Latest iTunes purchases
My mum sent me some codes for free iTunes tracks that she got off of six-packs of coke. Now I don't know what she's doing drinking all that coke, we were never allowed any as kids, but as I've got 4 free tunes out of it I won't complain. These are the tunes I decided to buy and, I think, reflect my reasonably varied and eclectic taste in music.
Tea for the Tillerman is the song used for the credits of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's Extras series. It always makes me smile to hear it as that was such a good tv series, better even than the incredible The Office.
Massacre is a cover of a Thin Lizzy song, if you don't own a copy of Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous then you don't know classic rock. Iron Maiden perform a true rock cover, not messed about with, but the Maiden sound is there. Myself and Mrs Williams are off to see the Maiden at Earl's Court in December, can't wait!
Take 5, I love this song by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Although everyone knows the saxophone melody and piano intro it is also famous for its drum solo. Mmmmm, nice.
So much good music in the world, my mum better keep drinking the coke!

Hey, Texas Ian.
How kind of you to not only read my blogs but to take the time to let me know you are out there. I thought I was on my own. Thank's also for 'clock' comments and, no, I have no car so I didn't miss that one :-)
Isn't it funny that parents always tell you not to do something and years later they let themselves down by proving that they didn't mean it!!
Congrats on the web design for Daniel ... very good indeed. What a super character he is ... long live Radio Kent, I say. It's about time someone brought our attention to people like Daniel (and our grandson!)
Hi bjpdam, thanks for reading my blog, I hope you feel you want to keep up with it as time passes as I will be doing with yours.
I'm pleased to call Daniel and his partner Neil (who I have known all my life) my best friends. Indeed myself and my wife are even blessed with a few mentions in Daniel's book. If you get a chance to read it I hope you find it gives some insight into the kind of way people on the autistic spectrum experience life, it certainly did for me, and I hope it proves as useful in your relationship with your grandson. I know from talking with Daniel and reading comments on his blog that his book has profoundly touched the lives of many people, something that we all may aspire to one day achieve.
All the best,
Ian
Hi there Texas!
I think if you like Nerina Pallot you will definitely love Madelaine Peyroux.
