to know it, if I am to direct it!

Catchy title and certainly goes along with the philosophy "It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing!"

Many a true word spoken in jest, Oxford!  I believe that the Miles Davis-recorded piece, Solea, written by the Canadian jazz pianist and composer, Gil Evans, is in the Phrygian mode.

But my fave is Mile's A Day in Paris I don't think it's in Phrygian mode but it's cool enough to have been in the Fridge!
