Steaming on TIDAL.........  Something different that I have not played for awhile but enjoy his violin playing and the music. Very nice for this Tuesday afternoon!

Paul Weller - 22 Dreams

Must be something about working in Pompey (as today) which always makes me think of The Wellster. Pulling this record off the shelf I realised I might have played it all of three times. Putting that right, now.

On Vinyl (first time I’ve ever said that on this thread!) .

Debs, I don’t know these recordings, but now that I’ve resurrected my vinyl I completely get why you’ve stuck with vinyl ... Dvorak, whether in Digital or Vinyl is one of the absolute kings of Romantic Classical. I will look this one out.

Currently listening to a surprisingly great album of Brad Mehldau. I was initially not convinced of the concept - but have to say that it works out very fine.
