Thanks Emma!
How thankful I am for Emma (a muso friend from waaaay back) introducing me to Sufjan Stevens recently! His music is a mix of a few different styles…pop, classical, rock & folk, not to mention some electronic elements that he uses. I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t heard his stuff before. He plays a mixed bag really, including an assortment of instruments and I LOVE IT ALL! Continue reading
Thanks Shai!
Can you believe that Christmas is only 3 sleeps away! Better get on with it then…

Chosen by Lego Boy
The last of the kids’ picks comes from Lego Boy. This first song is one that Lego Boy sang with the Junior Choir at school. Last week they sang some concerts at some retirement villages in the area. Continue reading
Chosen by Miss Chatty
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m keeping it in the family for a few days, so this time round Miss Chatty, our youngest, has chosen her favourite Christmas tunes, for the day. I’m sure she’d choose other songs if I asked her on a different day! Thinking about it, I know I would too, especially having come across some new versions of songs in the process of putting this list together. Nevertheless, I digress… Continue reading
