This is quite a personal post, which I never do, but one I hope you will enjoy ;)
June is one of those months that seems our family has managed to condense most of our birthdays into the same month.
Hence I have been busy and not posting here…
To cut a long story short, I decided to compile a CD for my Dad of all the tracks that he used to play that really made an impact on me.
It was quite an emotional journey, but worth it :)

This is the track listing I ended up with:

01 The Beatles – Help
02 The Moody Blues – Nights In White Satin
03 Fairport Convention – Hanging Song
04 Procol Harum – A Salty Dog
05 The Beatles – I am The Walrus
06 ELO – Mr Blue Sky
07 Procol Harum – Whiter Shade of Pale
08 The Beatles – A Day In The Life
09 Fleetwood Mac – The Chain
10 The Rolling Stones – Paint It Black
11 Mamas and Papas – Monday Monday
12 The Kinks – Sunny Afternoon

But then I got obsessive and had to find videos for all those tracks for a DVD version…

Here is one taster of some truly retro loveliness

Procol Harum – ‘A Salty Dog’ (Live Pop2 1971)

What a great Dad I have that played all those lovely tracks for me and influenced me so much.
