Currently on 'Spotify' - listening to Barabra Streisand , Chet Baker (Trio ) and Tony Bennett's versions of " My Funny Valentine"  whilst I work on arranging it for solo guitar.

Versions that make you forget to breathe whilst listening ; and remind you to slow down - and make it your own .

Currently on 'Spotify'

What's the crack with Spotify?  How do I get an invite?  I've got myself a laptop now which means I don't have to use the works one, so I'm after getting this.  Naturally I'm a tight git and don't want to pay.

Join the club mate  :lol: - for as much as it was recommended to me , I wanted the free version or not at all.  I just had to go to the site and ask to join the so called "Queue for free invitation" - a few months ago ; and eventually I got the 'welcome aboard' invite.  I did not like the way they employ this this cheap marketing trick of creating an illusory ( and probably automatically pre- timed)  'Queue' -  but as I did not crack under the strain of waiting ( as if ... :lol: ) all's well that ends well.

The chap that was so insistent I would find great research / leisure value from it, is a  Keyboard  player who also  teaches Music Technology / Studio craft - and so for him £ 10 a month for the Professional version , is small change.

As cynical as I was about it's usefulness ( having not really understood what it was / looked like - till I was allowed access )  it is proving very valuable inspiration for my novice chord melody arranging - and of course proving a great way to discover some great artists and albums; , along with free nostalgia , esoteric JukeBox - and 'Try before you buy' facility.  :)

 most selective online music library / Juke Box I have ever had !  :)

Heavens Basement were great last night, only problem being that the sound guy wasn't on the ball and so the vocals were too quiet :( The band touring with them (Dear Superstar) were utter shitee though and did possibly the worst cover of Lola I've ever heard.

Oh and I have JCM800 gas again, sounded immense. And now I want to be in a decent band.

Hasn't the singer now walked out on them?

Been on a Train Discography kick at the moment. Severely under-rated rock/pop band.
