Now a classic from 1984, for all other '80s boys' here like me.....

not on qobuz alas
Spotify is your friend :)
It's just dreary 'audiophile pap' though (no matter how good sounding), not REAL music, as far as I'm concerned. Soz, that would put me to sleep! :zzz:Quote:

Says the Guy who "many people have said" that Val Doonican is his favourite singer... :D
Lol - you must be getting me mixed up with someone else! :D
Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra or Nat King Cole, yes, but VD, no:eyebrows:
Anyway, COME ON, let's see some evidence of lateral thinking and/or an interest in genuinely inventive NEW music (post-2010 minimum), instead of the same old dullsville cack for middle-aged men with Pringle jumpers, beards, and a penchant for scratching them in a peculiar way!
:ner::ner: ;)
Marco.
Does no-one listen to any dance music, electronica, modern rock music, R&B, rap or indie?:)
Marco.
Big no to VD from me...
Been listening to R&B for over 50:years

And ME! And not just the disease:D However, I'd *almost* prefer listening to Val (as it more 'real')l than some of the dreadful 'female crooners' out there, who sign for 'audiophile' music labels and churn out mind-numbingly soulless cack, posing as 'music', designed for (mostly men) of a 'certain age' to play on their hi-fi systems, and revel in the 'sound quality'!:rolleyes:Quote:

Marco.
Cheers, Adrian. There's no 'Play" button though, and there's nothing written on the first image to say what it is, so can't search for it. I'll check out the second one, though!:)Quote:

Live music...always, but can’t always do that.
Speaking of “a certain age” you’ve got years on me ya old git! :D
Not really [how old are you?] and besides, it's *how*you FEEL and live, and the lifestyle choices you make. In that respect, someone at 40 could be much 'older' than someone at 50, especially when health comes into the equation!
And just to make it clear, I'm not talking about you, but I HATE folk who are or have become OLD before their time... Healthy guys in their 40s acting like old men - I see it all too often and it's bigtime sad!:doh:
Marco.
Chill man...
Spinning a bit of the Boss
https://i.imgur.com/izgOkJZ.jpg
Lol - I'm perfectly chilled:)
Why would I not be, daftee? Just because I'm expressing a forceful and passionate view doesn't mean I'm angry or in a bad mood.
Marco.
P.S I'm pleased you still own a tape deck... Show's you've not totally lost your 'left-field' approach to hi-fi [kidding];)
Just saying mind yer blood pressure auld ‘yin :D
Tape deck..aye.
(Even though I gave all my tapes to the Snapper fella!)
Hey I'm dead young me :)Quote:

Priorities shifted, which can be healthy sometimes.
Happy to have experienced what a good valve amp can do.
Besides...
Big blue VU meters in my future at some point, sometimes you need to let stuff go.
Quite a different way to enjoy music, but hey...
that's part of the fun.
Only around here the one time so why not. :)
