Just discovered that yesterday was actually Ray Stevens’ 85th birthday, so I belatedly proffer that as a tribute.

Why this particular song popped into my mind this evening is probably best not mentioned publicly (I’ve been caught in the crossfire of identity politics wars rather too often!). Suffice it to say there was a particularly earnest academic paper involved…

In an unwontedly cheery mood today. Tseep!

Somewhat unusually (for this thread) an up-to-the-minute posting: Embers - the lead single from the forthcoming solo album by Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess. Vocals by the supremely talented (and all-round good bloke!) Joe Payne, who I’m delighted to see getting the sort of recognition he deserves.

I realise I am not in tune with The Young People Today but that vocal pitch sounds much better to me when it’s sung by a woman.

We both enjoyed this track, joe, and we’ll make a point of listening to more. Thanks!

Will never forget hearing Joe for the first time (probably not one for Hedgers…)

He was most amused when he found out that the last time I’d seen the band live (Hammersmith Odeon, 1986!) was before he was born.

Unfortunately it didn’t work out (to put it mildly) so I’m delighted he’s now doing so well.

Heard this by accident on the road last night, and the Radio 3 web site mis-credits it.

Stunningly beautiful, thank you for that.

A walk by the river today in beautiful sunshine and saw trout jumping so what else could I listen to?
