On a wet and wild afternoon in Cornwall what better than a tribute to Maurice White
First up - I AM

‘Write one such piece and one can die.’ So pronounced Rachmaninov, no less, after hearing the second of Medtner’s Arabesques.
My favourite of the solo albums.

I never replaced my EWF albums that got pinched way back when... listening to this makes me think that I really should .
Its taken a few listens but really enjoying Grimes latest (and hopefully I've finally figured how to post screen grabs from my iPad!)

Another brilliant 1976 release
A wonderful album. I must dig out my CD of this and give it a play. My double-CD is bog-standard and the reproduction quality is very good indeed so the 24kt version must be very special indeed.

And moving on to one of my albums of 2015 (there's no stopping me now!!)
