Brew 5,377 Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Strange to say the piece that epitomises an English summer for me was written by a German. To park up in the peak district on a summers day, admiring the view and listening to the Pastoral - bliss. Until dearly beloved chimes up 'can we have some ABBA'... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,089 Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 I’ve elected to go ‘straight to crem’ so no music for me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trogg 2,002 Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 No music at my cremation just laughter. The wife has been saving logs for years , the place of it is behind a shed at the bottom of the garden, someone does not want to waste any money on me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or Morning Mood from Peer Gynt, by Edvard Greig or the Hebrides Overture, perhaps Fingals Cave, or something from the Planets Suite by Gustav Holst, at least he was English.

Willow wilson 891 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm listening to the new Boom Radio (DAB and online ) sounds good to me. It's got a sense of the old pirate radio days, only it's legal and a good mix of music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I've just asked Alexa to play Boom Radio and she has obliged. It seems a bit bland at the moment but I'll give it a bit longer .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our front room was often turned into a dance floor. The same as you, Mam and her sisters, sometimes SueB48 and my sister, all jiving, trying to Jitterbug with Mam was a laugh. I miss those days so much. I forgot to say I love that film, I laugh so much at their antics. Naughty Girls, and that there Bob was having a whale of a time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
